Job completed for Nathan G. - Lafayette Township, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: September 30, 2025

Location: Lafayette Township, NJ

Solutions provided:

Nathan G.’s Lafayette Township, NJ home sustained ceiling water damage after the toilet connection in the upstairs bathroom began leaking unnoticed. The slow leak saturated the subfloor and eventually dripped through the ceiling drywall in the room below, staining the surface and creating soft spots around the fixture. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration responded promptly to assess the full extent of the water intrusion and begin mitigation. In Lafayette Township, ceiling water damage from leaking bathroom fixtures often requires controlled demolition, water extraction, and structural drying. Nathan’s insurance policy covered the full scope of the water damage under a standard water damage insurance claim in Lafayette Township.

The Lafayette Township ceiling water damage cleanup began with establishing containment and removing damaged drywall to expose the wet ceiling cavity. Wet insulation and compromised framing were dried using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, while antimicrobial agents were applied to inhibit mold growth. Moisture mapping ensured that hidden wet zones were identified and addressed. In many Lafayette Township homes, water damage from upstairs bathroom leaks requires both ceiling repair and inspection of surrounding electrical fixtures. PDQ provided detailed documentation, including moisture readings and photos, to support Nathan’s insurance claim and ensure a smooth approval process. The affected ceiling in Lafayette Township was fully dried, sanitized, and prepped for reconstruction.
