Job completed for Erica J. - Mendham, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: August 31, 2025

Location: Mendham, NJ

Solutions provided:

Erica J. encountered a major ceiling leak in her kitchen in Mendham, NJ, after a burst pipe in the ceiling released water throughout the upper structure. Water soaked through drywall, insulation, and lighting fixtures, dripping onto kitchen countertops and cabinetry below. By the time the PDQ Restoration team arrived at the Mendham, NJ, property, ceiling panels were sagging, and moisture had begun to spread to adjacent rooms. Water damage from burst pipes is common in Mendham, NJ, particularly in older homes with aging plumbing. Fortunately, the homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage restoration, allowing the PDQ Restoration team to begin emergency mitigation without delay.

The PDQ Restoration team in Mendham, NJ, performed controlled ceiling demolition to access and dry the pipe cavity, followed by water extraction and structural drying of the kitchen area. Wet insulation and smoke detectors were removed to prevent electrical hazards and microbial growth. In Mendham, NJ, burst pipe water damage often results in hidden moisture behind walls and trim, so moisture meters and infrared scanning were used to track the spread. High-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers were deployed to stabilize the environment and prevent secondary damage. The full restoration process in the Mendham, NJ, home was documented for insurance, and the kitchen was returned to a safe, dry condition.
