Completion date: March 1, 2025

Location: Boonton, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Olivia B. contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering a persistent musty odor and visible mold growth in the washroom of her Boonton, NJ home. A hidden broken pipe behind the sink had been slowly leaking, saturating the surrounding walls and cabinetry with moisture. As the damp conditions worsened, mold began to flourish, raising serious concerns about indoor air quality and potential structural damage. Concerned for her family’s health, Olivia reached out to PDQ Restoration for fast and thorough remediation.

Solutions provided:

Once on-site in Boonton, NJ, the PDQ team immediately identified the source of the moisture—a corroded pipe that had been dripping for weeks. After shutting off the water supply and repairing the plumbing issue, the team launched a comprehensive mold damage assessment. Moisture mapping tools and infrared imaging allowed them to detect wet and damp areas within the walls and floorboards. Industrial-grade air scrubbers and negative air pressure systems were then set up to prevent the spread of mold spores throughout the home during remediation.

To eliminate the infestation, PDQ Restoration removed water-damaged materials such as drywall, insulation, and cabinetry affected by mold. Every contaminated surface in the washroom was thoroughly cleaned and treated with EPA-approved antimicrobial agents to ensure the space was fully sanitized. High-powered dehumidifiers and air movers were left running for several days to completely dry out the moisture-laden environment and prevent future mold recurrence. The team paid special attention to humidity control, as elevated levels had contributed to the original mold outbreak.

By the end of the project, Olivia’s home in Boonton, NJ was completely restored. PDQ’s experts ensured that all wet and damp areas were dried and treated, and the entire washroom was left clean and sanitized. With mold growth fully remediated and humidity levels stabilized, Olivia was relieved to return to a safe and healthy living space. Thanks to PDQ Restoration’s professionalism and detailed approach, this Boonton, NJ mold damage emergency was resolved with long-lasting results.
