Solutions provided:

Homeowner Melissa J. in Boonton, NJ experienced water damage after a leaking pipe behind the kitchen's double sink allowed water to seep into the adjoining bathroom wall. The slow leak went unnoticed for an extended period, leading to damp drywall, softened baseboards, and elevated moisture readings in the shared wall structure. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration performed a thorough inspection and used thermal imaging to trace the extent of the water damage in the Boonton home. Restoration began with removal of wet drywall in both the kitchen and bathroom, along with water extraction and structural drying using commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers.

This Boonton water damage restoration required plumbing repairs to the leaking pipe before drying and reconstruction could proceed. Wet insulation was removed and replaced, and antimicrobial treatments were applied to all affected surfaces to prevent mold growth. Moisture monitoring was conducted throughout the project to ensure complete dry-out of both rooms. The homeowner's insurance policy covered the cost of water damage mitigation, material replacement, and wall reconstruction. This case in Boonton, NJ highlights how concealed pipe leaks behind kitchen fixtures can lead to widespread water damage, even affecting rooms on the opposite side of the wall.
