Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Damage recently completed a significant water damage restoration project in Baton Rouge, LA, following a referral from Louisiana Leak Detection (www.louisianaleak.com). The homeowner reported a long-term leak from her dishwasher, which raised alarms about potential mold growth in the lower kitchen cabinets and baseboards. Understanding the urgency of addressing water damage and mold concerns, our experienced team swiftly mobilized to assess and mitigate the situation, ensuring a safe environment for the client.

Solutions provided:

Upon inspection, the United Fire & Water team performed necessary demolition in the kitchen to access and assess the affected areas. We removed all wet and compromised materials, including lower cabinets that showed signs of microbial growth due to prolonged exposure to moisture. To prevent further damage and ensure thorough remediation, we executed a flood cut on an exterior wall, removing damaged drywall and insulation that had absorbed water. This careful approach allowed us to eliminate any hidden sources of moisture and potential contaminants.

After removing the damaged materials, we meticulously cleaned the floor, framing, sill, and studs with an antimicrobial disinfectant to kill any lingering mold spores and prevent future issues. Our team ensured that all remaining structures were dried thoroughly, utilizing advanced drying equipment to extract moisture effectively. With these steps completed, we prepared the area for repair, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing that their kitchen was restored to a safe and healthy condition. At United Fire & Water Damage, we are committed to providing top-notch water damage restoration services in Baton Rouge, helping homeowners recover from leaks and ensuring their properties remain safe and habitable.
