Why did the customer contact us?

The customer experienced a water heater leak in the attic that allowed water to travel down the wall, causing water damage to interior materials. United Fire & Water responded to this water damage loss in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to scope the job, assess the extent of the damage, and prevent further issues. A work authorization was signed, and mitigation services began immediately.

Solutions provided:

Our team performed selective demolition by cutting out all water-damaged materials, including affected sheetrock and insulation, to eliminate trapped moisture. Professional drying equipment was then installed to properly dry the wall cavities and surrounding areas. Removing damaged insulation was a critical step to ensure effective drying and prevent future mold growth. Throughout the drying process, United Fire & Water returned daily to monitor moisture readings and adjust equipment as needed to ensure the structure was drying correctly. This project highlights the importance of proper mitigation and monitoring following an attic water heater leak to protect the home and prepare it for repairs. Water Damage Restoration – Water Heater Leak, Baton Rouge, LA.
