Completion date: January 22, 2022

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration responded to a water damage emergency in Baton Rouge when a homeowner reported a leak in their kitchen, likely originating from the sink. The water had spread under the cabinets and flooring, affecting not only the kitchen but also the living room and dining room. Upon arriving at the property, a United Fire & Water representative quickly assessed the situation, using moisture readings and infrared scans to determine the extent of the water damage. Based on these findings, the team set up specialized drying equipment to remove the moisture and prevent further damage to the home.

Solutions provided:

To effectively address the water intrusion, the United Fire & Water team placed dehumidifiers and air scrubbers throughout the affected areas, including the kitchen, living room, and dining room. These devices helped to control moisture levels in the air and reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth. A containment perimeter was also set up around the kitchen and living room area to facilitate plumbing repairs, as the plumber needed to break through concrete to fix the underlying issue. Additionally, the lower cabinetry in the kitchen was carefully removed to allow access to the affected areas and ensure proper drying.

While the plumbing repairs were being completed, United Fire & Water left a negative air machine and air scrubber on-site to maintain air quality and further assist in mold mitigation. This step ensured that the air remained free of contaminants and mold spores while the plumbing team performed their work. Once the plumbing issue was resolved, the home was ready for restoration and repairs. United Fire & Water's thorough and professional approach to water damage restoration in Baton Rouge helped the homeowner safely restore their property and minimize the risk of long-term damage.
