Job completed for Kevin S. - Whippany, NJ - Sewage Damage

Completion date: December 21, 2025

Location: Whippany, NJ

Solutions provided:

Kevin S. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering sewage damage in the basement of his home in Whippany, NJ caused by a sudden wastewater backup. The sewage damage in Whippany, NJ originated from a compromised main sewer line that allowed raw sewage to flow into the finished basement area. Category 3 contaminated water impacted carpeted flooring, wall base sections, and wall cavities, creating an immediate biohazard condition. Emergency Sewage Removal was required to address health risks and stop the spread of contamination throughout the Whippany, NJ basement. Technicians performed controlled demolition to access affected wall sections and remove sewage-soaked materials. The homeowner filed a sewage damage insurance claim, and the loss in Whippany, NJ was documented for insurance coverage.

The sewage cleanup process in Whippany, NJ included removal of contaminated carpet padding, disposal of affected insulation, and detailed cleaning of exposed framing. A full disinfecting service with antimicrobial and biohazard-grade cleaning agents was completed to address bacteria and pathogens associated with sewage backups. Air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed to support structure drying and moisture control within the Whippany, NJ basement. Odor control measures were implemented to neutralize persistent sewage odors during the dry-out phase. Moisture readings and sanitation logs were maintained throughout the sewage damage restoration process for insurance compliance. Once completed, the Whippany, NJ basement was stabilized and cleared in accordance with industry standards for sewage removal and biohazard clean-up.
