Why did the customer contact us?

In Mandeville, LA, a recent water damage restoration job was initiated after a roofer inadvertently put a nail through a pipe close to the ceiling, causing water to spray into the attic. The homeowner quickly recognized the severity of the situation and reached out to United Fire & Water for immediate assistance. Upon arrival, our team assessed the damage and began by removing the affected insulation in the attic space. It was determined that further action was required, including removing some drywall and a partial shower surround to fully extract the insulation from the exterior wall.

Solutions provided:

To stabilize the environment in Mandeville, we set up one dehumidifier and two axial air movers in the bathroom area while preparing for the demolition process. Our team conducted thorough checks of all moisture points and atmospheric readings to ensure accurate monitoring of the situation. While the ceiling remained dry, the drywall still registered at 100% moisture. However, upon checking the wall cavity, we noted a low moisture reading, indicating that the situation was under control. Our meticulous approach ensured that we were addressing the water damage effectively.

As the restoration progressed, we observed that the bathroom was drying exceptionally well. With only a couple more days of drying time anticipated, we adjusted the axial air movers to target areas that were still wet. United Fire & Water is committed to providing high-quality water damage restoration services in Mandeville, LA, ensuring that homes are restored to their original condition safely and efficiently.
