Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Damage recently undertook a crucial water damage restoration project in Baton Rouge, LA, after receiving a referral from Louisiana Leak Detection (www.louisianaleak.com). The issue stemmed from broken lines on a hot water heater located in the attic, which resulted in water spraying across the insulation and drywall. Understanding the urgency of the situation, our skilled team quickly mobilized to assess the extent of the damage and implement effective restoration measures, ensuring the client's home was safe and secure.

Solutions provided:

Upon inspection, the United Fire & Water team confirmed that while the insulation in the attic was thoroughly soaked, the drywall remained intact and without sagging, a sign that structural integrity was mostly preserved. Our first step was to carefully remove the wet insulation to prevent further issues such as mold growth and lingering moisture. We then set up advanced drying equipment to effectively eliminate excess moisture from the attic, creating a dry environment essential for the restoration process.

To further safeguard the home from potential contaminants and mold spores that could be disturbed during mitigation, we placed powerful dehumidifiers and an air scrubber in the attic, as well as in an affected bathroom and bedroom. This comprehensive approach not only addressed the immediate water damage but also ensured high indoor air quality, emphasizing our commitment to thorough and effective restoration practices. At United Fire & Water Damage, we specialize in resolving water damage emergencies promptly, helping homeowners in Baton Rouge reclaim their living spaces and restore peace of mind.
