When a water heater connection burst in the unfinished basement of Teaneck, NJ homeowner Jordan L., it caused significant water damage and widespread saturation of stored personal contents. The failed plumbing connection released gallons of water across the concrete floor, soaking cardboard boxes, furniture, and stored electronics. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded immediately to begin water extraction and content protection. The water damage restoration in Teaneck, NJ included moving salvageable items to a dry staging area, discarding unsalvageable contents, and beginning structural drying with high-capacity dehumidifiers and air movers.
