A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA contacted United Fire & Water after discovering a leaking toilet in an upstairs bathroom that caused extensive water damage throughout multiple areas of the home. The leak saturated the bathroom subfloor, affected the ceiling below, damaged the kitchen ceiling, and allowed moisture to spread into the wood flooring. Our team responded quickly to assess the damage, identify all affected materials, and develop a comprehensive water mitigation plan to prevent further deterioration and mold growth.

To properly dry the property in Baton Rouge, LA, our technicians deployed 7 air movers, 2 commercial dehumidifiers, and 2 air scrubbers. Advanced moisture monitoring equipment was used throughout the drying process to track progress and ensure all affected structural materials were returning to normal moisture levels. After three days of professional drying, the subfloor, ceilings, and wood flooring were confirmed dry, allowing the restoration process to move forward safely and efficiently.

Once the drying phase was completed, our team thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the affected walls and flooring to help prevent microbial growth and restore a safe living environment. The reconstruction phase included remodeling the damaged areas, installing a new toilet, and replacing the affected tile flooring.
