Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration was called to a Baton Rouge home after a hot water heater valve failure caused a significant water leak in the attic. The leak spread throughout the home, affecting several rooms, and creating an urgent need for professional water damage restoration. Upon arrival, the United Fire & Water team quickly assessed the situation and placed several fans and dehumidifiers to begin removing moisture from the air and preventing further damage to the structure. These efforts were essential in minimizing the long-term effects of the water intrusion and preparing for the next phase of restoration.

Solutions provided:

The team proceeded with the demolition of the affected areas, including the removal of wet insulation and the dropping of the ceiling in the kitchen, living room, and hallway. This step was crucial to allow for thorough drying of the materials and to prevent further moisture buildup in the home. During the process, the team discovered mold growth behind the baseboards in the bathroom. Mold remediation was performed immediately to eliminate any contamination and ensure that the space remained safe for the homeowners. The removal of wet materials and the implementation of drying equipment helped accelerate the drying process.

Finally, the United Fire & Water team used professional-grade drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, to return the residence to a pre-incident moisture level. This drying process is vital to restore the home to its original condition and to prevent future mold growth or structural damage. With the home safely dried and remediated, the homeowner was able to move forward with repairs, knowing that the water damage was fully addressed.
