Job completed for Kevin T - Montclair, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: December 14, 2025

Location: Montclair, NJ

Solutions provided:

Kevin T. contacted PDQ after discovering widespread water damage in his Montclair home caused by a sudden burst pipe connected to a second-floor bathroom supply line. The Water Pipe Break released a large volume of clean water that traveled into ceilings, walls, and lower-level living areas, impacting drywall, wet insulation, and wood floor materials throughout the Montclair property. Emergency water damage cleanup began promptly with professional Water Extraction to remove standing water and slow moisture migration. Technicians performed detailed moisture mapping to locate hidden water intrusion, which is common in Montclair water damage losses. The cause of the property loss was confirmed as a Burst Pipe related to aging plumbing components, and the water damage restoration was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy. Quick response helped minimize structural water damage inside the Montclair residence.

The Montclair water damage restoration process included high-powered air movers, commercial dehumidifiers, and controlled Structure Drying to stabilize affected building materials. Wet insulation was removed, and selective demolition was completed to access moisture trapped behind walls and beneath flooring at the Montclair home. Crews inspected for additional contributing factors such as appliance leak cleanup, HVAC discharge line repair, and roof leaks, ruling out secondary sources of water damage in Montclair. Ongoing moisture monitoring ensured proper drying of framing, subfloors, and wood floor water damage areas. All documentation was coordinated with the insurance adjuster as part of this Montclair water damage insurance claim. Final drying verification confirmed the Montclair property was ready for reconstruction following completed water extraction and drying.
