A recent storm damage project in Baton Rouge, LA left a commercial property dealing with unexpected water intrusion after heavy weather conditions impacted the structure. ⛈️🏢 Strong winds and rain forced water into the building, affecting the hallway and back office areas, including carpet, walls, and trim materials.
Our team responded quickly to assess the damage using moisture readings, infrared imaging, and detailed documentation. Water had spread throughout the carpet and into the lower portions of the walls, requiring immediate mitigation to prevent further structural issues and mold growth. We began by extracting water from the affected flooring and removing trim materials such as shoe molding and baseboards to expose hidden moisture.
To stabilize the environment, we applied antimicrobial treatments and set up professional drying equipment, including air movers and a dehumidifier, to remove moisture from both visible and concealed areas. In the back office, additional measures were taken to address deeper saturation within the wall system.
During the follow-up visit, moisture levels were confirmed to be within normal range. Equipment was removed, and the area was fully cleaned, HEPA vacuumed, and sanitized. Proper documentation and final scans were completed to close out the project. Quick response helped minimize long-term damage and restore the property efficiently after storm-related water intrusion.
