Job completed for Hannah S. - Dover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: November 29, 2025

Location: Dover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Hannah S. experienced major water damage at her Dover, NJ residence after a sudden water pipe break in the kitchen wall released a continuous flow that spread into the dining room and basement. The incident in Dover caused widespread saturation of drywall, wet insulation, and wood floor water damage that required immediate water extraction to prevent structural deterioration. Because this was an insurance-covered loss, technicians performed detailed moisture mapping and documentation to support the claim. Crews removed soaked insulation, inspected the HVAC discharge line for additional leaks, and began structure drying with dehumidifiers and air movers. The Dover home needed rapid stabilization to prevent secondary mold development in concealed spaces. Continuous monitoring ensured all affected materials in Dover dried within acceptable industry standards before demolition decisions were made.

During the remainder of mitigation, the Dover property required appliance leak cleanup where water had migrated beneath cabinetry and into utility areas. Targeted wall cavity drying was used to address moisture trapped behind structural components, a common issue in older Dover homes with plaster finishes. Wood floor water damage was mitigated through specialized drying mats designed to salvage as much of the flooring as possible. Technicians sanitized subfloors, removed damaged carpet padding, and verified that the main water line break did not cause additional hidden leaks. Content inventory and photo documentation were completed for the homeowner’s insurance carrier to streamline the restoration process. By the time drying goals were met, the Dover home was fully stabilized and ready for reconstruction following comprehensive water extraction and structure drying.
