Detailed Condo Water Damage Restoration Offered in Scotch Plains
Condo Ceiling Water Cleanup
A condo ceiling soaked by the unit above is drained if it is holding water, wet drywall and insulation are removed and the ceiling cavity is dried.
Condo Appliance Leak Water Removal
Appliances are pulled out where possible so the floor and wall behind them can be dried, since water collects there unseen.

Indicators of Water Damage in Your Condo
Running Water Meter With All Fixtures Off
If the water meter moves with every fixture off, a supply line may be leaking inside a wall.
Ceiling Stains or Sagging
A stain, bulge or sag in the ceiling usually means water is coming from the unit or roof above.
Musty Odors in Rooms
A musty smell in a room or closet points to hidden moisture in walls, floors or the ceiling.
Discolored or Soft Drywall
Drywall that is soft, stained or crumbling has absorbed water and may need to be cut out.
How Condo Water Damage Restoration Works in Scotch Plains
Step 1: Emergency Water Extraction
The source is shut off and standing water is extracted from the unit, starting nearest the leak.
Step 2: Detailed Moisture Inspection
Meters check floors, walls and ceilings in the unit and the units beside and below it.
Step 3: Structural Drying and Dehumidification
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the unit, with readings taken every day until normal.

Once dry, surfaces are cleaned and framing that stayed wet can be treated before repairs.
