Job completed for Danielle K. - Ledgewood, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 30, 2025

Location: Ledgewood, NJ

Solutions provided:

A burst pipe in the wall of Danielle K.’s spare room led to significant water damage throughout her Ledgewood, NJ home. The sudden pipe rupture released gallons of water across the wood flooring, seeping into the floorboards and affecting the subfloor beneath. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded with emergency water extraction, wood floor drying, and structural dehumidification. In Ledgewood, wood floor water damage caused by burst pipes often requires specialized drying mats and moisture mapping to prevent warping and buckling. The water damage in Danielle’s home was covered under her homeowner’s insurance policy, which included full coverage for water damage restoration in Ledgewood. Technicians carefully monitored moisture levels to protect the hardwood from permanent damage.

The Ledgewood water damage cleanup included removing baseboards to dry wall cavities and deploying drying equipment targeted at the saturated subfloor and hardwood layers. Because the pipe burst had gone unnoticed for a short period, portions of the wood flooring in the Ledgewood spare room began to cup and required careful evaluation for salvage or replacement. Antimicrobial treatment was applied throughout the affected area to prevent mold growth. PDQ’s team in Ledgewood documented every step of the process, from initial water extraction to final moisture verification, for insurance support. The Ledgewood property was returned to dry standard, and a flooring contractor assessed the remaining planks to determine which could be refinished and which required replacement.
