Location: Liberty, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Olivia H. in Liberty, NJ experienced sudden water damage after a pipe burst in the ceiling above her living room, allowing water to pour onto the hardwood flooring below. The pipe failure caused widespread saturation of ceiling drywall, insulation, and wood flooring, with water also seeping into nearby wall cavities. Upon arrival at the Liberty, NJ property, our water damage restoration team performed emergency water extraction and began ceiling demolition to access the affected area. Moisture readings confirmed elevated levels in the ceiling joists and subfloor beneath the hardwood, requiring immediate drying interventions.

The water damage restoration process in Liberty, NJ involved removing wet insulation, setting up drying equipment, and installing containment to protect unaffected areas. Air movers and dehumidifiers were used to dry the structural materials and hardwood flooring, which was closely monitored to prevent cupping or warping. Antimicrobial treatment was applied throughout the Liberty, NJ project to reduce microbial risks associated with saturated wood and drywall. The homeowner's insurance policy covered the ceiling pipe burst and associated restoration work, ensuring full remediation and documentation. This Liberty, NJ water damage case highlights the serious impact of burst ceiling pipes on hardwood flooring and the importance of rapid structural drying and moisture control.
