Job completed for Brian S.- East Hanover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 4, 2026

Location: East Hanover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Brian S. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after a Burst Pipe flooded the small bathroom of his East Hanover, NJ home, causing immediate water damage to the flooring, vanity base, and adjacent wall cavities. The loss occurred when a frozen water supply line split overnight, resulting in continuous water flow that saturated the subfloor and seeped beneath the tile. In East Hanover, NJ, Burst Pipes during cold weather frequently lead to extensive Water Damage Restoration needs if not addressed quickly. Our team responded to the East Hanover, NJ property to perform emergency Water Extraction, removing standing water and stabilizing the affected bathroom area. Moisture meters and infrared thermal imaging were used throughout the East Hanover, NJ home to identify hidden moisture behind walls and under the vanity cabinetry. The homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage and Burst Pipe repairs in East Hanover, NJ, including mitigation, dry-out services, and necessary structural restoration.

Following initial extraction, technicians in East Hanover, NJ removed damaged baseboards and drilled targeted access points to facilitate comprehensive Structure Drying within the wall cavities. High-velocity air movers and a commercial LGR dehumidifier were strategically placed in the East Hanover, NJ bathroom to reduce humidity levels and prevent secondary damage such as mold growth and wet insulation. Daily moisture readings were documented to ensure the subfloor and framing members were returning to industry-standard dry conditions. Special attention was given to preventing long-term issues like wood floor water damage in adjacent areas of the East Hanover, NJ residence. Throughout the Water Damage Restoration process in East Hanover, NJ, detailed documentation was maintained for the insurance claim, including photos and drying logs. The project concluded once the East Hanover, NJ property was fully dried, sanitized, and prepared for reconstruction following the Burst Pipe incident.
