Solutions provided:

Anthony reached out to PDQ Restoration after a furnace puff back caused heavy soot to blanket the entire basement of his home in Pequannock, NJ. The sudden malfunction released thick, oily soot particles that coated walls, ceilings, and personal belongings, leaving behind a strong odor and dark residue. Concerned about the health effects and extensive contamination, Anthony knew he needed professional Fire Damage Restoration services immediately to restore his basement safely and effectively.

Upon arrival at the home in Pequannock, our certified technicians began with a comprehensive Fire Damage Assessment to evaluate the full scope of the puff back. We implemented Emergency Fire Restoration Services, setting up containment to prevent soot migration to the upper levels of the house. Using industry-leading tools for Smoke Damage Cleanup and Soot Removal, we carefully cleaned all hard and soft surfaces, including exposed ductwork, furniture, and appliances. The greasy nature of furnace soot required targeted treatments to fully break down and lift the particles without spreading them further.

Our team also used air scrubbers equipped with HEPA filters to purify the basement air and eliminate lingering odors. Thermal fogging was employed to neutralize smoke smells at a molecular level, ensuring the entire basement smelled clean and fresh. We worked closely with Anthony’s insurance provider to facilitate his Insurance Claims for Fire Damage, providing detailed documentation of the Fire and Water Damage Repair process and minimizing his stress throughout the cleanup.

Thanks to PDQ’s fast action and thorough restoration efforts, Anthony’s basement in Pequannock, NJ, was fully cleaned and free from the heavy soot contamination. What began as a stressful furnace puff back event ended with complete peace of mind. Residents of Pequannock can trust PDQ Restoration for expert-level Smoke Damage Cleanup and reliable service whenever fire-related incidents strike.
