Job completed for Steven P. - Wayne, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: December 15, 2025

Location: Wayne, NJ

Solutions provided:

Steven P. contacted PDQ after discovering extensive water damage inside his Wayne home caused by a sudden main water line break in the basement. The Water Pipe Break released a large volume of clean water that spread quickly, saturating drywall, wet insulation, and causing wood floor water damage throughout the Wayne property. Emergency water damage cleanup began immediately with professional Water Extraction to remove standing water and prevent further migration. Detailed moisture mapping identified hidden water intrusion behind walls and under flooring, which is common in Wayne water damage situations. The cause of loss was confirmed as a Burst Pipe connected to the main water supply, and the water damage restoration was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy. Rapid response helped reduce long-term structural water damage inside the Wayne residence.

The Wayne water damage restoration process included commercial-grade air movers, dehumidifiers, and monitored Structure Drying to stabilize affected building materials. Wet insulation was removed, and selective demolition was performed to access moisture trapped within wall cavities at the Wayne home. Technicians inspected for additional issues such as appliance leak cleanup, HVAC discharge line repair, and possible roof leaks, ruling out secondary sources of water damage in Wayne. Ongoing moisture monitoring ensured proper drying of framing, subfloors, and wood flooring materials. All documentation was coordinated with the insurance carrier as part of this Wayne water damage insurance claim. Final drying verification confirmed the Wayne property was ready for reconstruction following completed water extraction and structural drying.
