Michael C. contacted PDQ after a burst pipe caused extensive water damage in the bathroom of his home in Short Hills, NJ. The sudden Water Pipe Break released a significant amount of water, affecting the bathroom floor, drywall, vanity, and adjacent building materials before the water supply could be shut off. In Short Hills, NJ, technicians performed a comprehensive moisture inspection using professional moisture meters to locate hidden water behind walls, beneath the tile flooring, and inside surrounding structural components. Emergency Water Extraction was completed immediately, followed by the installation of commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to begin the Structure Drying process and prevent additional structural damage. Wet insulation and moisture within the wall cavities were evaluated, and all affected areas in Short Hills, NJ were documented with moisture mapping to support the restoration process. Because the damage resulted from a sudden burst pipe, the emergency mitigation and water damage restoration services in Short Hills, NJ were covered by the homeowner's insurance policy.

Over the following several days, PDQ technicians returned to Short Hills, NJ to monitor drying progress, record daily moisture readings, and adjust drying equipment as materials approached acceptable moisture levels. The restoration process included continued Structure Drying, Water Extraction of trapped moisture, drying of framing, subflooring, and bathroom wall cavities, along with inspections for Wet Insulation and hidden moisture that could lead to microbial growth.
