Why did the customer contact us?


Solutions provided:

Michael R. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering extensive water damage in his Wharton home caused by a sudden water pipe break in the basement. The water pipe break led to rapid flooding that affected multiple rooms, soaking drywall, wet insulation, and causing wood floor water damage throughout the property in Wharton. This Wharton water damage loss occurred when an aging main water line failed, allowing pressurized water to spread before the shutoff valve was reached. The water damage cleanup in Wharton required immediate water extraction to prevent further structural damage and microbial growth. Our team identified moisture migration into wall cavities and subflooring, which is common with burst pipes and hidden plumbing leaks in Wharton homes. The water damage restoration work was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy, allowing the drying and repair process to begin without delay.


Once the water damage source was resolved, our Wharton technicians began professional water extraction using high-capacity pumps and industrial vacuums. Structure drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, was strategically placed to dry wet insulation, affected framing, and wood floor water damage areas throughout the Wharton residence. Special attention was given to HVAC discharge line repair and moisture-prone zones to ensure complete water damage restoration in Wharton. Daily moisture readings confirmed proper drying conditions and helped prevent long-term issues such as warped flooring or compromised building materials. Appliance leak cleanup protocols were also applied in nearby areas where residual moisture was discovered during inspection. This comprehensive Wharton water damage job addressed both visible damage and hidden moisture to fully restore the property after the water pipe break.
