Job completed for Steven M. - Rockaway, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 13, 2026

Location: Rockaway, NJ

Solutions provided:

Steven M. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering water damage inside the attached garage of his home in Rockaway, NJ. The issue began when a plumbing line running through the garage wall developed a slow leak, allowing water to seep into the wall cavity and along the concrete garage floor. Over time, the moisture spread into the wall framing and surrounding structural materials, creating elevated humidity levels and visible water staining along the lower portion of the garage wall in Rockaway, NJ. Our technicians arrived promptly at the property in Rockaway, NJ and performed a comprehensive moisture inspection using professional moisture detection equipment to determine the extent of the water intrusion. Sections of drywall were removed to expose the wall cavity and evaluate the condition of the wood framing and insulation. Because the water damage resulted from a sudden plumbing pipe failure, the water damage cleanup and restoration work in Rockaway, NJ was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy.

The PDQ restoration team began the water damage mitigation process in Rockaway, NJ by establishing containment and exposing the affected wall structure to allow proper airflow during the drying phase. Commercial air movers and industrial dehumidifiers were strategically installed throughout the garage area to accelerate evaporation and support the structural drying process in Rockaway, NJ. Technicians carefully monitored moisture levels in the wall studs, sheathing, and surrounding materials to ensure the water damage in Rockaway, NJ was being fully addressed. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to exposed building materials to help prevent mold growth and structural mold development following the moisture intrusion. Daily moisture readings were recorded to verify progress as the drying equipment continued operating. After several days of controlled structural drying and moisture monitoring, the affected garage wall and surrounding materials returned to normal moisture levels, completing the water damage cleanup and restoration project in Rockaway, NJ.
