Job completed for Marguerite I.- water damage baton rouge

Completion date: July 16, 2026

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after discovering a wet, moldy pantry and saturated bathroom walls. Upon arrival, our technician conducted a thorough inspection and identified the source of the water intrusion: an overflowing HVAC drain pan located in the attic. The water had soaked attic insulation, caused damage to the ceiling drywall, and drained into the wall cavities, resulting in widespread water damage and microbial growth in multiple rooms.

Solutions provided:

The extended duration of the leak led to mold forming on the ceiling drywall and microbial growth appearing on the terra cotta tile flooring in the pantry. In the wine storage area, wood ceiling slats were sagging and detaching due to moisture saturation. A visible water stain was also found on the ceiling in the hallway bathroom adjacent to the kitchen pantry. Our Baton Rouge, LA team set up a containment zone in the kitchen to begin safe demolition. Damaged drywall and insulation were bagged and removed, followed by a full HEPA vacuuming and application of antimicrobial disinfectant.

To complete the mitigation, United Fire & Water performed a detailed cleaning of all exposed framing, studs, sill plates, and floors. Drying equipment, including a dehumidifier and air movers, was installed to dry the remaining structural components. This Baton Rouge, LA water damage project highlights the importance of early detection and professional response when dealing with HVAC-related leaks and mold concerns. United Fire & Water remains committed to restoring homes in Baton Rouge with industry-best practices and unmatched care.
