Job completed for Martin H. - Boonton, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: November 29, 2025

Location: Boonton, NJ

Solutions provided:

Martin H. experienced significant water damage in his Boonton home after a failed main water line caused a rapid basement flood that soaked the carpet and saturated the concrete subfloor beneath it. This Boonton water loss required immediate Water Extraction to stop further damage to the wet insulation, wood framing, and interior contents. The flooded basement presented heavy moisture retention because concrete traps water, making Structure Drying and targeted dehumidification essential. Since the source was a sudden line failure, the cleanup and restoration were covered by insurance, which helped streamline the mitigation process. Throughout the job, our team documented the extent of the Water Pipe Break, moisture readings, and the deterioration patterns commonly seen in Boonton homes with below-grade concrete flooring.

In the second phase of restoration, additional Water Damage Cleanup steps were taken to address trapped moisture beneath tack strips and along the perimeter where water had pooled against the concrete in this Boonton property. Specialized drying mats and high-capacity air movers were deployed to accelerate evaporation from the concrete slab, a frequent requirement in Boonton basement floods. After the saturated carpet and padding were removed, technicians monitored the subfloor daily to prevent secondary issues such as mold growth or lingering humidity pockets. The homeowner’s Boonton basement also required odor control treatments due to prolonged dampness and microbial risk. By the end of the Structure Drying process, the concrete was verified dry through meter readings, allowing the Boonton residence to be prepared for reconstruction without further water intrusion concerns.
