Job completed for Lamons- slab leak

A residential property in Baton Rouge, LA experienced water damage after the home's main drain line failed near the front entrance where it exited the footing beneath the slab. In addition to the damaged main drain, a broken cleanout riser was discovered beneath the driveway, requiring extensive plumbing repairs. Due to the location of the damaged drain line, tunneling beneath the slab was necessary to provide access for the plumbing work while minimizing disruption to the home's foundation.

Once the plumbing repairs were underway, United Fire & Water Damage began the mitigation process by removing affected building materials that had sustained water damage. Exposing hidden moisture is an important step in preventing additional structural deterioration and creating the proper conditions for drying. Professional structural drying equipment was strategically installed throughout the affected areas, while air purification equipment was placed onsite to help maintain indoor air quality and remove airborne particles generated during the restoration process. Throughout mitigation, moisture levels were carefully monitored to ensure the structure was dried to IICRC-approved standards. After the drying process was successfully completed, all impacted areas were thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to help restore a safe and healthy environment. The property was then prepared for the repair and reconstruction phase, allowing the homeowner to move forward with restoring the affected areas. Complex plumbing failures beneath a home's slab can create significant hidden moisture issues, making prompt mitigation and professional structural drying essential to protecting the property and reducing the risk of long-term damage.
