Keeping Unaffected Areas Dust Free

SERVPRO of Piscataway is very proficient at building containment to insure dust does not impact non affected areas when doing demolition. This containment wall was put up to stop dust from a wood floor removal on the first floor from affecting the second floor of the house. The homeowners were grateful they did not have to clean their entire house when we were finished.

Use of Specialty Equipment

Air Flow Necessary

This photo was from underneath a set of basement stairs. There was no flood but humidity in the basement was at very high levels with no type of air flow. It is very important to have both a dehumidifier and air flow in damp basements

Hidden Mold

We were called to this Piscataway basement because the homeowner noticed a bad smell. They had a flood and thought there was no problem once the water on the floor was cleaned up but didn't realize that the walls were also affected. We had to do flood cuts all around.

Frozen Pipe Causes Damage

The homeowner of this house was very upset about the extent of damage caused to their home by a frozen pipe that burst during a  winter Jersey Nor'Easter. They were very pleased that we worked directly with their insurance to return their home to pre loss condition.

Never Leave Pots Unattended

Raining Indoors

During a New Jersey cold snap a pipe in this house burst while the homeowner was away and water ran for several days before being shut off. By the time we were called in the weather had warmed up. When we arrived the humidity inside the house was so high that these beads of water had formed on several ceilings and it was literally raining inside their house. This homeowner learned a very valuable lesson, albeit a little late, that it is a good idea to shut the water to the house off at the main when leaving for vacation.

Heavy Rain Burns out Sump Pump

During very heavy thunderstorms the sump pump in this Piscataway basement was overworked and burned out. By the time we were called in there was over 2 feet of water in this basement. Before the sump pump could be replaced we had to pump out the water using a submersible pump so the plumber can access the area where the sump pump was located. Sadly, this homeowner was storing a lot of things in the basement which were ruined. He has since learned to store things off the floor and to use plastic totes instead of cardboard boxes. Better late than never!

Unwanted Basement Visitors

The owner of this South Plainfield, NJ home was shocked to find mushrooms growing on their basement carpet. We discovered a slow leak from a supply inside the wall which kept the carpet wet for some time. Once the pipe was repaired and remediation complete no more mushrooms.

Ingenuity at Work

This is not the kind of waterfall you want to see in your house. Water had penetrated the concrete block foundation from a broken pipe in the wall. Once the water to the house was turned off we pumped out the basement.
