Job completed for Olivia J. - Kinnelon, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: November 6, 2025

Location: Kinnelon, NJ

Solutions provided:

Olivia J. experienced significant water damage in her Kinnelon, NJ home after a sudden HVAC discharge line failure caused continuous leakage inside an upstairs wall cavity. The Kinnelon property quickly developed saturated 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, documentation, and photos to support the claim. Crews identified secondary migration into the hallway and performed appliance leak cleanup where water had traveled beneath built-ins. Structure drying began with high-capacity dehumidifiers and air movers strategically placed throughout the Kinnelon residence. Continuous readings ensured that all affected materials in Kinnelon trended toward proper drying goals before demolition decisions were finalized.

During the remainder of the mitigation process, technicians opened targeted wall sections to address hidden moisture pockets commonly found in older Kinnelon homes with layered construction. Wet insulation was removed, subfloors were sanitized, and specialized drying mats were applied to salvage sections of the wood flooring wherever possible. Additional checks were performed on the main water line to ensure no secondary breaks contributed to the loss, a precaution frequently taken in Kinnelon water damage cases. Structure drying and dehumidification continued until all materials reached acceptable moisture levels verified by industry standards. Content inventory and loss documentation were completed for the homeowner’s insurance carrier, streamlining the restoration plan for the Kinnelon property. Once all drying goals were met, the Kinnelon home was fully stabilized and ready for reconstruction following comprehensive water extraction and mitigation.
