Homeowner Jared W. in Lafayette Township, NJ experienced significant water damage after a pipe burst in the foyer area, affecting the hardwood floor and adjacent interior wall. The sudden pipe failure caused water to pool across the entryway, quickly saturating the wood flooring and wicking up into the lower drywall and baseboards. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded with emergency water extraction and deployed floor drying mats to salvage the hardwood. The Lafayette Township water damage restoration included controlled demolition of the affected wall section to remove wet insulation and begin structural drying. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers were strategically positioned to ensure complete moisture removal in the impacted foyer area.

This Lafayette Township water damage incident required prompt coordination with a licensed plumber to repair the burst pipe and prevent further leakage. Moisture meters and infrared imaging were used to monitor drying progress within the wall cavity and subfloor. Anti-microbial treatments were applied to framing materials to prevent microbial growth, and the wood floor was closely monitored for cupping or warping. The water damage restoration costs were fully covered under the homeowner’s insurance policy. This burst pipe event in Lafayette Township demonstrates how quickly water can impact multiple structural components, requiring comprehensive mitigation and drying strategies.
