Job completed for Anthony L. - Wayne, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 4, 2026

Location: Wayne, NJ

Solutions provided:

Anthony L. reached out to PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering severe ceiling water damage in his Wayne, NJ home caused by a roof leak during a heavy rainstorm. Water infiltrated through compromised roofing materials and saturated the attic insulation, eventually seeping into the ceiling drywall below. By the time visible staining and cracking appeared, the ceiling in the Wayne, NJ property had absorbed significant moisture, leading to sagging drywall and partial collapse. Our team responded quickly to Wayne, NJ to perform emergency water mitigation, including removal of compromised ceiling materials and immediate moisture mapping. High moisture readings confirmed wet insulation, soaked wooden joists, and spreading water damage that required professional water extraction and structure drying. The homeowner in Wayne, NJ filed a water damage insurance claim, and the roof leak water damage restoration was covered by insurance.

After stabilizing the affected areas in Wayne, NJ, our technicians set up commercial air movers and industrial dehumidifiers to dry the exposed framing and prevent secondary mold growth. All damaged drywall and wet insulation were removed to accelerate the drying process and eliminate hidden moisture pockets within the ceiling cavity. Detailed documentation and daily moisture checks ensured the Wayne, NJ property met proper drying standards before reconstruction began. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to protect the structural components and reduce the risk of mold remediation concerns following the roof leak. This Wayne, NJ water damage restoration project required controlled demolition, debris removal, and comprehensive structural drying to fully restore the home after storm-related water intrusion. The Wayne, NJ homeowner’s prompt response minimized further flood damage and allowed the water extraction and ceiling repair process to proceed efficiently.
