Job completed for Jack A.-water damage- baton rouge

Completion date: August 28, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after noticing water on the floor, swollen crown molding, and holes in the wall—symptoms often linked to a ruptured drain line under the slab. Left unaddressed, this type of leak can lead to significant structural damage and mold growth. Our team responded quickly to evaluate the situation and begin professional water damage mitigation.

Solutions provided:

Our certified technician carefully removed affected building materials, including baseboards, door casings, and toe kicks, to expose hidden areas of moisture. Once the damaged materials were taken out, all exposed surfaces were thoroughly cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial solution to prevent mold growth and ensure a safe environment. This step was critical in preparing the home for proper drying and long-term protection against water damage.

To stabilize the property, we deployed specialized drying equipment, including a commercial-grade dehumidifier, an air scrubber, and a high-powered air mover. Together, this equipment reduced moisture levels, filtered harmful particulates and mold spores from the air, and dried any remaining wet structures. This Baton Rouge, LA water damage restoration project highlights United Fire & Water’s expertise in identifying slab-related leaks, protecting structural integrity, and restoring properties to safe, dry conditions.
