Job completed for Smith- kitchen drain leak

Kitche🚰 United Fire and Water responded to a residential home in Baton Rouge, LA, after a broken kitchen drain line under the sink caused water to spread throughout the home, including standing water found under the bathroom tub. With the water line shut off and a plumber working to diagnose the exact cause of the break, our team was able to focus entirely on addressing the water damage while the source issue was resolved separately.

Our crew began with water extraction to remove standing water from both the kitchen and bathroom areas. From there, we moved into demolition, removing the affected flooring, baseboards, trim, and sheetrock throughout the impacted rooms to fully expose the extent of the damage and eliminate any trapped moisture that couldn't be dried in place. Once demolition was complete, our team thoroughly cleaned the space and set professional drying equipment, including dehumidifiers and fans, to bring the affected areas to a proper dry standard. With everything cleaned and prepped, the home was ready for repair work, which included a full floor remodel to restore the space. This job is a great example of how a single broken drain line can impact multiple rooms of a home, and why coordinating with a plumber alongside the restoration process helps keep everything moving efficiently. If your Baton Rouge home has experienced a plumbing failure or water damage, United Fire and Water is ready to help from extraction through final repair.
