Solutions provided:

Homeowner Olivia F. in Hardwick Township, NJ discovered water damage in her basement after a ceiling leak developed from a bathroom pipe above. The leak left visible water stains and sagging on multiple ceiling tiles, indicating prolonged exposure to moisture. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration conducted a full inspection and removed the affected ceiling tiles to assess the extent of water intrusion. The Hardwick Township water damage restoration included moisture readings in the surrounding drywall and joists, followed by structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers. Wet insulation in the ceiling cavity was removed and replaced after all surfaces were dried and treated.

This ceiling leak in Hardwick Township, NJ was attributed to a slow drip from a deteriorated pipe fitting, which was repaired by a licensed plumber before restoration work continued. The ceiling cavity was treated with an anti-microbial solution to prevent mold development in the basement. Water damage cleanup services also involved replacing the stained ceiling tiles and repainting adjacent surfaces that had been discolored by moisture. The homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage repairs and material replacements. This Hardwick Township water damage case underscores the importance of addressing ceiling leaks promptly to prevent hidden damage and microbial risks in finished basement spaces.
