Job completed for Karen R. - Madison, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 19, 2025

Location: Madison, NJ

Solutions provided:

A burst pipe in the finished basement of Karen R.'s home in Madison, NJ caused significant water damage throughout the lower level, soaking carpet, drywall, and laminate flooring. The broken pipe released hundreds of gallons of water before it was discovered, leading to standing water and saturation of wall cavities and subflooring. Immediate water extraction and structural drying were critical to minimize long-term damage. In Madison, NJ, water damage from burst pipes in basements often requires carpet removal, baseboard demolition, and extensive dehumidification. This particular water loss was covered by insurance, allowing for a full restoration of the affected areas.

At this Madison, NJ residence, crews performed wet insulation removal, treated all structural surfaces with antimicrobial solutions, and used thermal imaging to identify hidden moisture. The water damage restoration process included drying the basement walls and floors, preventing secondary damage such as mold growth. Due to the extent of the water infiltration, laminate floor replacement and drywall reconstruction were necessary. Water damage in Madison, NJ basements is common during colder months when pipe insulation fails, making pipe insulation upgrades a key recommendation. This job underscores the importance of professional water damage response after a plumbing emergency in a finished basement setting.
