Complete Water Damage Recovery

Emergency water damage restoration in Fort Lee after a burst pipe caused extensive damage to two floors. Full extraction, structural drying, and complete rebuild of affected areas.

Location

Fort Lee, NJ

The Story

A burst second-floor supply line caused water to cascade through the ceiling into the first floor, damaging drywall, hardwood flooring, and cabinetry in both the kitchen and living room. Our team arrived within hours for emergency water extraction, set up industrial dehumidifiers and air movers for structural drying, and applied antimicrobial treatment. Over the following weeks, we replaced damaged drywall, refinished hardwood floors, and rebuilt a section of kitchen cabinetry. The homeowner's insurance covered the full restoration.

Key Materials

Project Challenge
