Job completed for Freeman- water damage Baton Rouge

Completion date: January 22, 2024

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire and Water recently responded to a severe sewer backup at a residential home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The customer experienced a major overflow from the toilet, causing contaminated Category 3 water to spread throughout multiple rooms. Our certified water damage mitigation team arrived with our extraction truck and immediately began removing the standing sewage water to prevent further absorption into the flooring and walls. Using advanced moisture detection tools, we assessed all affected areas to determine the full extent of the sewer damage.

Solutions provided:

Because sewer water is highly hazardous, United Fire and Water performed extensive demolition to ensure the home could be safely restored. We removed all contaminated flooring and performed a 4-foot flood cut on impacted walls to eliminate areas saturated with sewage. Our team thoroughly disinfected every affected surface using industry-standard antimicrobial treatments. After demolition and sanitation were complete, we set professional drying equipment throughout the home and monitored moisture levels daily to ensure a complete and safe dry-out. Once the structure was fully dry, our reconstruction team began restoring the home to pre-loss condition. This included replacing all damaged flooring, installing new sheetrock, and preparing the home for finishing work. By handling both the mitigation and repairs, United Fire and Water provided a seamless, start-to-finish restoration experience. As Baton Rouge’s trusted experts in sewer backup cleanup and water damage restoration, we ensured the homeowner’s property was safe, clean, and fully restored.
