Job completed for Rosemary P.-water damage baton rouge

Completion date: September 2, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA reached out to United Fire & Water after noticing that the floors in their home had become soft and squishy due to a sink leak. Upon inspection, our technician discovered that water had escaped from a busted drain pipe in the kitchen, spreading through the hallway, into a small section of the living room, and even exiting through an exterior door. Moisture readings also confirmed that the laminate flooring in the living room was affected, particularly behind the kitchen sink cabinet wall.

Solutions provided:

During the inspection, our team noted a musky odor inside the kitchen sink cabinet, an indication of prolonged water exposure and the potential for mold growth. Based on these findings, we recommended removal of the affected cabinets and opening the wall for further inspection. Controlled demolition was performed to remove wet flooring and cabinetry, which allowed us to access hidden moisture and prevent further damage.

After demolition, our team deployed professional drying equipment, including dehumidifiers, air movers, and air scrubbers, to stabilize the environment and return the property to safe moisture levels. Once drying was complete, a thorough antimicrobial surface cleaning was performed to eliminate potential mold spores and sanitize the area. This Baton Rouge, LA water damage restoration project demonstrates United Fire & Water’s commitment to fast response, detailed inspection, and complete restoration for homeowners experiencing plumbing-related water losses.
