Completion date: August 18, 2025

Location: Hackettstown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Natalie C. experienced unexpected water damage in her Hackettstown, NJ home when a pipe burst in the ceiling of the hallway leading to the living room. Water rapidly spread across the ceiling, saturating insulation, drywall, and light fixtures before dripping down into the hallway flooring and adjoining living space. In Hackettstown, NJ, ceiling water damage from burst pipes often leads to extensive cleanup and repairs due to hidden moisture and the risk of mold growth inside ceiling cavities. The damage was immediately reported to the homeowner’s insurance company and was deemed a covered loss under her policy, which included provisions for sudden water releases.

The water damage restoration team in Hackettstown, NJ arrived quickly to perform water extraction, remove soaked ceiling materials, and install air movers and LGR dehumidifiers to dry the structural framing and surrounding areas. Moisture mapping revealed elevated readings in both the hallway and part of the living room, requiring targeted structure drying and antimicrobial treatment to prevent microbial contamination. Ceiling insulation was replaced, drywall was reinstalled, and all affected areas were deodorized to restore a safe living environment. This Hackettstown, NJ job emphasized the importance of fast action in burst pipe ceiling leaks, thorough moisture monitoring, and complete insurance-covered water damage restoration.
