Job completed for Kingsbery- water damage Baton Rouge

United Fire and Water responded to an unusual water damage case in Baton Rouge, LA, where a varmint had chewed through the sheetrock in the attic, allowing water to enter the master bedroom below. While the homeowner believed the area had since dried out, mold had already developed, a reminder that "dry" on the surface doesn't always mean the moisture problem has been fully resolved.

Our team performed demolition of the affected sheetrock in both the attic and the master bedroom to fully expose the extent of the damage and address the source of the moisture intrusion. With the area opened up, we set professional drying equipment to eliminate any remaining moisture, followed by a full mold remediation process to safely remove and treat the contaminated materials and prevent regrowth. Once the space was clean, dry, and treated, our team replaced the sheetrock and completed painting to bring the home back to its preloss condition. This job is a good example of how unexpected sources, like pest damage, can lead to hidden water intrusion and mold issues that aren't always obvious right away. If your Baton Rouge home shows signs of water damage or mold, even from an unusual source, United Fire and Water is ready to help with a full assessment and restoration plan.
