Job completed for Olivia F. - Summit, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 26, 2025

Location: Summit, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Olivia F. experienced a major water loss in her Summit, NJ home after a supply line burst in the basement utility room. The rupture occurred overnight, flooding the finished basement and saturating the carpet, padding, and lower drywall throughout the space. When our water damage restoration team arrived in Summit, NJ, standing water was still present across multiple rooms. We began immediate water extraction, followed by removal of damaged carpet and baseboards to access the saturated subfloor and wall cavities. Because the damage was caused by a sudden pipe burst, the cleanup and restoration were covered by the homeowner's insurance policy.

This water damage restoration project in Summit, NJ required extensive structure drying and moisture control. High-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed to target wet areas and prevent microbial growth. Wet drywall was removed to the flood line, and antimicrobial treatments were applied to exposed framing and subflooring. Daily moisture checks ensured that all structural materials dried to industry standards before reconstruction began. The affected areas were documented throughout the process to support the insurance claim. This Summit, NJ basement flood illustrates the severe impact a burst supply line can have and the importance of rapid, professional mitigation in carpeted basement spaces.
