Job completed for James Y. - Madison, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: February 23, 2025

Location: Madison, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

James contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering that his basement in Madison, NJ had flooded due to a burst water supply line. The standing water had seeped into the hardwood flooring, causing it to warp and buckle. Concerned about potential mold growth and structural damage, James knew he needed professional water extraction and drying services to restore his basement as quickly as possible.

Solutions provided:

Our team arrived promptly and conducted a thorough assessment of the water damage. Using high-powered extraction equipment, we removed all standing water from the basement, preventing further saturation of the flooring and walls. Due to extensive water absorption, the hardwood flooring had to be removed to allow for proper drying. We carefully dismantled and disposed of the damaged flooring while using moisture meters to assess the subfloor and surrounding structures for hidden dampness.

To expedite the drying process, we strategically placed industrial-strength dehumidifiers and air movers throughout the basement, ensuring all residual moisture was eliminated. HEPA air scrubbers were also used to improve air quality and prevent mold growth. Once moisture readings confirmed that the space was completely dry, we treated all affected surfaces with antimicrobial solutions to inhibit future mold or bacterial growth.

Within a few days, PDQ Restoration had successfully dried and restored James’s basement in Madison, NJ. We worked with his insurance provider to help cover the cost of the hardwood removal and water damage mitigation. Thanks to our fast and efficient response, James’s basement was left clean, dry, and ready for new flooring installation, giving him peace of mind that his home was fully protected from further damage.
