Job completed for Rachel G. - Dover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 29, 2025

Location: Dover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Heavy rainfall overwhelmed the sump pump at the home of Rachel G. in Dover, NJ, resulting in basement flooding and extensive water damage. The failed sump pump allowed groundwater to rise rapidly, flooding the finished basement with several inches of water and damaging flooring, drywall, and personal contents. Emergency water extraction was performed as soon as the water receded, followed by a full structure drying process. In Dover, NJ, water damage from sump pump failures is common during storm events and often leads to saturation of basement materials and elevated humidity levels. Fortunately, this loss was covered under the homeowner's insurance policy.

Our restoration team in Dover, NJ removed water-damaged carpet and baseboards, performed wet drywall cuts, and installed industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the structure. Special attention was given to the basement's perimeter where water infiltration was heaviest. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to all affected areas to prevent mold growth, a frequent concern in flood-damaged basements. Sump pump failure water damage in Dover, NJ often necessitates both equipment replacement and mitigation of long-term moisture issues. Once the basement was dry and stable, a plan for reconstruction was put in place to return the space to pre-flood condition.
