Job completed for Monica H. - Hopatcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 2, 2025

Location: Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Monica H. experienced a sudden ceiling leak in her living room in Hopatcong, NJ, after a burst pipe in the ceiling released gallons of water onto the floor below. The leak saturated ceiling drywall, insulation, and poured down onto the living room furnishings and flooring, creating widespread water damage. By the time the PDQ Restoration team arrived at the Hopatcong, NJ, home, the ceiling was sagging, and the area required immediate water extraction and structural drying. In Hopatcong, NJ, burst pipe incidents like this are common during sudden temperature shifts and can lead to hidden moisture damage. Fortunately, the water damage restoration was fully covered by the homeowner's insurance policy.

The PDQ Restoration team conducted controlled demolition of the wet ceiling and removed soaked insulation to expose the affected pipe cavity in the Hopatcong, NJ, living room. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers were installed to dry the ceiling structure, walls, and flooring. Moisture meters were used to ensure that all areas reached proper dryness before reconstruction. In Hopatcong, NJ, living room water damage from burst pipes often requires careful attention to prevent mold and long-term structural issues. The PDQ Restoration team documented the entire process for insurance and completed the restoration to pre-loss condition in the Hopatcong, NJ, home.
