Why did the customer contact us?


Solutions provided:

Steven B. contacted PDQ after discovering water damage in his Mountain Lakes, NJ home when moisture staining and elevated readings were found in the ceiling and wall assemblies during an inspection. The water damage in Mountain Lakes, NJ was caused by a plumbing pipe leak above the finished ceiling, allowing water to migrate into drywall, insulation, and structural framing. PDQ performed a detailed moisture inspection in the Mountain Lakes, NJ property using moisture meters to identify hidden water intrusion and determine the full scope of the loss. Controlled demolition was completed to access the wet ceiling cavity and expose affected materials impacted by the water pipe break. Wet insulation and compromised drywall were removed to stop continued moisture absorption and prepare the area for Water Extraction. This Mountain Lakes, NJ water damage loss was documented and approved through the homeowner’s insurance as part of a water damage insurance claim.


Following source control, PDQ initiated the water damage restoration process in Mountain Lakes, NJ with professional Structure Drying. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed to dry exposed framing and stabilize moisture levels throughout the Mountain Lakes, NJ residence. Technicians conducted daily moisture monitoring to confirm drying progress and ensure all affected materials reached industry-standard dry goals. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to exposed surfaces as a preventative measure against mold growth following the plumbing leak. Special attention was given to surrounding ceiling and wall areas to ensure no residual moisture remained in the Mountain Lakes, NJ home. The Mountain Lakes, NJ water damage restoration was completed once final moisture readings confirmed the structure was fully dry and ready for reconstruction.
