Job completed for Faiker- residential water damage

United Fire and Water responded to a residential water damage emergency in Baton Rouge, LA, after a bathroom water handle valve broke off, allowing water to run freely for approximately 30 minutes before it was discovered. The water traveled beyond the bathroom itself, leaking out along two exterior walls of the home and soaking through to an interior wall, leaving the carpet saturated and raising concerns about additional moisture trapped around the bathtub area.

Our team responded quickly to begin mitigation, starting with the removal of the affected carpet and thorough sanitization of the impacted areas to prevent bacterial growth and further contamination. To ensure the space was completely dry before any repairs began, we set up one Phoenix DryMax dehumidifier along with six dual axial fans, creating optimal airflow and moisture extraction throughout the affected rooms. Once the drying process was complete and moisture levels were confirmed to be back to normal, our team moved forward with replacing the flooring to restore the home to its pre-damage condition. This job highlights how quickly a small plumbing mishap, like a broken valve handle, can lead to widespread water damage throughout a home.
