Job completed for Sims- water damage baton rouge

Completion date: April 10, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Damage of Louisiana recently responded to a complex water damage project in Baton Rouge, LA caused by a slab leak resulting from a lightning strike during a heavy rainstorm. The leak originated beneath the foundation, leading to water intrusion that affected walls, flooring, and surrounding cabinetry. Due to the extent of the damage, the vanity in the bathroom needed to be removed, and several walls were opened to access and assess the damage.

Solutions provided:

Our team began by carefully removing all water-damaged materials, including sheetrock, baseboards, the vanity, and saturated insulation in the exterior wall. We then placed commercial-grade drying equipment and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the structure to IICRC-approved standards. Continuous moisture monitoring ensured that all areas, including hidden cavities, reached safe humidity levels to prevent mold growth and long-term structural damage.

Once the drying process was complete, the affected areas were cleaned and sanitized to eliminate contaminants and odors. The Baton Rouge property was then prepped and stabilized for the necessary repairs and reconstruction work. This project highlights United Fire & Water’s expertise in managing unique water losses in Baton Rouge, LA, delivering fast, thorough, and policyholder-focused restoration services.
