Job completed for Rachel K. - Short Hills, NJ - Water Damage

Rachel K. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after noticing damp carpet and water staining along the baseboards in her home office in Short Hills, NJ.

Immediate water extraction was completed, followed by lifting sections of carpet to remove wet padding and expose the subfloor for proper drying in Short Hills, NJ. High-powered air movers were strategically placed along the wall and across the carpeted area to accelerate evaporation and prevent further spread of moisture.
