Completion date: July 24, 2025

Location: Rockaway, NJ

Solutions provided:

When school administrator Monica L. discovered a burst pipe in the ceiling of a children's classroom in Rockaway, NJ, the resulting water damage quickly flooded the entire space. The water intrusion soaked floor coverings, educational supplies, desks, and impacted drywall and baseboards. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded promptly to perform water extraction, content protection, and structural drying. The water damage restoration in Rockaway, NJ included the removal of ceiling panels, saturated insulation, and affected wall sections to prevent microbial growth. The commercial water loss was processed through the building's insurance, ensuring complete mitigation and repair.

Throughout the Rockaway, NJ restoration project, commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers were deployed to dry the classroom to IICRC standards. Moisture mapping and thermal imaging helped identify water that had spread to nearby hallways and adjacent classrooms. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to all affected surfaces to prevent mold development. Special attention was paid to air quality and sanitation, given the sensitive nature of a children's educational environment. This Rockaway, NJ classroom water damage event illustrates the urgency and complexity of pipe burst scenarios in schools and the importance of swift, professional water mitigation services.
