Job completed for Carl V. - Dover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 26, 2025

Location: Dover, NJ

Solutions provided:

In Dover, NJ, homeowner Carl V. faced major water damage when a burst dishwasher pipe flooded his kitchen, soaking the laminate flooring and leaking into the subfloor. The appliance leak led to widespread water pooling beneath the cabinets and around kitchen appliances. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration arrived quickly to perform emergency water extraction, followed by the removal of affected baseboards and toe kicks. The Dover, NJ water damage restoration crew used drying mats and dehumidifiers to target moisture beneath the laminate, which is highly prone to warping. Fortunately, the water mitigation process was fully covered by the homeowner's insurance.

During the Dover, NJ restoration project, technicians conducted moisture mapping and utilized infrared cameras to detect hidden dampness behind cabinetry and in wall cavities. The burst dishwasher pipe required temporary plumbing repairs to stop the flow before full drying could begin. Due to delamination of the laminate floor, sections had to be removed and documented for insurance purposes. PDQ applied antimicrobial treatments to prevent microbial growth in moist areas. This kitchen flood in Dover, NJ highlights the importance of fast water damage cleanup to prevent long-term structural issues and costly flooring replacement.
