Job completed for Elizabeth B.-water damage

Completion date: November 7, 2025

Location: St Amant, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water recently responded to a major water damage emergency in Baton Rouge, LA, after a homeowner’s attic-based hot water tank exploded and began leaking throughout the master bedroom. When the client noticed water staining and moisture issues, they immediately contacted our team to prevent further structural damage. Upon arrival, our technicians assessed the situation and began a thorough water mitigation process to protect the property and stop the spread of contamination.

Solutions provided:

The drainage pipe connected to the failed tank had been releasing water directly into the attic insulation, causing widespread saturation. Our Baton Rouge crew removed all damaged insulation and cut out five feet of drywall in the master bedroom—from the ceiling down to the floor—to access and dry hidden moisture. Air scrubbers were installed to clean the indoor air, while our team treated the affected areas with antimicrobial spray to prevent mold growth from developing after the leak.

To complete the water damage restoration in Baton Rouge, United Fire & Water placed professional drying equipment throughout the master bedroom and attic. Dehumidifiers and air movers worked together to reduce moisture, protect the remaining structure, and ensure a full dry-out. Thanks to quick action and expert restoration techniques, the home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is now safe, clean, and ready for repairs. United Fire & Water remains the trusted choice for reliable, professional water damage restoration in the Baton Rouge area.
