Job completed for Bryan K. - Hopatcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 23, 2025

Location: Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Bryan K. contacted our team after detecting a musty odor and damp carpet in a ground-level room of his Hopatcong, NJ home. Further inspection revealed a slow leak from a pipe behind the wall, which had saturated the carpet and padding over time, creating the perfect conditions for mold growth. When our Hopatcong, NJ water damage specialists arrived, we lifted the carpet to discover mold spreading along the subfloor and backing of the carpet. Immediate containment was set up to isolate the affected area and prevent cross-contamination. Due to the hidden plumbing issue and the presence of mold, the restoration work was covered by the homeowner's insurance.

The water damage and mold remediation process in Hopatcong, NJ included removal of the carpet and padding, followed by HEPA vacuuming and application of antimicrobial agents to the subfloor. Air scrubbers were placed inside the containment to filter mold spores and maintain indoor air quality. Dehumidifiers and air movers were used to dry the structure thoroughly, while moisture meters tracked progress. Our technicians also coordinated plumbing repairs to eliminate the leak source. This Hopatcong, NJ case underscores how unnoticed pipe leaks beneath carpeted areas can lead to significant mold problems if not addressed quickly by trained professionals.
