Job completed for Natalie F. - Readington Township, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 22, 2025

Location: Readington Township, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Natalie F. in Readington Township, NJ experienced significant water damage after a pipe burst behind the wall near her home office during a deep freeze. The sudden pipe failure released a large volume of water, saturating drywall, carpet, baseboards, and insulation across multiple rooms. PDQ’s water damage restoration team responded promptly in Readington Township to begin emergency mitigation, starting with water extraction and moisture mapping. Affected drywall was removed to expose wet structural components, and high-powered dehumidifiers and air movers were installed to begin the drying process. Thermal imaging confirmed water migration into adjacent rooms, requiring extended drying and containment.

The burst pipe water damage in Readington Township also impacted electrical outlets and caused minor ceiling staining in the floor below, prompting additional safety inspections. Technicians removed wet insulation and applied antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold development. The homeowner’s insurance covered the entire water damage restoration project, including material removal, drying, and content protection. Homes in Readington Township are especially vulnerable to winter-related pipe bursts, making rapid response critical to avoid costly secondary damage. By the end of the job, the affected areas of the Readington Township property were fully dried, sanitized, and prepared for reconstruction.
