Job completed for Sledge- water damage restoration

Completion date: March 26, 2024

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire and Water recently responded to a major water damage emergency caused by an overflowing sink in a Baton Rouge home. When the customer discovered standing water spreading across the kitchen and nearby rooms, they contacted our team for immediate water extraction and cleanup. Using our high-powered extraction truck and professional moisture detection equipment, we removed all standing water and identified areas where moisture had penetrated the drywall, flooring, and cabinetry. Because sink overflows can quickly lead to hidden structural damage and mold growth, our team acted fast to stabilize the home and begin the mitigation process.

Solutions provided:

Once the water was fully extracted, United Fire and Water began the necessary demolition to remove all damaged materials and prevent further deterioration. We cut out saturated sheetrock, removed compromised flooring, and detached the water-damaged kitchen cabinets. After clearing all affected materials, we set up industrial drying equipment to bring moisture levels down to IICRC-approved standards. This included strategically placing air movers and dehumidifiers to ensure complete structural drying. Our technicians monitored the drying progress daily to ensure the home was safe, sanitized, and ready for reconstruction. After the mitigation phase was complete, United Fire and Water transitioned into full reconstruction to restore the home to pre-loss condition. Our rebuild team installed brand-new wood flooring throughout the affected areas, replaced the damaged kitchen cabinets, and repaired all necessary sheetrock. We finished with painting and final touches to ensure the home looked seamless and fully restored. As the top water damage restoration company in Baton Rouge, United Fire and Water takes pride in delivering fast response times, expert structural drying, and high-quality rebuild services for sink overflows, kitchen water leaks, and all residential water damage emergencies.
