Job completed for Marcus A.- Water Damage Baton Rouge

Completion date: July 3, 2025

Location: Prairieville, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water responded promptly to a water damage call in Baton Rouge, LA after a homeowner reported a leak coming from their upstairs bathroom. Upon arrival, our certified technician conducted a thorough inspection and traced the source of the water to a leak beneath the vanity cabinet. The water had already migrated through the floor, affecting both the subfloor of the upstairs bathroom and the ceiling drywall of the downstairs dining area.

Solutions provided:

Despite visible water intrusion, the ceiling in the Baton Rouge home maintained its structural integrity—there were no signs of sagging or collapse. To prevent further damage and initiate the drying process, the technician strategically drilled weep holes into the affected ceiling drywall. This allowed trapped moisture to escape and improved air circulation, which is critical to avoid mold growth or hidden structural weakening.

To expedite drying, an axial air mover was placed in the dining room of the Baton Rouge property, directing airflow upward to dry the ceiling cavity effectively. By intervening quickly, United Fire & Water was able to stabilize the affected areas and prevent more extensive damage. This project highlights our proactive approach to water damage restoration in Baton Rouge, LA—where every minute matters.
