Job completed for Daniel R. - Summit, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 3, 2026

Location: Summit, NJ

Solutions provided:

Daniel R. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering significant water damage in his Summit, NJ basement caused by a main water line break. The sudden pipe failure released a large volume of water, saturating structural framing, wet insulation, and finished flooring before the water supply could be shut off. When our team arrived in Summit, NJ, we immediately began emergency water extraction and moisture mapping to assess the full extent of the flood damage. Elevated moisture readings in the wooden support beams and subfloor indicated deep penetration requiring professional structure drying and dehumidification. In Summit, NJ, water damage from a burst pipe often spreads behind walls and under flooring, making thermal imaging and invasive inspection critical to prevent hidden mold growth. The homeowner in Summit, NJ filed a water damage insurance claim, and the mitigation and restoration services were covered by insurance.

Following the initial water removal in Summit, NJ, commercial air movers and industrial dehumidifiers were strategically installed to dry structural components and prevent secondary damage. Our technicians documented daily moisture readings to ensure the wood framing, sill plates, and subflooring returned to acceptable drying standards. Portions of damaged drywall and wet insulation were removed to accelerate the drying process and eliminate the risk of mold remediation issues in the Summit, NJ property. Antimicrobial treatments were applied as part of the comprehensive water mitigation protocol to sanitize affected areas after the main water line break. This Summit, NJ water damage restoration project required coordinated demolition, debris removal, and controlled drying to fully stabilize the basement environment. The Summit, NJ homeowner’s quick response to the burst pipe and prompt insurance claim allowed the water extraction, flood cleanup, and complete structural drying process to proceed efficiently and thoroughly.
