Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Damage of Louisiana recently completed a large-scale water damage restoration project in Baton Rouge, LA, after a pipe leak inside a wall caused extensive flooding across two connected residential units on Edgewater Drive. Unit 8650 sustained the most damage, with approximately 95% of the space affected. Our team arrived quickly and used a high-powered extraction truck to remove standing water. While the front bedroom remained dry, we removed all luxury vinyl tile (LVT), carpeting, and padding in the den and master bedroom. To promote effective drying, we also removed baseboards, shoe molding, and sheetrock in affected areas.

Solutions provided:

In Unit 8650, we placed professional-grade drying equipment and installed monitoring screws in the sill plates to track moisture levels. Our team followed IICRC-approved standards, setting a target moisture level of 15% to ensure the structure was completely dried and safe for repairs. This thorough approach helped us stabilize the property and prevent long-term issues like mold or structural deterioration — a critical step in any Baton Rouge water damage restoration project.

The adjacent unit at 8644 Edgewater also experienced significant water intrusion, though roughly 50% of the unit was affected. Similar steps were taken: standing water was extracted, LVT and wet carpet were removed, and drying equipment was installed. Baseboards, shoe molding, and affected sheetrock were taken out to facilitate efficient drying. This project in Baton Rouge, LA is a clear example of United Fire & Water’s commitment to quick response, expert restoration, and putting the needs of the property owner first.
