Job completed for Megan S. - Morris Plains, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 22, 2025

Location: Morris Plains, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Megan S. contacted us after noticing a wet spot and ceiling sagging above the upstairs hallway of her Morris Plains, NJ home. The leak originated from a plumbing line in the attic space, which had allowed water to saturate the ceiling drywall and carpeted hallway below. Our water damage team in Morris Plains, NJ began by installing plastic containment to isolate the affected area and protect surrounding rooms. Ceiling demolition was performed to remove the saturated drywall and insulation, followed by water extraction from the hallway carpet. The incident was deemed a sudden and accidental pipe leak and was fully covered by the homeowner's insurance.

The Morris Plains, NJ water damage restoration process involved focused structure drying, including air movers and dehumidifiers positioned within the containment zone. The wet insulation was removed and replaced after the attic cavity was thoroughly dried. Technicians closely monitored moisture levels in the ceiling joists and subfloor under the carpet to prevent secondary damage. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to framing and carpet backing to inhibit mold growth. By isolating the hallway and using detailed drying protocols, our team ensured the affected area in Morris Plains, NJ was fully remediated. This case underscores the need for swift mitigation when plumbing leaks impact ceiling structures and carpeting in Morris Plains, NJ homes.
