Job completed for Michael R. - Pompton Lakes, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: December 8, 2025

Location: Pompton Lakes, NJ

Solutions provided:

Michael R. reported a residential water damage emergency at his home in Pompton Lakes after discovering widespread moisture throughout the lower level of the property. The water loss in Pompton Lakes was caused by a burst pipe along the main water supply line, which released a continuous flow of water before the shutoff was located. This water pipe break resulted in standing water, wet insulation, and noticeable wood floor water damage extending into finished living areas. PDQ crews responded in Pompton Lakes to perform immediate water extraction, removing excess water from flooring, baseboards, and affected structural materials. Commercial drying equipment was installed to begin controlled structure drying and reduce elevated humidity levels. The water damage restoration project in Pompton Lakes was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy, and documentation was prepared to support the water damage insurance claim.

Following extraction, technicians conducted detailed moisture mapping in Pompton Lakes to identify hidden water behind walls and beneath subflooring. Select materials were removed to address trapped moisture and ensure proper drying of framing components. The scope of work also included checking for appliance leak cleanup needs and evaluating nearby plumbing to prevent future main water line breaks. Daily monitoring visits were completed in Pompton Lakes to track drying progress and adjust equipment placement as needed. Once moisture levels returned to acceptable standards, drying equipment was removed and the structure was stabilized. This water damage job in Pompton Lakes addressed all affected areas in accordance with industry guidelines for water damage cleanup after a burst pipe.
