Homeowner Thomas B. in Chatham, NJ suffered water damage in his kitchen after a dishwasher supply line burst unexpectedly. The rapid leak flooded the kitchen floor, saturating the hardwood flooring and seeping into the base cabinets and underlayment. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded with emergency water extraction, followed by deployment of floor drying mats and commercial-grade dehumidifiers. The water damage restoration in Chatham focused on salvaging the hardwood floors while preventing mold growth beneath cabinetry and behind baseboards. Moisture readings and thermal imaging confirmed the spread of water to adjacent rooms, prompting expansion of the drying zone.

This Chatham water damage case required removal of kick plates and portions of the base cabinetry to access hidden moisture pockets. The dishwasher pipe failure was documented as the source of loss and approved for coverage by the homeowner’s insurance provider. Technicians treated all affected areas with anti-microbial solutions and conducted multiple structure drying checks to ensure complete moisture removal. In this kitchen water damage restoration in Chatham, special attention was given to preventing cupping and warping in the hardwood flooring. The burst pipe and resulting water damage underscore how quickly appliance failures in Chatham, NJ can escalate into widespread kitchen restoration projects.
