Job completed for James P. - Lafayette, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: January 9, 2025

Location: Lafayette, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

James contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering a broken pipe in the ceiling of his garage in Lafayette, NJ. Water was steadily dripping from the ceiling, soaking the floor, walls, and items stored in the space. Concerned about the potential for structural damage and mold growth, James sought professional help to contain the issue and mitigate the damage quickly.

Solutions provided:

When the PDQ Restoration team arrived in Lafayette, NJ, they immediately set up containment to prevent the water from spreading further. Using durable plastic sheeting and temporary barriers, they sealed off the garage from the rest of the property to limit additional exposure. High-powered pumps were deployed to extract standing water, and moisture meters were used to evaluate the extent of hidden water damage in the ceiling and walls.

To expedite the drying process, the team strategically placed industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers in the garage. Damaged sections of the ceiling were carefully removed to allow access to the broken pipe and any saturated materials. After the necessary plumbing repairs were completed, antimicrobial treatments were applied to all affected areas, ensuring the garage was fully sanitized and free from mold and bacterial risks.

Throughout the restoration, PDQ Restoration maintained clear communication with James, providing regular updates and moisture readings to ensure the space was completely dry. The team also worked with James’s insurance provider to streamline the claims process. Within four days, James’s Lafayette, NJ garage was restored to its original condition, giving him confidence that the issue was resolved and his home was safe from further complications.
