Job completed for Greg L. - Silver Lake, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 8, 2025

Location: Silver Lake, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Greg L. in Silver Lake, NJ reported water damage in his living room after a rusted-out pipe inside the wall began leaking steadily behind the drywall. The slow leak went unnoticed until wet carpet and damp baseboards became visible, indicating widespread moisture intrusion. Our Silver Lake, NJ water damage restoration team conducted an initial inspection using thermal imaging and moisture meters, confirming elevated moisture levels inside the wall cavity and beneath the carpet padding. Immediate containment was set up around the affected area to isolate moisture and begin the structure drying process. Carpet extraction and removal of wet padding were necessary to prevent further water damage and mold formation.

The Silver Lake, NJ water damage restoration procedure involved opening the wall to expose the leaking pipe, followed by plumbing repair and targeted drying of structural components. Containment barriers with HEPA-filtered negative air machines were installed to prevent cross-contamination and ensure a controlled drying environment. Air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed within the containment to expedite moisture removal from the wall cavity and subfloor. The Silver Lake, NJ homeowner's insurance covered the water damage loss, allowing for a complete restoration of the affected living room space. This Silver Lake, NJ water damage case highlights the importance of identifying hidden pipe leaks early and using containment methods to effectively dry water-damaged areas with carpeting and drywall.
