Job completed for Charles D.- Water Damage Baton Rouge
Completion date: July 31, 2025
Location: Prairieville, LA
Why did the customer contact us?
United Fire & Water responded quickly to a water damage emergency in Baton Rouge, LA, after a homeowner reported a busted water heater line. The water intrusion affected a closet space, where water had saturated the carpet and led to visible mold growth. Our trained technicians arrived promptly to assess the damage and begin mitigation to prevent further structural deterioration and microbial spread.
Solutions provided:
Upon arrival, our Baton Rouge, LA-based team removed the wet carpet and performed a two-foot flood cut to eliminate affected drywall. The ceiling and insulation were also removed to expose and clean the underlying structure. Visible mold was wiped down from the framing, and all exposed materials were treated with a professional-grade antimicrobial solution. Containment barriers were strategically placed at the ceiling and door to isolate the affected area, and drying equipment including a dehumidifier and air scrubber was installed to ensure safe indoor air quality during the remediation process.
After several days of controlled drying, all overhead materials in the Baton Rouge, LA home were confirmed dry and safe. The sill plate, initially saturated, also reached acceptable moisture levels with continued drying. Our team removed the equipment and containment, leaving the space ready for reconstruction. United Fire & Water remains committed to restoring homes in Baton Rouge with expert care, precision, and adherence to IICRC standards.
