Job completed for Elaine T. - Morristown, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 27, 2025

Location: Morristown, NJ

Solutions provided:

In Morristown, NJ, homeowner Elaine T. discovered significant water damage after a pipe broke in the ceiling directly above her kitchen. The ceiling pipe burst caused water to leak through drywall, damaging lighting fixtures and cabinetry below. Water traveled down the wall cavities and spread across the hardwood floor, leading to visible warping and saturation. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded immediately with water extraction and structure drying to limit further damage. The water damage cleanup and restoration in Morristown, NJ was processed through the homeowner's insurance, ensuring a smooth remediation experience.

During the Morristown, NJ restoration, technicians removed collapsed ceiling drywall and wet insulation to expose hidden moisture. Thermal imaging and moisture meters helped detect water trapped in joists and subflooring. Drying equipment was set up to stabilize the environment and prevent mold growth. This kitchen water damage project in Morristown also required the disconnection and later reinstallation of overhead lighting fixtures. Once the drying goals were achieved, repairs began, including ceiling reinstallation and hardwood refinishing. The broken pipe incident in Morristown, NJ underscores the importance of quick response in mitigating ceiling and kitchen water damage from pipe failures.
