Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire and Water, a trusted water damage restoration company in Baton Rouge, was called to a home where water damage had occurred due to rat-chewed plumbing pipes. The homeowner was understandably concerned about the potential damage to their wood floors, which they hoped to save. With the plumbing issue being addressed on Monday and the water shut off in the meantime, our team sprang into action to mitigate further damage and begin the restoration process. Our experts are committed to helping homeowners restore their properties efficiently and effectively, minimizing the disruption caused by water damage.

Solutions provided:

Our first step was to protect and cover the contents in the affected area, including furniture and personal items, to prevent them from sustaining additional damage during the cleanup process. Once the area was secured, we carefully removed any water-damaged materials such as insulation, drywall, and flooring that could not be salvaged. Since the homeowner wanted to save the wood floors, we focused on preventing further moisture from causing more damage by setting up professional drying equipment. The drying process followed IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) standards, ensuring the space was thoroughly dried and moisture-free to prevent mold and mildew growth.

To further improve air quality and eliminate any unpleasant odors caused by the water damage, we also placed air purification equipment throughout the affected area. After completing the drying and air purification processes, we meticulously cleaned and sanitized the space to remove any bacteria or contaminants caused by the water damage. Finally, we prepared the area for necessary repairs, ensuring that the home would be ready for the final restoration work.
