Job completed for Christopher M. - Kinnelon, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 18, 2026

Location: Kinnelon, NJ

Solutions provided:

Christopher M. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering water damage in the laundry closet of his home in Kinnelon, NJ. The issue began when a washing machine supply hose developed a sudden leak, allowing water to spill onto the laundry room floor and seep beneath the flooring materials. As the water spread across the subfloor, it created elevated moisture levels in the plywood floor system and the lower wall cavities surrounding the laundry hookups. Our technicians arrived at the property in Kinnelon, NJ and performed a detailed moisture inspection using professional moisture detection equipment to evaluate the extent of the water intrusion. Moisture readings confirmed that the subfloor and lower wall materials in the Kinnelon, NJ laundry area had absorbed water from the appliance leak. Because the water damage resulted from a sudden washing machine hose failure, the water damage cleanup and restoration work in Kinnelon, NJ was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy.

The PDQ restoration team began the water damage mitigation process in Kinnelon, NJ by removing sections of the damaged flooring to expose the saturated subfloor and allow proper airflow during drying. Commercial air movers and industrial dehumidifiers were strategically installed throughout the laundry area to accelerate evaporation and support the structural drying process in Kinnelon, NJ. Technicians also set up targeted drying equipment around the appliance hookups to address moisture trapped behind the wall and beneath the washing machine connections. Antimicrobial disinfecting treatments were applied to the exposed subfloor and lower wall materials to help prevent mold growth and structural mold contamination following the water intrusion. Moisture levels were monitored daily using professional moisture meters to verify the progress of the drying process throughout the Kinnelon, NJ home. After several days of controlled structural drying and environmental stabilization, the affected materials returned to safe moisture levels, successfully completing the water damage restoration project in Kinnelon, NJ.
