Job completed for Gouiver- AC Line Leak- Water Damage

Completion date: May 8, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire and Water responded to a residential water damage emergency in Baton Rouge, LA, caused by a leaking A/C line. The homeowner noticed signs of moisture, and our team arrived promptly with professional moisture meters to perform a full scope. We discovered that water had traveled through the walls into multiple rooms, affecting both drywall and hardwood flooring. The extent of the damage required immediate mitigation to prevent further deterioration and mold growth.

Solutions provided:

To address the issue, our team in Baton Rouge, LA began by removing the damaged wood flooring and saturated insulation. We performed a 2-foot flood cut around the affected walls to eliminate trapped moisture and allow for effective drying. Industrial-grade drying equipment was placed throughout the impacted areas to bring the structure back to IICRC-approved moisture standards. This step is critical to ensure all hidden moisture is addressed before reconstruction begins.

Once the area is fully dry, United Fire and Water will begin the restoration phase by replacing the insulation, installing new sheetrock, and laying new hardwood flooring to match the original design. Our goal is to return this Baton Rouge, LA home to its pre-loss condition with quality craftsmanship and minimal disruption to the homeowner.
