Job completed for Mark E. - Hopatcong, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: December 7, 2025

Location: Hopatcong, NJ

Solutions provided:

Mark E. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after noticing visible water damage along the lower walls of his home in Hopatcong, NJ. The water damage in Hopatcong, NJ was caused by a slow plumbing leak behind the wall that allowed moisture to wick upward into drywall, baseboards, and adjacent flooring. Over time, the hidden leak led to staining, wet drywall, and concerns for trapped moisture and potential mold growth. Emergency water damage services were needed at the Hopatcong, NJ property to identify the source and prevent further deterioration. Technicians performed moisture mapping and confirmed elevated readings behind the finished wall surfaces. The homeowner filed a water damage insurance claim, and the loss in Hopatcong, NJ was documented for insurance coverage.

The water damage restoration process in Hopatcong, NJ included controlled removal of affected baseboards and lower drywall to expose damp materials. Targeted Water Extraction and Structure Drying equipment were installed to address moisture trapped within wall cavities and surrounding building materials. Air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed to dry framing and prevent secondary damage. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to reduce the risk of mold growth following the prolonged water exposure. Ongoing moisture checks were performed to verify proper drying throughout the affected area. Once complete, the Hopatcong, NJ water damage cleanup stabilized the home and met industry standards for residential water damage restoration.
