Job completed for Rachel P. - Byram Township, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 23, 2025

Location: Byram Township, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Rachel P. reached out after finding water pooling along the edges of her laminate wood flooring in the living area of her Byram Township, NJ home. The source was traced to a slow leak from the refrigerator supply line, which had gone undetected and spread beneath the floating floor system. Water had migrated under the laminate planks, causing swelling, warping, and damage to the underlying vapor barrier and subfloor. Our Byram Township, NJ water damage restoration team began with moisture mapping and removal of all affected laminate flooring to expose the saturated materials beneath. Since the water intrusion was caused by a sudden appliance failure, the loss qualified for insurance coverage.

Water damage mitigation in Byram Township, NJ required controlled demolition of the damaged vapor barrier and drying of the concrete subfloor using air movers and low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers. Containment was installed to isolate the living area and prevent cross-contamination with unaffected parts of the home. Antimicrobial treatment was applied to the subfloor to reduce the risk of mold growth before drying equipment was placed. Daily monitoring ensured that moisture levels dropped to acceptable thresholds prior to reconstruction. This case highlights the importance of immediate response and professional water extraction when dealing with water under laminate wood floors in Byram Township, NJ homes.
