Job completed for Thomas J. - Mt. Arlington, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 24, 2025

Location: Mt. Arlington, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Thomas J. reported water pooling along the base of the kitchen cabinets in his Mt. Arlington, NJ home. Upon inspection, our team identified a leaking refrigerator supply line as the source of the water damage. The slow, steady leak had soaked into the kitchen tile grout lines and migrated beneath the cabinets and subfloor. Our Mt. Arlington, NJ water damage restoration team began by disconnecting the appliance, removing toe-kicks, and checking for moisture beneath the tile and cabinetry using thermal imaging and moisture meters. Since the loss was caused by a sudden appliance failure, the damage was covered by the homeowner's insurance.

Water damage cleanup in Mt. Arlington, NJ included setting up containment to isolate the kitchen, removing saturated cabinet components, and initiating structure drying with air movers and dehumidifiers. The tile floor was left intact but carefully monitored to ensure no trapped moisture remained beneath. Antimicrobial solutions were applied to prevent microbial growth along subfloor edges and beneath cabinet frames. Equipment remained in place for several days with daily readings to confirm drying goals were achieved. This Mt. Arlington, NJ water damage case emphasizes the importance of fast, professional intervention when dealing with appliance leaks affecting tiled kitchen areas.
