Job completed for Emily R. - Rockaway, NJ- Water Damage

Completion date: November 29, 2025

Location: Rockaway, NJ

Solutions provided:

Emily R. dealt with severe water damage in her Rockaway, NJ home after a sudden burst pipe in an upstairs bathroom sent water cascading through the ceiling overnight. The Rockaway property sustained extensive saturation to drywall, framing, and insulation, prompting immediate water extraction to stop further structural deterioration. Because this was an insurance-covered loss, thorough moisture mapping and detailed documentation were completed for the adjuster. Technicians removed wet insulation, performed wood floor water damage mitigation, and inspected nearby HVAC discharge lines for hidden leaks. Advanced drying equipment was placed throughout the Rockaway residence to stabilize humidity and prevent secondary mold growth. Continuous monitoring ensured all affected building materials in Rockaway reached target moisture levels before reconstruction planning began.

During the mitigation phase, the Rockaway home required appliance leak cleanup in adjacent rooms where water had migrated, along with removal of damaged carpet padding and wet baseboards. Targeted drying systems were used inside wall cavities to address moisture that had pooled behind structural components. The team conducted water extraction, structure drying, and sanitizing of the subfloor to prevent long-term odor or microbial concerns. Inventory of damaged contents was completed to support the homeowner’s insurance claim and streamline next steps for the Rockaway restoration process. Mitigation crews also verified the main water line to ensure no secondary breaks contributed to the loss, a common precaution in Rockaway homes with aging plumbing. Once drying goals were achieved, the property was fully stabilized and ready for repairs following comprehensive water damage restoration.
