Job completed for Wanesta H.-water damage baton rouge

United Fire & Water responded to a water damage project in Baton Rouge, LA after a plumbing leak in the kitchen caused water to migrate into the master bedroom and closet areas. The leak affected both carpet and hardwood flooring, requiring immediate mitigation to prevent additional damage and potential mold growth. Our team conducted a thorough inspection of the affected areas in Baton Rouge, LA, including the kitchen, master bedroom, master closet, and master bathroom to determine the extent of the water intrusion.

To properly address the damage, we removed the kitchen cabinet and pulled the dishwasher to inspect for hidden moisture. In the master bedroom and closet, damaged flooring was removed along with the baseboards in the closet to expose wet materials and promote proper drying. Moisture monitoring was performed using screw tests in the sill plates behind the kitchen cabinet and within the closet to ensure all structural components were evaluated. To accelerate the drying process, our technicians installed two dehumidifiers, two air scrubbers, three air movers in the closet, and two air movers in the kitchen.

After mitigation efforts were completed, moisture readings confirmed that the master bathroom floor remained dry and unaffected by the loss. The project in Baton Rouge, LA will require replacement of the carpet in the master bedroom and the hardwood flooring in the kitchen to restore the home to its pre-loss condition. Prompt water damage mitigation and professional drying services helped minimize further damage and protect the property's structural integrity.
