Job completed for Ted S.- Water Damage- Baton Rouge

Completion date: July 3, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water was called to a residential property in Baton Rouge, LA after the homeowner reported a leaking sink drain line inside the wall, leading to visible water damage in the kitchen. The leak originated from the drain line located in the exterior wall behind the dishwasher, affecting the insulation, sill plate, and surrounding cabinetry. The tile grout showed signs of cracking, and sections of the cabinetry had been cut during the plumbing repair, exposing further moisture concerns.

Solutions provided:

Our Baton Rouge water damage restoration team performed a detailed inspection and immediately removed the affected drywall and wet insulation to prevent further structural damage and mold growth. A HEPA vacuum was used to dry and clean the sill plate and interior wall cavities, ensuring that no residual moisture remained trapped behind the walls. We also set up a commercial-grade dehumidifier and an air mover to accelerate the drying process and reduce moisture content within the cabinetry and surrounding kitchen structure.

To complete the mitigation process, mold remediation was conducted on the impacted materials in the Baton Rouge home, followed by the application of antimicrobial treatments to prevent future microbial growth. This water damage restoration project demonstrates United Fire & Water’s commitment to thorough, policyholder-first service using industry-standard methods to ensure a safe and fully dried home environment.
