Completion date: July 21, 2025

Location: Lake Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

When a water heater burst in the finished basement of Angela M.'s home in Lake Hopatcong, NJ, it flooded the space, damaging gym equipment, carpet, and drywall, while also impacting the unfinished utility area. The sudden rupture released gallons of water across the flooring, saturating the finished sections and seeping into wall cavities. Our emergency response team arrived quickly to begin water extraction and assess the extent of structural water damage. In Lake Hopatcong, NJ, burst water heater incidents often cause significant damage to finished basements, requiring both contents cleaning and extensive structure drying. This loss was covered by insurance, which allowed full restoration of both finished and unfinished areas.

The Lake Hopatcong, NJ restoration process involved removing wet carpet, padding, and affected drywall in the finished gym area, followed by equipment drying to preserve salvageable fitness machines. The unfinished section required water extraction from the concrete floor and drying of exposed framing and insulation. Our technicians applied antimicrobial treatments and monitored moisture levels to prevent future mold growth. In Lake Hopatcong, NJ, basement water damage from appliance failures like water heaters is common and requires specialized drying equipment to protect contents and structure. This job highlighted the importance of quick action to mitigate damage and fully restore multi-use basement spaces.
