Job completed for Kevin S. - Dover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 3, 2025

Location: Dover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Kevin S. in Dover, NJ discovered water damage in his bedroom after a pipe leak along the exterior wall caused slow but continuous moisture intrusion. The leak led to saturated drywall, wet insulation, and damp carpet along the base of the bedroom wall. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration performed moisture mapping and found elevated readings across a large section of the exterior wall. Water damage restoration in Dover included removal of the wet drywall, insulation extraction, and placement of drying equipment to address hidden moisture within wall cavities. High-velocity air movers and dehumidifiers were used to stabilize conditions and prevent mold growth.

The Dover water damage incident required coordination with a plumber to repair the leaking pipe before structural drying could continue. Anti-microbial treatments were applied to exposed framing to inhibit any microbial activity. Carpet padding was replaced, and the subfloor was dried and inspected for long-term water damage. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the cost of the water damage cleanup and repairs, including replacement of the affected wall materials and carpet. This case in Dover, NJ demonstrates how pipe leaks in exterior walls can result in concealed water damage that requires thorough professional remediation to restore interior living spaces safely.
