Job completed for Begnaud- hot water heater leak

A residential property in Baton Rouge, LA experienced extensive water damage after a hot water heater in the attic leaked, allowing water to travel through the ceiling and into multiple rooms of the home. 💧🏠 The primary bedroom, wall systems, attic insulation, and surrounding materials were affected, requiring immediate mitigation to prevent further damage and prepare the property for reconstruction.

Our team began by removing damaged sheetrock, saturated carpeting, and wet attic insulation to expose hidden moisture and create proper drying conditions. Water from attic leaks can spread through ceilings, walls, and flooring systems before becoming visible, making thorough mitigation essential to protecting the structure and preventing mold growth. Professional drying equipment was installed throughout the affected areas and monitored to return moisture levels to IICRC-approved drying standards. Because the homeowner is an immunocompromised senior citizen with severe asthma, air purification equipment was also placed onsite to help improve indoor air quality throughout the restoration process. Once drying was complete, affected areas were cleaned, sanitized, and prepared for repairs and reconstruction.
