Job completed for Denise H. - Franklin, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 24, 2025

Location: Franklin, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Denise H. in Franklin, NJ experienced a flooded unfinished basement and crawl space after a sump pump failure during a heavy rainstorm. With the pump inoperable, groundwater quickly accumulated, spreading across the concrete floor and into the adjacent crawl space. The water damaged stored contents, created high humidity levels, and threatened wood framing and insulation in the crawl area. Our water damage restoration team in Franklin, NJ responded with emergency water extraction, content removal, and targeted drying procedures for both the basement and crawl space. Standing water was removed, and antimicrobial treatment was applied to all affected surfaces to prevent mold development.

The homeowner’s insurance provider covered the water damage mitigation services, which included crawl space drying and basement cleanup. Our technicians in Franklin, NJ used commercial dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, and directed airflow to reduce moisture levels in confined spaces. Moisture mapping confirmed saturation in key structural areas, especially in corners and low-lying zones of the crawl space. The flooded basement and crawl space in Franklin, NJ were dried according to IICRC standards, with full documentation provided for insurance claims. This sump pump failure event in Franklin, NJ highlights the risks of water intrusion in unfinished basements and the importance of proactive water removal and crawl space restoration.
