Job completed for Mark R. - Chatham, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: January 29, 2025

Location: Chatham

Why did the customer contact us?

Mark contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering that his dishwasher had leaked overnight, flooding his kitchen in Chatham, NJ. Water had pooled across the hardwood floor, seeped under the cabinets, and spread to the baseboards. Concerned about potential warping, mold growth, and long-term damage to his kitchen, Mark needed immediate professional help to extract the water and dry out the space before it got worse.

Solutions provided:

PDQ Restoration arrived at Mark’s Chatham, NJ, home within hours and quickly assessed the damage. Using high-powered extraction equipment, the team removed standing water from the kitchen floor to prevent further absorption. Industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers were then strategically placed to dry out the hardwood, cabinetry, and walls. Thermal imaging was used to detect hidden moisture beneath the floorboards, ensuring that no damp spots were left behind.

To prevent mold and bacteria growth, PDQ Restoration applied antimicrobial treatments to all affected surfaces, including under the cabinets and along the baseboards. The team continued monitoring humidity levels over the next few days to confirm that the kitchen was fully dry before beginning any repairs. Once the drying process was complete, they refinished the hardwood floors and repaired minor water damage to the lower sections of the cabinets.

Thanks to PDQ Restoration’s fast and thorough response, Mark’s kitchen in Chatham, NJ, was fully restored to its original condition. The team also assisted with his insurance claim, helping to reduce his out-of-pocket costs. With his home back to normal, Mark could once again use his kitchen without concerns about lingering water damage or mold growth.
