Job completed for Fontana- bursted pipe Baton Rouge
Completion date: July 21, 2022
Location: Baton Rouge, LA
Why did the customer contact us?
A homeowner in Baton Rouge, Louisiana contacted United Fire & Water Damage of Louisiana after a burst pipe caused extensive water damage throughout multiple rooms of the home. The prolonged moisture exposure resulted in elevated moisture levels and early mold growth, particularly in the kitchen where mold had spread up to approximately seven feet along the walls. Due to the extent of the damage, both the kitchen and bathroom required significant demolition to safely remove affected materials and prepare the home for restoration.
Solutions provided:
Upon arrival, our team completed a thorough inspection and documented the loss with a DocuSketch walkthrough. To prevent mold spores and contaminants from spreading to unaffected areas, containment barriers were installed throughout several portions of the home. We carefully packed out the kitchen contents into the living room to protect the homeowner's belongings before beginning demolition. The kitchen was addressed first, with all affected cabinets removed to access hidden moisture and mold behind the walls. Our technicians also inspected the adjoining shower wall and surrounding areas for additional water intrusion before continuing with the mitigation process. United Fire & Water Damage completed a full gut of the affected kitchen, removing all damaged building materials and cabinets while following industry standards for water damage mitigation and mold remediation. After demolition was complete, professional structural drying equipment was strategically placed throughout the residence to begin removing excess moisture from the remaining structural components. By combining detailed documentation, proper containment, controlled demolition, and advanced drying techniques, our team helped stabilize the Baton Rouge home and prepare it for the next phase of reconstruction while minimizing the risk of additional mold growth.
