Job completed for Carla M. - Blairstown, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 28, 2025

Location: Blairstown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Carla M. discovered a leaking pipe and visible black mold inside a living room wall in her Blairstown, NJ home after noticing a musty odor and peeling paint along the baseboard. A slow plumbing leak behind the drywall had gone undetected for weeks, allowing moisture to accumulate and mold colonies to form on the backside of the drywall and adjacent wood framing. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration performed a full mold inspection, using moisture meters and thermal imaging to confirm the presence of hidden water damage and structural mold. In Blairstown, black mold remediation following a plumbing leak involves precise containment, HEPA air filtration, and removal of contaminated materials. Carla’s insurance covered the cost of both water damage cleanup and mold remediation under her policy in Blairstown.

The Blairstown mold remediation project began with establishing negative air containment around the affected living room wall and performing controlled demolition of the mold-infested drywall. PDQ’s technicians removed wet insulation, sanitized exposed framing, and treated all surfaces with antimicrobial agents designed for structural mold. Air scrubbers operated throughout the process to capture airborne mold spores and prevent cross-contamination in Carla’s Blairstown home. Once the wall cavity was dry and cleared by post-remediation testing, the space was prepped for reconstruction. PDQ provided Carla with a sample mold test PDF and a complete remediation report for insurance documentation. The Blairstown black mold cleanup concluded with final moisture readings and restoration of the living room wall to safe, mold-free conditions.
