Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after discovering water damage from leaky attic pipes dripping into the bathroom. Upon inspection, our representative determined the actual source was an HVAC unit in the attic that was improperly draining. The water traveled down the walls into the bathroom and hallway, with additional intrusion on the adjacent wall of a bedroom. Immediate action was necessary to prevent further structural damage and microbial growth.

Solutions provided:

Our mitigation team at United Fire & Water in Baton Rouge, LA removed laminated vinyl flooring and baseboards in the affected areas, including the closet. To properly dry hidden moisture, a 4-inch base cut was performed, allowing access to wall cavities where water had migrated. Comprehensive atmospheric and moisture readings were taken throughout the home to establish a drying plan tailored to the extent of the water loss. This ensured that no saturated materials or hidden water pockets were left untreated.

To stabilize the home and restore safe conditions, our technicians deployed advanced drying equipment including a commercial dehumidifier, multiple air movers, and air scrubbers. These units worked together to reduce humidity levels, circulate dry air, and filter particulates from the environment. By implementing these proven restoration practices in Baton Rouge, LA, United Fire & Water successfully protected the property from further damage, safeguarded indoor air quality, and accelerated the drying process to help the homeowner return to normal faster.
