Job completed for Kevin M. - Andover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: August 4, 2025

Location: Andover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Kevin M. in Andover, NJ experienced hidden water damage stemming from a leaking grout seal around his upstairs bathtub. Over time, water seeped through the compromised grout and saturated the subfloor beneath the tub, eventually leaking down into the ceiling of the room below. The water intrusion caused bubbling paint, soft drywall, and elevated moisture readings in structural wood components. PDQ’s water damage restoration crew responded promptly, removing water-damaged drywall and flooring materials to access the affected areas. Once exposed, industrial air movers and dehumidifiers were used to dry out the subfloor and ceiling cavities thoroughly.

In Andover, NJ, water damage from leaking tub grout is a common yet often overlooked issue that can lead to widespread structural problems if left unchecked. This restoration project required precision water extraction, moisture control, and structural drying to prevent mold growth within the home. PDQ technicians also coordinated repairs with the homeowner’s insurance company, which covered the necessary mitigation and reconstruction. Homes in Andover, NJ frequently suffer from bathroom-related water losses, including leaking seals, appliance failures, or overflowing tubs. This case underscores the importance of proactive maintenance and timely response when hidden leaks lead to interior water damage in Andover, NJ properties.
