During the mitigation process in Baton Rouge, LA, our technicians began removing the flooring in the dining room and started scraping up the adhesive to expose the subfloor for proper drying. Limited demolition was performed, including a 2-foot flood cut in the laundry room and bathroom, to remove water-damaged materials and allow airflow within the wall cavities. These steps are essential in water damage restoration in Baton Rouge, LA to ensure all hidden moisture is properly addressed.

To stabilize the property in Baton Rouge, LA, we installed professional drying equipment, including three dehumidifiers, three air scrubbers, and three air movers. This setup helps control humidity, improve air quality, and accelerate the drying process throughout the affected areas. United Fire & Water Damage continues to monitor the project in Baton Rouge, LA to ensure the home is properly dried and prepared for the next phase of restoration.
