Job completed for Brian H. - Denville, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 23, 2025

Location: Denville, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Brian H. in Denville, NJ encountered extensive water damage after a pipe burst in the ceiling of his partially finished home. The ceiling pipe break released a significant volume of water that soaked insulation, collapsed sections of drywall, and flooded the upper and lower levels. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration arrived promptly to initiate water extraction, followed by removal of saturated ceiling materials and wet carpeting. The water damage restoration in Denville, NJ included detailed moisture mapping to track water spread into wall cavities and unfinished storage areas. This loss was covered by the homeowner’s insurance, which facilitated full mitigation and repair.

During the Denville, NJ project, drying equipment was strategically placed in both finished and unfinished areas to ensure complete structural drying. Technicians used thermal imaging to locate hidden moisture, particularly in framing and subflooring. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to exposed surfaces to prevent mold development, and debris removal included damaged ceiling panels and insulation. The burst pipe also caused water to drip into electrical fixtures, requiring coordination with a licensed electrician. This Denville, NJ water damage case illustrates the destructive potential of ceiling pipe failures and the critical importance of prompt restoration in partially finished homes.
