Burst Pipe Floods Multiple Condo Units

Water Restoration

Water damage, such as that from a burst pipe, is an everpresent threat that property owners face. The potential for a flood to damage your property can happen at any time, and it is never convenient to deal with. Recently, water damage impacted a condominium complex in North Bergen, leaving multiple units soaked with water. The affected residents banded together and called us to help mitigate the problem.

Restoring Condos after North Bergen Burst Pipe

This job, like many others we have been working on recently, was instigated by the colder weather. As we deal with freezing temperatures, it is important to remember that the water within our homes’ pipes becomes susceptible to freezing. When water freezes and turns to ice, its volume increases, which can cause the pipes to burst. Then, when they thaw, the water escapes the broken pipes and causes flooding, which leads to water damage, and in some cases mold.

As is with every water restoration, time was of the essence. The residents informed us that the damage was so bad that were evacuated from their condos in the middle of the night. They were already annoyed at the whole situation and they didn’t want the issues to linger any longer than necessary So, we got right to work.

During each of the restoration jobs, our main objective was to ensure the structure has been adequately dried out. We set out to do this by using our wet vacs on the affected areas, then we set up air movers and we let them run for three days. We supplemented this by taking periodic moisture readings in each space. This way, we documented the drying and assured the owners that progress was being made. This step is important to prevent secondary property damage, like mold.

The feedback we receive from our satisfied customers has been excellent. They were none too happy to have to deal with a burst pipe in the first place but said we made the whole process as painless as it could possibly be. They expressed their gratitude that their homes are as good as new.
