Job completed for Darkshani- water leak Baton Rouge

Completion date: September 19, 2023

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water recently responded to a hot water heater leak at a home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where water traveled down the walls and spread across multiple rooms. The homeowner experienced wet carpet, wet wood flooring, and hidden moisture inside wall cavities, creating a serious water damage risk. Using advanced infrared camera technology and moisture detection equipment, our certified technicians mapped the full extent of the water intrusion to ensure no affected areas were overlooked.

Solutions provided:

After identifying the damaged materials, United Fire & Water began professional water damage mitigation and demolition services. Our team removed all compromised flooring, wet insulation, damaged sheetrock, trim, and baseboards to prevent further structural deterioration and mold growth. Any materials that could be salvaged were carefully dried using commercial-grade dehumidifiers, air movers, and drying equipment, all monitored daily to meet IICRC-approved drying standards. Once the structure was fully dried, we completed a thorough cleaning, disinfection, and antimicrobial treatmentthroughout the affected areas. This step is critical to eliminate bacteria, odors, and potential mold spores following a plumbing-related water loss. United Fire & Water prepared the home for the repair and reconstruction phase, ensuring it could be safely restored to pre-loss condition. Homeowners across Baton Rouge rely on United Fire & Water for expert water damage restoration, hot water heater leak cleanup, wet flooring removal, and complete property recovery services.
