Job completed for Matthew S.-water damage baton rouge, la

Completion date: July 14, 2026

Location: St. Francisville, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water was called to a residential property in Baton Rouge, LA after the homeowner experienced a water issue in their bathroom caused by a broken shower drain. Although the plumber had already repaired the drain, water had leaked beneath the shower and behind the adjacent wall, leaving the area saturated and at risk for mold development. The homeowner contacted our Baton Rouge water damage restoration team to address the moisture intrusion and mitigate further damage.

Solutions provided:

Upon arrival, our specialists conducted a thorough inspection of the affected bathroom and confirmed the presence of a wet subfloor beneath the shower. To begin the mitigation process, we carefully removed the baseboards and the lower portion of the drywall, discarding all water-damaged materials. Our team then used a HEPA vacuum to clean the exposed studs and subfloor, effectively eliminating dust, debris, and microscopic mold spores that could contribute to indoor air quality issues.

To ensure a complete dry-out and safe environment, United Fire & Water set up a commercial-grade dehumidifier and air scrubber in the bathroom of the Baton Rouge home. These machines worked together to extract remaining moisture from the air and remove airborne particulates. We also performed targeted mold remediation using antibacterial solutions to disinfect the space and prevent future mold growth. This project demonstrates our commitment to thorough, policyholder-first water damage restoration in Baton Rouge, LA.
