Job completed for Sandhu- water damage cleanup baton rouge

Completion date: January 24, 2024

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water responded to a homeowner in Baton Rouge experiencing a sewage backup in the master bedroom—a severe Category 3 water event that requires immediate and specialized mitigation. Upon arrival, our team assessed the affected areas, moved contents to prevent further damage, and began extracting the contaminated water. Because sewage water poses serious health risks, we removed the affected carpet, baseboards, and trim to expose all impacted materials and ensure no hidden moisture remained.

Solutions provided:

Using professional-grade drying equipment, we set up air movers and dehumidifiers to bring moisture levels down to IICRC-approved standards. Throughout the drying process, our technicians monitored conditions daily to ensure the space was properly dried and safe for the next phase of restoration. We also applied antimicrobial treatments to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold growth, which is common after Category 3 water losses. Once the area was fully dry, clean, and sanitized, we prepared the space for reconstruction. United Fire & Water documented all work completed—including dry logs, moisture readings, and photos—and coordinated with the homeowner’s insurance provider to streamline the claims process. By following industry best practices and maintaining strict safety standards, we ensured the master bedroom was ready for full repairs and a complete return to pre-loss condition.
