Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration responded to a call from a Baton Rouge homeowner dealing with significant water damage caused by a slab leak. The homeowner reported that the leak had been ongoing for nearly three weeks, resulting in excess water throughout the home. A team from United Fire & Water quickly assessed the situation and began mitigating the water damage by placing air movers, an air scrubber, and a dehumidifier in the affected areas. This equipment was crucial for drying the air and preventing further damage to the structure, which had been compromised by the extended exposure to water.

Solutions provided:

Due to the extended duration of the leak, standing water had caused widespread moisture damage, necessitating a 2-foot flood cut throughout the affected areas to remove wet drywall. As the demolition continued in the living room, the team discovered an extensive infestation of mice and rats, along with severe termite damage. To address this, the United Fire & Water team carefully removed foam board insulation and used a HEPA vacuum along the sill plate to remove debris from inside the exterior wall cavities. This thorough cleanup was necessary to ensure that all contaminants, including rodents and pests, were removed, and to prepare the home for the next steps in restoration.

In addition to addressing the water damage and pests, United Fire & Water performed mold mitigation processes to ensure that mold spores did not take hold in the home. The team also helped the homeowner identify termite damage and recommended working with a specialized remediation company to handle the repairs. Through their expertise in water damage, pest control, and mold remediation, United Fire & Water was able to restore the home in Baton Rouge to a safe and healthy condition, ensuring that all issues were addressed thoroughly and professionally.
