Why did the customer contact us?

This water damage restoration project in Baton Rouge, LA began when a homeowner contacted United Fire & Water with concerns about a possible slab leak. The homeowner reported visible damage to the laminate flooring in one room. Upon arrival, a certified United Fire & Water technician thoroughly inspected the affected area, took detailed moisture readings, and placed a commercial-grade dehumidifier to begin the drying process. The goal was to prevent further water intrusion and stop secondary damage from occurring.

Solutions provided:

During the assessment, it was determined that minor demolition was necessary to properly address the moisture trapped within the structure. The technician performed a 2-foot flood cut along the north wall of the pantry to remove saturated materials and allow for efficient air circulation. This step ensured that hidden moisture pockets behind the drywall could be fully dried, reducing the risk of mold growth and structural deterioration. The team closely monitored the drying process throughout the following days to ensure optimal results.

After several days of drying and consistent moisture checks, the affected areas in the Baton Rouge, LA home were completely restored to normal moisture levels. The remaining structures were confirmed dry, and all drying equipment was safely removed. This Baton Rouge water damage restoration project showcases United Fire & Water’s commitment to efficient, thorough, and professional service—helping homeowners recover quickly and safely from unexpected water damage.
