Job completed for Brian O. - Jefferson, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: March 23, 2025

Location: Jefferson, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Brian from Jefferson, NJ contacted PDQ Restoration after a small kitchen fire broke out while he was cooking on the stovetop. Although the flames were quickly extinguished, the smoke traveled rapidly through the ventilation system, leaving a layer of black soot on walls, ceilings, and furniture throughout the house. Concerned about lingering odors, air quality, and potential damage to surfaces, Brian turned to PDQ for expert Fire Damage Restoration and Smoke Damage Cleanup.

Solutions provided:

Our team arrived promptly at Brian’s Jefferson home and began with a full Fire Damage Assessment to determine the extent of the smoke and soot spread. While the kitchen sustained the most visible damage, fine soot particles had settled in nearly every room. Using specialized HEPA vacuums and dry-cleaning sponges, we carefully removed soot from all surfaces, including ceilings, baseboards, and personal belongings. Air scrubbers with activated carbon filters were placed throughout the Jefferson home to neutralize smoke odor and improve indoor air quality.

Once soot removal was complete, our technicians performed deep cleaning of HVAC vents and ducts to prevent further circulation of smoke particles. Every room in the house was treated with deodorizing agents and thermal fogging techniques to eliminate the smoky residue and smell at the molecular level. We also helped Brian with documentation for his Insurance Claims for Fire Damage, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish.

Thanks to PDQ Restoration’s comprehensive Fire and Water Damage Repair services, Brian’s Jefferson, NJ home was returned to its pre-fire condition—clean, fresh, and soot-free. From Emergency Fire Restoration Services to Soot Removal and Smoke Damage Cleanup, we were proud to provide the support and expertise needed during a stressful situation. Another Jefferson homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, knowing his home is safe, restored, and protected for the future.
