Christopher L. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering active water damage affecting the ceiling and structural framing of his home in Mendham, NJ. The loss was caused by a leaking drain line hidden above the finished ceiling, allowing water to saturate drywall, insulation, and surrounding wood framing. Moisture intrusion went unnoticed until staining and sagging ceiling materials became visible, indicating prolonged water exposure. Our team responded quickly to the property in Mendham, NJ to begin emergency water damage cleanup and controlled demolition. Affected ceiling drywall was removed to expose the source of the leak and access trapped moisture within the ceiling cavity. This water damage restoration project in Mendham, NJ was covered by insurance, and detailed documentation was prepared for the water damage insurance claim.


Following demolition, technicians in Mendham, NJ performed thorough water extraction and structural drying of the exposed framing and ceiling areas. Air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically installed to address wet insulation and moisture migration caused by the ceiling leak. Daily moisture monitoring ensured proper drying and reduced the risk of mold growth associated with overhead water damage. The scope of work in Mendham, NJ included cleaning and treating affected surfaces after the plumbing issue was resolved. Containment barriers were maintained to protect unaffected living areas during the drying process. This comprehensive water damage mitigation and structure drying service restored safe conditions to the home in Mendham, NJ following the unexpected water loss.
