Job completed for Thomas J. - Byram Township, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 7, 2025

Location: Byram Township, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Thomas J. in Byram Township, NJ suffered significant water damage after a pipe burst beneath the kitchen floor, affecting both tile and hardwood flooring. The rupture caused water to flood across the kitchen, seeping beneath the tile near the sink area and migrating toward the adjacent hardwood flooring in the dining space. The leak continued for several hours before it was detected, allowing moisture to penetrate into the subfloor and baseboards. Our emergency response team began immediate water extraction and removed toe kicks from the kitchen cabinets to assess the full extent of the water intrusion. Moisture mapping confirmed that both the tile and hardwood areas had absorbed substantial water.

Water damage restoration in Byram Township, NJ included removal of affected hardwood planks, drying of the tile and subfloor, and dehumidification of wall cavities surrounding the burst pipe. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the loss due to the sudden and accidental nature of the pipe burst. Specialized drying mats were used to salvage the remaining hardwood, while air movers targeted high-moisture zones beneath the kitchen cabinets. Our team monitored the drying process daily until moisture levels were stabilized. This Byram Township, NJ water damage event highlights how pipe bursts in kitchen areas with mixed flooring can lead to widespread structural damage without swift professional intervention.
