Why did the customer contact us?

Solutions provided:

Tyler S.’s unfinished basement in Byram Township, NJ sustained significant water damage after a sump pump failure during a late summer storm. As water levels rose, groundwater backed up into the basement, flooding the concrete floor and soaking stored floor hockey equipment, gym mats, and shelving. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded quickly with emergency water extraction and setup of commercial-grade drying equipment. In Byram Township, sump pump failure is a leading cause of unfinished basement water damage, especially when equipment or storage items are left on the floor. Tyler’s homeowner’s insurance covered the basement water cleanup and restoration, allowing for a fully documented water damage insurance claim in Byram Township.

The Byram Township water damage cleanup included removal of standing water, disinfection of affected surfaces, and drying of wet hockey gear and storage bins. PDQ’s technicians isolated the impacted zone and applied antimicrobial treatments to the floor and lower walls to prevent mold growth. High-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers ran continuously to dry out the concrete and suppress basement humidity. In Byram Township, failed sump pump cleanup often requires thorough drying to prevent moisture from wicking into exposed wood framing or stored items. PDQ’s team provided full moisture readings and photographic documentation to support Tyler’s insurance claim. Once dry standard was confirmed, the basement in Byram Township was cleared for reorganization and equipment inspection.
