Job completed for Denise R. - Blairstown, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 19, 2025

Location: Blairstown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Denise R. reached out after her sump pump failed during heavy rainfall, causing water to flood the finished basement of her Blairstown, NJ home. The carpet, padding, and lower drywall were saturated, and standing water was present across a large portion of the basement floor. Our crew arrived promptly to begin emergency water extraction and moisture mapping throughout the affected zones. Due to the rapid spread of water and potential for secondary damage, the basement carpet was removed, and the area was treated with antimicrobial agents. This water damage restoration in Blairstown, NJ was covered by the homeowner's insurance due to the mechanical failure of the sump pump.

The water damage in Blairstown, NJ required focused structure drying to address the high moisture levels in the subfloor, wall base, and surrounding materials. Commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed to expedite drying, with daily monitoring to ensure progress. We removed wet drywall up to the flood line and performed targeted demolition only where necessary. All salvageable contents were cleaned and relocated during the drying phase. This Blairstown, NJ sump pump failure highlights the critical importance of proper water extraction, equipment placement, and professional restoration in preventing mold and long-term damage after a finished basement flood.
