Completion date: January 28, 2025

Location: Somerville, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Michael in Somerville, NJ, contacted PDQ Restoration after a severe storm caused his basement to flood with several inches of water. The water had not only soaked the floors but also threatened stored items, walls, and the electrical systems in the space. Concerned about the long-term impact of water damage and potential mold growth, Michael sought immediate assistance to address the situation.

Solutions provided:

Our team quickly arrived at Michael’s Somerville, NJ home and conducted a thorough assessment of the flooded basement. Using high-powered water extraction equipment, we removed all standing water from the basement floor. Once the visible water was cleared, we deployed industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to target hidden moisture in walls, flooring, and storage areas, ensuring a comprehensive drying process.

To prevent mold and bacteria from developing, we applied antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces, including the walls, baseboards, and flooring. We also evaluated and salvaged Michael’s stored belongings, cleaning and drying items that could be restored while documenting any irreparable damage for his insurance claim. Regular moisture readings were taken throughout the process to confirm the basement was drying effectively and evenly.

In just three days, PDQ Restoration restored Michael’s basement in Somerville, NJ, to a clean, dry, and safe condition. Our team provided detailed reports and documentation to streamline his insurance claim, helping him recover the costs of the restoration. Thanks to PDQ’s expertise and prompt response, Michael’s basement was fully protected against future water damage, allowing him to resume his normal routine with peace of mind.
