Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration was called to a Baton Rouge home where a homeowner experienced significant water damage due to an air conditioner trap overflow. The leak caused moisture to seep through the ceiling, affecting the floors and even infiltrating a closet. Upon arriving at the site, the United Fire & Water team quickly assessed the damage and began the restoration process. The first step was to protect the home’s contents by covering them with a poly liner to prevent further contamination. After ensuring the safety of the items, the team removed the ceiling drywall in the living room where the water intrusion had occurred, preparing the space for drying and sanitation.

Solutions provided:

After the demolition, the United Fire & Water team used a HEPA vacuum throughout the affected areas to ensure that all debris was removed, and all surfaces were thoroughly cleaned. To prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, the ceiling joists were sprayed with an antimicrobial disinfectant, and all interior wood surfaces were wiped down carefully to remove any signs of mold formation. In addition, the team removed carpet, padding, and tack strips from various affected areas, including the upstairs landing, bedroom entry, and master closet. The subflooring in these areas was then treated with an antimicrobial disinfectant to ensure all moisture and contaminants were eliminated.

In the final stages of the restoration process, the team removed the wood flooring in the living and dining rooms, where the moisture had caused significant damage. After the flooring was taken out, the team vacuumed and cleaned the subfloor to remove any dust, debris, or moisture residue. With the floors now properly dried and disinfected, the home was prepared for further repairs. United Fire & Water Restoration’s expert water damage services in Baton Rouge ensured the home was restored to a safe, clean, and dry condition, preventing further damage and the potential for mold growth.
