Job completed for Daniel S. - Lake Hopatcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 5, 2025

Location: Lake Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Daniel S. in Lake Hopatcong, NJ experienced major basement water damage after a pipe burst unexpectedly, flooding the entire tiled basement floor. The pressurized water quickly spread across the finished basement, saturating tile grout lines, baseboards, and soaking into nearby drywall and cabinetry. The burst pipe went unnoticed for several hours, allowing water to pool extensively before the main shut-off valve was located. Our emergency water damage restoration team arrived on-site to begin immediate water extraction and assess the extent of the damage. Moisture mapping confirmed water intrusion throughout most of the basement in the Lake Hopatcong, NJ property.

In Lake Hopatcong, NJ, restoration efforts included tile floor drying, baseboard removal, and dehumidification of all affected building materials. The burst pipe was repaired, and air movers were placed to dry out the subfloor and wall cavities hidden behind furniture and built-in shelving. Because the flooding was caused by a sudden pipe failure, the homeowner’s insurance policy covered the full cost of mitigation and structural drying. Our team monitored the moisture levels daily, ensuring all areas of the Lake Hopatcong, NJ basement were fully restored. This water damage case in Lake Hopatcong, NJ illustrates how burst pipes in finished basements with tile can lead to widespread damage without rapid, professional intervention.
