Job completed for Olivia K. -Morris Plains -Water Damage

Completion date: November 17, 2025

Location: Morris Plains, NJ

Solutions provided:

Olivia K. experienced severe water damage in her Morris Plains home after a sudden water pipe break caused extensive flooding throughout the first-floor living areas. The burst pipes saturated drywall, wet insulation, and several zones of wood floor water damage, triggering rapid moisture migration across the Morris Plains property. Because the loss was covered by insurance, technicians began immediate water extraction and structural drying in Morris Plains with full documentation prepared for the adjuster. Additional issues were discovered during inspection, including appliance leak cleanup needs from a leaking dishwasher that introduced even more moisture to adjacent cabinetry. Moisture mapping and thermal imaging identified hidden saturation related to a main water line break, requiring controlled demolition in targeted areas of Morris Plains. Specialized drying mats were deployed to stabilize and flatten cupped flooring affected by prolonged exposure.

During the restoration phase, the Morris Plains residence underwent high-capacity dehumidification, aggressive air movement, and detailed structural drying to eliminate moisture trapped within subfloors and framing cavities. Wet insulation removal was necessary after prolonged saturation from burst pipes, followed by sanitation steps to prevent microbial activity in the Morris Plains home. Technicians monitored daily moisture readings and adjusted equipment to ensure all affected materials reached proper dry-standard thresholds. Additional inspections ruled out roof leaks but confirmed lingering moisture beneath several wood floor sections, extending the targeted drying cycle in Morris Plains. Documentation—including photos, drying logs, and moisture assessments—supported the insurance-covered mitigation work from start to finish. By project completion, the Morris Plains property had fully completed water extraction, structural drying, appliance leak cleanup, and wood floor water damage stabilization across all impacted areas.
