Job completed for Elzie- water damage BR

Completion date: March 28, 2024

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, Louisiana experienced unexpected water damage when a water heater leak caused nearly a quarter of the tank’s water to spill into the hallway and flow down the stairs. The leak caused water to seep through the attic, down the walls, and into multiple floors of the home. When the homeowner called United Fire & Water, our certified restoration team arrived promptly with moisture meters and inspection tools to assess the full extent of the damage. We quickly identified significant moisture throughout the affected areas and began the water extraction and mitigation process immediately to prevent further damage and potential mold growth.

Solutions provided:

Our team performed strategic demolition of wet materials, removing damaged sheetrock, insulation, and flooring to stop the spread of moisture. Once the damaged materials were removed, United Fire & Water set up industrial-grade drying equipment, dehumidifiers, and air movers to thoroughly dry the structure. Continuous monitoring ensured that all affected areas—including walls, ceilings, and floors—were completely dry and stable before reconstruction began. After the drying process was complete, our restoration crew handled the full reconstruction, including replacing sheetrock, trim, baseboards, and flooring throughout the home. The result was a seamless return to pre-loss condition, with the homeowner thrilled to have their property fully restored. At United Fire & Water, we’re proud to be Baton Rouge’s top choice for water damage restoration, leaking water heater cleanup, and complete reconstruction services.
