Job completed for Melissa K. - Township of Washington, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 19, 2025

Location: Township of Washington, NJ

Solutions provided:

In the Township of Washington, NJ, homeowner Melissa K. experienced severe water damage after a pipe burst in her finished basement, flooding the space and affecting the tile flooring throughout. The sudden water pipe break sent water rushing across the floor, seeping under built-ins, soaking baseboards, and entering utility closets. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded immediately with high-capacity extraction equipment, followed by the deployment of dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the affected areas. The water damage restoration in the Township of Washington, NJ included removing sections of saturated drywall and inspecting the subfloor beneath the tile. The entire mitigation and restoration process was covered by the homeowner’s insurance.

During the Township of Washington, NJ water mitigation, PDQ technicians used thermal imaging to trace moisture migration behind wall cavities and into adjacent finished spaces. Drying mats were installed to address trapped moisture beneath the tile flooring without requiring full tile removal. Antimicrobial agents were applied to exposed structural elements to prevent mold development. All damaged contents were documented for the insurance claim, and the drying process was monitored daily to ensure full remediation. This water damage case in the Township of Washington, NJ illustrates the importance of quick intervention when dealing with burst pipes in finished basements with tile floors.
