Lisa M. experienced significant water damage at her home in Boonton, NJ after a sudden water pipe break in the basement caused widespread flooding throughout the lower level. The incident in Boonton began when a corroded copper line failed overnight, saturating drywall, carpeting, and wood framing before the homeowner discovered the leak. Our team performed emergency water extraction, wet insulation removal, and wood floor water damage mitigation to stop further deterioration. Because this was an insurance-covered loss, detailed documentation and moisture mapping were completed to support the claim. Structural drying equipment was placed strategically to stabilize humidity levels and prevent secondary mold growth in the Boonton property. Continuous monitoring ensured that the water-damaged materials in Boonton reached proper drying goals before repairs could begin.
During the restoration phase, the Boonton home required removal of affected flooring, sanitizing of subfloors, and thorough HVAC discharge line inspection to ensure no residual moisture remained. We addressed hidden moisture pockets behind wall cavities using targeted drying systems and completed appliance leak cleanup where the water had migrated unexpectedly. The structure drying process included dehumidification, air movement, and temperature control to restore the building envelope safely. Wet carpet pads and damaged contents were inventoried for the homeowner’s insurance company, streamlining the recovery process for the Boonton residence. Once the drying phase concluded, the property was prepared for reconstruction with a focus on preventing future burst pipes or main water line break issues. By the time work wrapped up, the Boonton home had been fully stabilized and cleared for repairs following comprehensive water damage mitigation.
