Job completed for Caleb J. - Montville, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: November 16, 2025

Location: Montville, NJ

Solutions provided:

Caleb J. faced significant water damage in his Montville home after a sudden water pipe break caused by a failed HVAC discharge line resulted in burst pipes behind the living-room wall. The rapid water intrusion saturated drywall, wet insulation, and multiple wood floor sections, triggering fast moisture migration throughout several areas of the Montville property. Because the loss was covered by insurance, water extraction and structural drying in Montville began immediately with thorough documentation for the adjuster. Technicians also uncovered an appliance leak cleanup issue from a malfunctioning refrigerator supply line that added additional moisture to the kitchen. Wood floor water damage required the use of specialized drying mats to reduce cupping and stabilize humidity levels in the Montville home. Moisture mapping and thermal imaging revealed hidden saturation connected to a main water line break, prompting controlled demolition to prevent further deterioration in Montville.


During the restoration phase, the Montville residence underwent aggressive water extraction, high-capacity dehumidification, and targeted structure drying to eliminate deep moisture within framing cavities and subfloor materials. Wet insulation removal became necessary in heavily saturated areas, followed by sanitation procedures to prevent microbial development within the Montville property. Ongoing inspections confirmed that roof leaks were not a contributing factor, though technicians did find lingering moisture beneath certain wood floor sections, extending the drying cycle. Equipment placement in Montville was adjusted daily to ensure all affected materials reached proper dry-standard levels. Detailed documentation—including photos, drying logs, and moisture readings—supported the insurance-covered mitigation process from start to finish. By project completion, the Montville home had fully undergone water damage restoration, including appliance leak cleanup, structural drying, and wood floor stabilization across all impacted areas.
