Job completed for Brian J. - Parsippany, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: March 1, 2025

Location: Parsippany, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Brian J. contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering that the water heater in the unfinished basement of his Parsippany, NJ home had burst overnight. When he went downstairs in the morning, he found several inches of standing water covering the concrete floor and soaking storage boxes, tools, and other personal items. Concerned about the wet conditions and rising humidity, Brian knew immediate water extraction and drying were critical to prevent long-term damage and mold growth.

Solutions provided:

PDQ Restoration arrived promptly at the Parsippany, NJ home and got to work extracting the standing water using commercial-grade pumps and wet vacuums. The team assessed the full extent of the damage, noting areas of damp insulation, saturated contents, and rising humidity levels throughout the space. To prevent the spread of moisture and potential bacterial growth, they set up industrial dehumidifiers and high-speed air movers to aggressively dry out the wet basement environment.

As the drying process continued, PDQ technicians carefully sorted through the basement contents. Salvageable items were cleaned, dried, and moved to a safe area, while unsalvageable belongings were documented for insurance purposes and properly disposed of. All affected surfaces were treated with antimicrobial agents to ensure the space was fully sanitized. Throughout the multi-day drying process, moisture readings were taken to monitor progress and ensure the basement was brought back to a stable, dry condition.

Thanks to PDQ’s fast and thorough response, Brian’s unfinished basement in Parsippany, NJ was fully restored. The once wet and humid space was left clean, dry, and free of moisture. PDQ’s expert service helped another Parsippany, NJ homeowner avoid further damage and regain peace of mind after a stressful water heater emergency.
