Job completed for Laura P. - Montville, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: August 15, 2025

Location: Montville, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Laura P. in Montville, NJ experienced moderate water damage in her partially finished basement following a sudden discharge from a disconnected sump pump line. The water spread across both the finished and unfinished areas, soaking drywall, laminate flooring, and exposed concrete. PDQ’s water damage restoration team arrived promptly, extracting standing water and performing a detailed moisture assessment of affected materials. Portions of wet drywall were removed, especially near the base of finished walls, to allow for proper structure drying. In the unfinished section, contents were moved and sanitized, while industrial dehumidifiers and air movers were deployed across the entire basement to restore moisture levels.

Water damage in Montville, NJ basements often occurs due to sump pump failures, burst pipes, or heavy rain events overwhelming drainage systems. In this case, PDQ’s technicians treated both finished and raw surfaces, preventing mold growth and preserving as much structural integrity as possible. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the water mitigation efforts, including demolition, drying, and debris removal. Montville, NJ homes with partially finished basements are particularly vulnerable to this type of loss, as water can easily migrate between finished walls and concrete areas. This project highlights the need for thorough, professional water damage restoration in Montville, NJ when mechanical failures cause basement flooding.
