Why did the customer contact us?

Solutions provided:

Derek W.’s finished basement in Stillwater Township, NJ sustained water damage after a heavy rainstorm caused water intrusion through a foundation crack, soaking the carpet and padding throughout the room. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration was called in to perform emergency water extraction and begin the drying process. In Stillwater Township, finished basement water damage commonly impacts carpeting, baseboards, and drywall when ground saturation leads to seepage. Technicians used high-powered extraction tools to remove water from the carpet and then lifted sections to access and dry the wet pad underneath. Derek’s homeowner’s insurance covered the cost of the water damage restoration under a Stillwater Township water damage insurance claim.

The Stillwater Township water damage cleanup continued with the installation of air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the basement structure and prevent mold growth. Moisture readings were taken daily to track progress and adjust the drying plan as needed. The carpet was evaluated for salvageability based on contamination level and fiber integrity, with targeted disinfection applied throughout. In Stillwater Township, basement water extraction and drying often require baseboard removal to dry behind walls and prevent microbial issues. PDQ’s team documented all phases of the water damage mitigation, including photos, dry logs, and material assessments for Derek’s insurance claim. The finished basement was returned to dry standard, with repairs scheduled once drying was fully complete.
