Water Damage Restoration & Environmental Abatement – New Brunswick, NJ | Paul Davis

Early signs include peeling paint or wallpaper near the window, musty odors, and small dark spots on the drywall. You might also notice dampness or discoloration along the sill. Because ice dams can push water under shingles and windows, these signs often appear in winter after heavy snow. Paul Davis will inspect the area, identify hidden moisture with meters, and begin drying to prevent mold growth, especially in older downtown New Brunswick row homes and condos.

First, we stop active water intrusion by removing ice dams from the roof and sealing the source. Then we extract standing water and begin drying affected drywall, insulation, and flooring. Because ice dams often cause unseen damage to roofs and ceilings, we conduct a thorough inspection. Our environmental abatement team also addresses any mold that develops behind walls, common in homes near Livingston Avenue or College Avenue where attic insulation may be insufficient.

Floodwater from storms carries contaminants, so immediate water extraction and sanitization are essential. We start with powerful pumps and industrial fans to dry the structure, then remove damaged drywall and flooring to prevent mold. Following that, we perform environmental abatement to neutralize hazards before rebuilding. Given the low-lying areas around the Raritan River and neighborhoods like Lincoln Park, fast action is key to saving belongings and avoiding long-term structural damage.
