Job completed for Joan C.-water damage baton rouge

Completion date: August 5, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after experiencing a major plumbing failure. A hot water line had burst in their attic, causing extensive water damage that led to the ceiling collapsing in one area of the home. Upon arrival, our certified restoration team performed a full inspection and determined that nearly 60% of the property had been affected by water intrusion. This level of damage required an immediate and coordinated response to prevent further structural deterioration and mold growth.

Solutions provided:

Our technicians began by removing all Formica sheeting from the living room floor to address water trapped beneath the surface. Comprehensive moisture readings were taken throughout the home to ensure no hidden areas of saturation were overlooked. During the inspection, the popcorn ceiling in the master bedroom was tested and found to contain asbestos, requiring specialized abatement procedures. By following strict safety protocols and industry standards, United Fire & Water ensured that hazardous materials were safely removed before the drying process began.

To restore the home to a safe and dry condition, we deployed commercial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and air scrubbers. These systems worked together to remove excess moisture, improve air quality, and accelerate drying in all affected areas. The result was a thorough water damage restoration process that brought the property back to pre-loss condition. This Baton Rouge, LA water damage restoration project showcases United Fire & Water’s expertise in handling large-scale residential losses with both efficiency and care.
