Why did the customer contact us?

Solutions provided:

A leaking copper pipe above the drop ceiling in Brian L.’s finished basement caused extensive water damage in his Mine Hill, NJ home. The slow leak saturated ceiling tiles, dripped onto laminate flooring, and introduced moisture into wall cavities before being discovered. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration arrived promptly to assess the basement water damage and begin water extraction and structural drying. In Mine Hill, basement water damage from leaking pipes often affects hidden areas above drop ceilings and behind finished walls, requiring moisture mapping and selective demolition. Brian’s homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage cleanup and restoration under a standard water damage insurance claim in Mine Hill. The team removed damaged tiles and baseboards to expose affected materials for drying.

The Mine Hill water damage restoration included drying damp framing above the ceiling and treating the basement walls for potential microbial growth. Air movers and dehumidifiers were deployed throughout the finished space to reduce moisture levels quickly. Damaged ceiling tiles were discarded and replaced after moisture readings confirmed dry conditions above the drop ceiling in the Mine Hill property. PDQ’s technicians also inspected nearby insulation and electrical components to ensure no further water intrusion had occurred. The restoration process in Mine Hill concluded with antimicrobial treatment and the installation of new ceiling panels to return the basement to pre-loss condition. All documentation for the Mine Hill job was provided to Brian’s insurance for claim support and verification.
