Job completed for Rachel D. - Millington, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 6, 2026

Location: Millington, NJ

Solutions provided:

Rachel D. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering elevated moisture readings behind the tiled shower wall in her Millington, NJ home. The water damage was caused by a slow plumbing leak from a deteriorated shower valve connection that allowed water to seep behind the tile and into the wall cavity. In Millington, NJ, hidden bathroom leaks like this often go unnoticed until moisture meters reveal high relative moisture levels and staining along grout lines. Our team arrived promptly at the Millington, NJ property to conduct a comprehensive moisture inspection using advanced detection equipment to identify saturated drywall, wet insulation, and compromised framing. Although visible standing water was not present, the Millington, NJ home required targeted Water Damage Restoration and controlled Structure Drying to address trapped moisture. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the water damage in Millington, NJ, including leak detection, demolition of affected materials, and professional dry-out services.

Technicians in Millington, NJ carefully removed sections of tile and drywall to expose the damp wall cavity and prevent further deterioration. High-powered air movers and a commercial-grade dehumidifier were strategically installed within the Millington, NJ bathroom to reduce humidity and accelerate evaporation inside the structural components. Daily moisture readings were documented to ensure the wall studs and subfloor in the Millington, NJ home returned to acceptable industry-standard levels. Preventative antimicrobial treatments were applied to reduce the risk of mold growth commonly associated with prolonged bathroom water damage. Throughout the Water Damage Restoration process in Millington, NJ, detailed drying logs and photo documentation were maintained for insurance claim support. The project concluded once the Millington, NJ property was fully dried, sanitized, and prepared for reconstruction and tile replacement.
