Job completed for Garrett H.-water damage baton rouge

A homeowner in Baton Rouge contacted United Fire & Water after discovering a slab leak that caused extensive water damage throughout the home. Upon arrival at the Baton Rouge property, technicians found the engineered wood flooring in the living room heavily saturated with water, along with elevated moisture levels in the hallway bathroom where water had wicked approximately six inches up the walls. Quick action was critical to help save the engineered wood flooring and prevent additional structural damage within the home.

The water damage restoration team in Baton Rouge immediately began emergency mitigation services by setting up commercial dehumidifiers and drying equipment to stabilize the affected areas. During the inspection, mold growth was discovered behind the bathroom toilet due to prolonged moisture exposure. To properly address the damage, technicians performed a controlled flood cut, removing approximately four feet of affected drywall and safely removing the bathroom vanity to expose hidden moisture and contaminated materials. These steps helped ensure the area could dry thoroughly and reduced the risk of ongoing mold growth.
