Job completed for Jonathan P. - Hopatcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 28, 2025

Location: Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Jonathan P. in Hopatcong, NJ discovered water damage in his first-floor garage after a leaking water heater slowly released water over several days. The leak caused standing water to accumulate along the perimeter of the garage, soaking into drywall, base plates, and stored items. Our water damage restoration team in Hopatcong, NJ responded by extracting pooled water, removing affected wall sections, and deploying containment barriers to isolate the wet area and prevent moisture migration into adjacent rooms on the first floor. The garage water damage in Hopatcong, NJ required drying behind wall cavities and around the water heater’s base, where microbial activity had already begun to form.

Insurance coverage was confirmed, and the homeowner’s policy covered the full extent of the water damage cleanup and containment process. Technicians in Hopatcong, NJ used HEPA filtration units, dehumidifiers, and directed air movement to dry structural materials and prevent cross-contamination. The leaking water heater was replaced, and moisture readings confirmed successful drying before reconstruction planning began. The water damage in Hopatcong, NJ emphasized the importance of early leak detection and moisture containment in garages, especially when they share walls with finished living areas. All mitigation work was completed with documentation to support the insurance claim and ensure safe reoccupancy of the garage space.
