Job completed for Laura T. - Ogdensburg, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 17, 2025

Location: Ogdensburg, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Laura T. reported persistent dampness in the basement of her Ogdensburg, NJ residence. Upon inspection, our team utilized a moisture meter to locate a leaking pipe hidden within the basement wall. The slow pipe leak had gone undetected long enough to saturate drywall, framing, and insulation, leading to significant water damage. Immediate water extraction and structural drying procedures were initiated to stabilize the environment and prevent mold development. Since the water damage originated from a plumbing failure, the restoration costs were covered by the homeowner's insurance provider.

This water damage restoration in Ogdensburg, NJ involved removing wet insulation and cutting away damaged drywall for full access to the affected pipe and surrounding structure. Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers were deployed to dry the basement thoroughly, with moisture levels monitored daily to ensure complete drying. Water-damaged materials were either restored or replaced, depending on their condition. Our technicians also treated exposed framing with antimicrobial solutions to inhibit microbial growth. Throughout the Ogdensburg, NJ project, detailed documentation supported the homeowner's insurance claim, ensuring a smooth process. This case highlights the importance of early moisture detection and expert response when dealing with hidden water damage in Ogdensburg, NJ basements.
