Job completed for Emily R. - Mendham, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: August 16, 2025

Location: Mendham, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Emily R. in Mendham, NJ experienced extensive water damage after a shower body pipe burst inside the wall, allowing water to flood the adjacent bedroom. The rupture occurred behind the tiled shower enclosure and went unnoticed until water began seeping through the shared wall and soaking the carpeted bedroom floor. PDQ’s water damage restoration team responded quickly, cutting into the bathroom wall to access the burst pipe and initiating water extraction from the affected bedroom carpet. The saturated drywall and baseboards were removed, and drying equipment was placed to stabilize moisture levels behind the walls and beneath the flooring.

In Mendham, NJ, burst shower body pipes are a frequent cause of hidden water damage, often impacting not only the bathroom but surrounding rooms as well. In this case, the water migrated beneath the carpet and into the subfloor, requiring days of monitored structural drying. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the full mitigation and restoration process, including demolition, equipment use, and repairs. Bedrooms in Mendham, NJ homes are especially vulnerable to pipe failures in adjacent bathrooms due to shared plumbing walls and lack of early detection. This incident emphasizes the importance of prompt, professional water damage restoration in Mendham, NJ when plumbing failures affect living spaces beyond the immediate source.
