Job completed for Stephanie L. - Hackettstown, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 20, 2025

Location: Hackettstown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Stephanie L. contacted us after discovering water dripping from the ceiling into the upstairs hallway of her Hackettstown, NJ home. A plumbing issue in the floor above had caused a leak that soaked the ceiling drywall and carpeted hallway below. To prevent further damage and control the affected area, our technicians quickly installed containment plastic to isolate the ceiling and hallway section. Water damage restoration in Hackettstown, NJ began with careful water extraction from the carpet and padding, followed by controlled ceiling demolition to access and dry the affected cavity. The loss was covered under the homeowner’s insurance as a sudden plumbing failure.

This Hackettstown, NJ water damage cleanup included placing air movers and dehumidifiers within the containment to focus drying efforts. The saturated ceiling drywall was removed to expose wet framing, which was treated with antimicrobial solutions to prevent mold. The carpet and padding were dried in place where possible, with moisture readings taken throughout the process to confirm progress. Technicians also coordinated with a plumber to resolve the source of the leak before reconstruction. By using proper containment and drying protocols, our team completed the water damage mitigation in Hackettstown, NJ efficiently, ensuring no spread to adjacent rooms. This case shows how fast containment and targeted drying are crucial during ceiling leak events in Hackettstown, NJ homes.
