Job completed for Josh B.-water damage baton rouge

Completion date: August 4, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

An apartment owner in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after broken water heater pipes in the attic released water into two separate units for an unknown length of time. The prolonged leak caused significant water damage to multiple bedrooms, ceilings, and wall cavities. Our certified water damage restoration team responded quickly to assess the situation and begin emergency mitigation.

Solutions provided:

Our Baton Rouge, LA crew performed a flood cut along the interior bedroom walls to remove wet insulation, saturated drywall, and damaged baseboards. We also removed soaked ceiling insulation and sagging drywall to prevent potential collapse and allow for proper airflow during the drying process. All work areas were HEPA vacuumed to capture fine particles and mold spores, ensuring a clean and safe environment for tenants.

Once demolition and cleaning were complete, we installed commercial-grade drying equipment and an air scrubber to remove excess moisture from the air and structural materials. These steps help prevent mold growth and further damage. United Fire & Water remains committed to providing fast, professional water damage restoration in Baton Rouge, LA, helping property owners protect their investments and restore their buildings to safe, livable conditions.
