Job completed for Tyeisha M.-water damage baton rouge

Completion date: September 9, 2025

Location: Walker, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A plumber in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after a homeowner experienced a severe sewer backup in their bathroom. The overflow spread into three rooms, damaging the laminated wood flooring throughout the brand-new home and even flowing out the front door. While the plumber had corrected the faulty stall action that caused the problem, the unhappy homeowner needed a professional moisture check and water damage assessment. Our certified technician arrived promptly to inspect the damage and provide a verbal estimate.

Solutions provided:

During the assessment, our technician identified extensive water intrusion and began immediate mitigation to protect the home from further deterioration. The process included controlled demolition of the flooring, performing flood cuts, and removing affected baseboards, shoe molding, and unsalvageable building materials. All debris was carefully bagged and disposed of in accordance with industry standards. The bathroom vanity was also removed, with the countertop saved for reinstallation during repairs.

Once demolition was complete, drying equipment was strategically placed to stabilize moisture levels. The technician HEPA vacuumed affected areas, applied an antimicrobial solution, and thoroughly wiped down all surfaces to reduce the risk of mold growth. This Baton Rouge, LA water damage restoration project highlights United Fire & Water’s ability to respond quickly, perform professional demolition, and use advanced drying and cleaning techniques to restore even brand-new homes after severe water losses.
