Water damage can travel much farther than the area where a leak or water intrusion first becomes visible. Moisture may migrate beneath flooring, behind drywall, into cabinets, insulation, ceilings, wall cavities and adjoining rooms.

United Fire & Water provides professional water extraction, moisture detection, structural drying, dehumidification and moisture monitoring to help determine the extent of a water loss and establish an appropriate drying plan.

Our New Orleans restoration team responds to residential, multifamily, commercial and institutional water losses, ranging from localized plumbing leaks to large building-wide emergencies.

Common Causes of Water Damage in New Orleans

Some water losses occur suddenly while others develop gradually behind walls, beneath flooring or inside cabinets and ceilings.

Professional moisture detection can help identify affected materials beyond the damage that is immediately visible.

✓ Burst and broken pipes

✓ Water heater failures

✓ Hidden plumbing leaks

✓ Toilet and bathtub overflows

✓ Washing-machine and dishwasher leaks

✓ Refrigerator supply-line failures

✓ HVAC and condensation leaks

✓ Roof leaks

✓ Wind-driven rain

✓ Heavy rain and storm-related water intrusion

✓ Sewage and drain backups

✓ Commercial plumbing failures

✓ Firefighting-related water damage

Our New Orleans Water Damage Restoration Process

Every water loss is different. The restoration plan should be based on the source of the water, affected materials, contamination level and actual moisture conditions inside the property.

1

Emergency Response

We gather information about the loss, affected areas, source of the water and immediate property concerns.

2

Inspection & Moisture Detection

Professional moisture-detection equipment helps determine where water has traveled and which building materials are affected.

3

Extraction & Structural Drying

Excess water is removed and professional drying and dehumidification equipment is installed when appropriate.

4

Monitoring & Repairs

Moisture conditions are monitored until drying goals are reached. Repairs can follow when damaged materials require replacement.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in New Orleans

Fire damage frequently extends beyond the materials directly affected by flames. Smoke, soot, odor, heat and water used during firefighting can affect multiple rooms, building materials, furniture, electronics and personal or business contents.

United Fire & Water provides fire and smoke cleanup, soot restoration, smoke odor treatment, contents services, emergency stabilization, water extraction, structural drying and reconstruction after fire losses.

UFW also has documented fire and smoke restoration experience in New Orleans involving structural cleaning, contents cleaning and smoke odor treatment.

Plumbing leaks, roof leaks, storm-related water intrusion and elevated indoor moisture can create conditions that support mold growth.

Proper restoration involves addressing the moisture condition contributing to the problem as well as professionally remediating affected materials.

Sewage Backup Cleanup in New Orleans

Sewage backups and other contaminated water losses require a different restoration approach than a typical clean-water plumbing leak.

Depending on the loss, restoration may involve extraction, containment, removal of affected porous materials, cleaning, sanitizing, air filtration, structural drying and reconstruction.

Storm & Hurricane Damage Restoration in New Orleans

Heavy rainfall, tropical storms, hurricanes, roof damage, wind-driven water and severe weather can create widespread residential and commercial property damage.

Storm restoration may require water extraction, structural drying, temporary stabilization, contents protection, removal of materials that cannot be restored, mold remediation when necessary and reconstruction.

United Fire & Water has Louisiana catastrophe-response experience and can scale restoration resources for larger weather-related losses.

November 14, 2022 | New Orleans, LA

To address the issue, United Fire and Water performed demolition on the affected areas. The technician removed the damaged cabinet and microwave, allowing for a closer inspection of the underlying structure. During this process, a small amount of mold was discovered on the sheetrock, which was promptly removed. The affected area was then treated with an antimicrobial solution to prevent further mold growth and ensure a safe environment. Additionally, a new vent was installed in the attic to properly connect to the microwave and prevent future water buildup. To finish the restoration, drying equipment was placed in the attic to remove excess moisture and ensure that the area was thoroughly dried. After monitoring moisture levels for several days, the levels returned to normal limits. Once drying was complete, United Fire and Water installed a new cabinet and microwave, restoring the kitchen to its pre-damage condition. Ben was pleased with the thorough and effective solution provided, which not only addressed the immediate damage but also prevented future issues related to the roof leak. #waterdamage#firedamage#smokedamage

Our team provided comprehensive cleaning services to remove soot, smoke stains, and any other contaminants that had settled on the walls, ceilings, and surfaces throughout the home. In addition to the cleaning, deodorization services were performed to eliminate the persistent smoke odors that had permeated the space. We used specialized equipment and techniques to ensure that the home was thoroughly cleaned and freshened, restoring both the environment and the customer’s peace of mind. The personal contents, including furniture and belongings affected by the smoke, were carefully cleaned and deodorized as well. United Fire and Water utilized advanced cleaning methods to ensure that every item was properly treated and returned to the customer in its original condition. By the end of the job, the home was fully restored, with both the structure and the contents smelling fresh and free from smoke damage. The customer was relieved to have her property back to its pre-damage condition, and United Fire and Water ensured a thorough and effective restoration process. #waterdamage#firedamage#smokedamage

In response to the water intrusion, United Fire and Water swiftly mobilized to set up 36 pieces of drying equipment to address the damage and prevent further water from coming in. This included 20 air movers, 10 dehumidifiers, and 6 industrial-grade 2000 air scrubbers. These machines were strategically placed to dry the affected materials and purify the air. The team also took preventive measures to limit the amount of water entering the building until repairs could be made to the construction site. After running the drying equipment for an extended period, the moisture levels throughout the affected floors were brought under control. At the completion of the job, 77 air movers, 3 air scrubbers, and 17 axial fans remained in place to ensure continued drying and air circulation. With the equipment in place and the moisture successfully removed, United Fire and Water ensured that the building was dry and safe. The team’s fast response and thorough drying efforts helped prevent further damage and provided a solid foundation for repairs to the exterior of the new construction. #waterdamage#firedamage#smokedamage

Upon arriving on-site, United Fire and Water began setting up drying equipment and performing initial assessments. The team started with the third floor, removing baseboards from the exterior walls of the hallway and setting up equipment in each of the offices. Although 80% of the third floor had been addressed by the end of the day, containment was still needed to fully close off certain areas and ensure the drying process was effective. The team successfully pulled 100% moisture readings in all areas tested on the third floor, ensuring that moisture levels were actively being reduced. However, it became clear that some wet materials on the third floor might need to be removed to fully restore the space. The team also recognized the need for additional equipment to tackle the water damage on the fourth floor, particularly more air movers to enhance the drying process. United Fire and Water planned to have the fourth floor fully addressed by the end of the following day, with continued focus on minimizing invasiveness while ensuring that all affected materials were dried properly. The proactive setup of equipment and careful monitoring of moisture levels ensured that the building was on track for complete restoration, with further action to be taken as needed to fully restore both floors to their pre-damage condition. #waterdamage#firedamage#smokedamage

I called to ask whether they handle mold remediation and inspections; they said they handle remediation and referred me to a testing/inspection company to contact, and suggested I ask the inspector about licensing.
