Job completed for Chesterton- sewer backup

A commercial property owner in Baton Rouge, Louisiana contacted United Fire & Water Damage of Louisiana after a sewer backup caused contaminated water to affect portions of the building. Because sewer backups involve unsanitary water, immediate mitigation was necessary to protect the property, reduce business interruption, and prevent further damage to the building materials. Our team responded promptly to assess the affected areas and begin the cleanup process.

United Fire & Water Damage first performed emergency water extraction to remove the contaminated water from the property. Once the standing water was eliminated, our technicians thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the affected areas before strategically placing commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to begin the structural drying process. A controlled demolition was also completed in the sections of the building where water-damaged materials could not be salvaged, allowing hidden moisture to be removed and ensuring the structure could dry properly. Throughout the mitigation process, our team closely monitored the drying progress to help restore the building as safely and efficiently as possible. By combining emergency water extraction, professional cleaning, selective demolition, and advanced structural drying, United Fire & Water Damage helped stabilize the commercial property and prepare it for the next phase of restoration. Our comprehensive approach minimized additional damage and allowed the Baton Rouge business to move one step closer to resuming normal operations.
