Job completed for Harold V. - Netcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: August 19, 2025

Location: Netcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Harold V. encountered serious water damage beneath his Netcong, NJ home when a burst pipe in the crawlspace released a large volume of water that saturated the ground and structural supports. The flooding was discovered after musty odors began seeping into the living space above, prompting an inspection that revealed standing water and signs of developing moisture-related issues. In Netcong, NJ, crawlspace water damage from a burst pipe poses long-term risks to foundation materials, insulation, and joists if not addressed quickly. Fortunately, the incident was classified as sudden and accidental, qualifying for coverage under the homeowner’s insurance policy.

The water damage restoration team in Netcong, NJ began with immediate water extraction using submersible pumps and portable vacuums, followed by placement of low-profile air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers to dry the tight space. Wet insulation was removed, and antimicrobial treatments were applied to prevent mold and mildew growth on exposed wood and vapor barriers. Moisture levels were monitored daily until the crawlspace met IICRC standards for structure drying. This Netcong, NJ job highlighted the critical need for fast action in burst pipe emergencies, effective crawlspace water removal, and preventative measures to avoid costly structural deterioration and microbial contamination.
