Job completed for Jenna L. - Pequannock, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: August 12, 2025

Location: Pequannock, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Jenna L. in Pequannock, NJ dealt with serious water damage after a pipe burst in the ceiling of her partially finished basement. The break occurred in an overhead water line, flooding the tiled floor and seeping into the unfinished section of the basement where storage boxes and shelving were located. When PDQ’s water damage restoration team arrived, they began immediate water extraction from the tile surface and removed baseboards to access moisture trapped behind the walls. Though tile is less porous than carpet or wood, standing water had pooled in grout lines and under the base of partition walls, requiring thorough structural drying.

Burst pipe incidents in Pequannock, NJ basements are common, especially during seasonal temperature swings. This job involved moisture mapping across the finished and unfinished sections, with drying equipment strategically placed to address both visible water and hidden saturation beneath tile and behind drywall. PDQ provided full documentation for the homeowner’s insurance claim, which covered mitigation and necessary repairs. In Pequannock, NJ, partially finished basements with tile can still suffer long-term damage if water sits for too long, especially near wall bases and stored contents. This project underscores the importance of swift, professional response when basement water damage strikes due to a burst pipe in Pequannock, NJ.
