Job completed for Lisa R. - Morristown, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 6, 2025

Location: Morristown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Lisa R. in Morristown, NJ discovered water damage caused by a slow leaking pipe hidden behind a bedroom dresser. The persistent leak had gone unnoticed for weeks, leading to saturation of the wall cavity and substantial water damage to the hardwood floor. Once the source was identified, PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration initiated emergency water extraction, removed the affected drywall, and began structural drying procedures. Wet insulation behind the wall was replaced, and moisture mapping ensured all impacted areas were thoroughly dried to prevent mold growth. The water damage restoration project in Morristown included the use of industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to expedite drying of the wood floor and baseboards.

Due to the hidden nature of the leak, the water had time to seep into subflooring and base layers of the wood flooring, requiring specialized drying mats and monitoring over several days. This Morristown water damage job was covered by the homeowner's insurance, which streamlined the restoration process. The damage also called for minor repairs to HVAC discharge lines located nearby to prevent future leaks. Throughout the Morristown home, moisture levels were consistently tested to verify a complete dry-out and avoid long-term structural mold. This case of slow pipe leakage in Morristown highlights the importance of early detection and comprehensive water damage restoration to protect wood floors and internal structures.
