Job completed for Michael R. - Boonton, NJ - Mold Remediation

Completion date: February 15, 2026

Location: Boonton, NJ

Solutions provided:

Michael R. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering visible black mold growth and musty odors in the ceiling cavity of his Boonton home. The mold issue in Boonton was traced to a long-term roof leak that allowed moisture to saturate the attic insulation and drywall, creating ideal conditions for structural mold colonization. Water intrusion from the compromised roofing system led to wet insulation and elevated humidity levels, which went unnoticed until staining and microbial growth appeared. Our Mold Inspections & Remediation team in Boonton performed a comprehensive mold inspection, moisture mapping, and air quality testing to assess the extent of contamination. The inspection confirmed the presence of black mold remediation needs affecting the attic joists, ceiling drywall, and insulation. A detailed remediation protocol was developed for the Boonton property, including containment setup, HEPA air filtration, and negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination throughout the home.

During the mold remediation process in Boonton, contaminated insulation and smoke-damaged drywall-like materials impacted by microbial growth were carefully removed and bagged for disposal. Technicians conducted HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial application, and structural drying to eliminate excess moisture and prevent future mold growth in the Boonton residence. All exposed framing was cleaned and treated to address structural mold and inhibit regrowth, followed by post-remediation verification to ensure proper clearance levels. Detailed documentation, including moisture readings and a Sample Mold Test PDF report, was provided for the homeowner’s records and insurance claim. Fortunately, the mold remediation project in Boonton was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy due to the sudden and accidental roof leak. The Boonton property was left clean, dry, and ready for reconstruction following professional mold inspections, testing & estimates, and certified black mold remediation services.
