Job completed for Tall- slab leak
Completion date: September 25, 2023
Location: Baton Rouge, LA
Why did the customer contact us?
A homeowner in Baton Rouge, Louisiana contacted United Fire & Water Damage of Louisiana after discovering a slab leak beneath the kitchen floor that caused significant water damage throughout the affected area. Because slab leaks often go unnoticed until substantial damage has occurred, water had migrated beneath the flooring and into surrounding building materials. Immediate mitigation was necessary to prevent additional structural damage and prepare the home for the restoration process.
Solutions provided:
Upon arrival, our team identified the affected areas and began emergency water extraction to remove standing water from the kitchen. Damaged flooring was carefully removed to expose trapped moisture, and selective demolition was completed where materials could not be salvaged. Once the demolition phase was finished, commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed throughout the home to dry the remaining structural components and reduce moisture levels in areas that did not require removal. Throughout the drying process, United Fire & Water Damage closely monitored moisture levels to ensure the structure was drying properly before reconstruction could begin. By combining prompt water extraction, controlled demolition, and advanced structural drying techniques, our team helped stabilize the Baton Rouge residence and minimize additional damage caused by the slab leak. This comprehensive approach prepared the home for the next phase of repairs and helped return the property one step closer to its pre-loss condition.
