Job completed for How to find a leak during a leak detection Sorrento, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

This water damage restoration project took place in Baton Rouge, after a washer overflow caused hidden moisture issues throughout the home. Although the homeowner initially believed all the water had been removed, lingering moisture and a noticeable mold odor prompted a professional inspection. In Baton Rouge, washer overflows can quickly lead to trapped moisture due to high humidity, especially behind walls and under flooring. Moisture readings confirmed saturated baseboards and drywall in the laundry room, as well as elevated moisture levels in the adjacent bedroom.

During the water damage assessment in Baton Rouge, technicians found baseboards and drywall reading 100% moisture in the laundry room and along the back wall. The bedroom on the opposite side of the wall also showed 100% moisture in approximately 8 square feet of wood flooring and baseboards. Baseboards were removed in both the laundry room and bedroom, insulation was removed, and a two-foot flood cut was performed on the affected laundry room wall. Microbial growth was discovered on the backside of the baseboards and Sheetrock, requiring additional drywall removal to properly address the damage.

To properly dry and mitigate the water damage in Baton Rouge, containment was set up at the hallway entrance to prevent cross-contamination. An Injectidry drying system was installed in the bedroom, a dehumidifier was placed in the hallway, and air movers were positioned in both the laundry room and bedroom. The goal was to dry affected materials in place where possible while preventing mold spread and further structural damage. This project highlights the importance of professional water damage restoration in Baton Rouge when moisture is hidden and mold growth is suspected.
