Why did the customer contact us?

Brandon contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering a slow but persistent leak from his water heater, located in a utility closet adjacent to the kitchen of his Mount Olive, NJ home. The leak had likely been dripping for several days, soaking into the surrounding drywall, kitchen cabinets, and laminate flooring. By the time he noticed a musty smell and dampness underfoot, water had already spread beneath the baseboards and into the walls. Worried about hidden moisture and mold, Brandon knew he needed immediate, professional help.

Solutions provided:

PDQ Restoration responded promptly to the Mount Olive, NJ property and began with a full assessment of the water damage. Using moisture meters and thermal imaging, the team mapped out all the wet and damp areas caused by the leaking water heater. Our technicians first shut off the water source and removed the damaged unit to prevent further leakage. Then, using commercial-grade water extraction tools, we removed excess moisture from the kitchen floor, utility closet, and surrounding walls. Dehumidifiers and air movers were placed strategically to eliminate all hidden humidity and moisture behind the cabinets and inside wall cavities.

To ensure the space was clean and safe, PDQ Restoration treated all affected surfaces with antimicrobial agents and deodorized the area to eliminate the lingering musty smell. The kitchen cabinets and adjacent drywall were carefully dried and sanitized, preventing long-term damage and ensuring the environment was safe for daily use. Throughout the restoration, the team monitored humidity levels and documented progress to keep Brandon informed and reassured.

After just a few days, Brandon’s home in Mount Olive, NJ was fully restored. PDQ Restoration also worked directly with his insurance company, helping to streamline the claims process and reduce out-of-pocket costs.
