Job completed for Owain M. - Oakland, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 19, 2024

Location: Oakland, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Owain contacted PDQ Restoration after his finished basement in Oakland, NJ, flooded due to a broken sump pump. The pump failure led to standing water throughout the basement, leaving the area damp and excessively humid. Concerned about potential structural damage and mold growth, Owain sought professional help to address the water issue quickly.

Solutions provided:

PDQ Restoration arrived promptly at Owain's home and started by extracting the standing water from the basement using high-powered pumps. To tackle the remaining moisture, the team set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to lower the humidity levels and ensure thorough drying. They also inspected the walls and flooring to check for any hidden damp spots that could lead to long-term damage if untreated.

During the process, PDQ performed regular moisture checks to confirm that the basement was drying effectively. Once the space was completely moisture-free, they applied antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth. The restoration work took five days, with Owain’s insurance covering most of the cost, leaving him responsible only for the deductible. Thanks to PDQ’s swift action, Owain’s basement was fully dried and safe for use again, with no lingering humidity issues.
