Job completed for Olivia B. - Hopatcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 5, 2025

Location: Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Olivia B. in Hopatcong, NJ contacted us after a pipe leak behind the shower wall caused significant water damage in her bathroom and spread into adjacent areas. The leaking shower pipe released a steady flow of water that flooded the tile flooring in the bathroom and hallway, eventually reaching a nearby carpeted bedroom. By the time the leak was identified, water had saturated the bathroom walls, hallway grout lines, and soaked deep into the bedroom carpet and padding. Our team responded quickly to perform water extraction from the tile and carpeting and opened the shower wall to access the leaking pipe. Thermal imaging revealed elevated moisture levels in multiple floor and wall assemblies.

In Hopatcong, NJ, the water damage restoration included removing wet drywall, extracting water from the carpeted bedroom, and placing drying equipment throughout the affected zones. Wet insulation behind the shower was discarded, and antimicrobial treatment was applied to prevent microbial growth. The loss was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy due to the plumbing-related cause. Structure drying continued over several days, with moisture levels monitored to ensure full dehumidification before repairs began. This water damage job in Hopatcong, NJ shows how a localized shower pipe leak can quickly spread across tile and carpeted surfaces, requiring prompt, professional water mitigation services in homes with mixed flooring materials.
