Job completed for Gerry S. - Haworth, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: June 15, 2025

Location: Haworth, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Gerry S. experienced a kitchen fire in his Haworth home, caused by an unattended stovetop that led to extensive smoke, soot, and fire damage. The fire spread quickly, affecting nearby rooms and requiring immediate emergency board-up and fire restoration. PDQ crews removed smoke-damaged drywall, cleaned soot from surfaces, and used advanced equipment for smoke odor removal. The HVAC system also underwent full duct system smoke removal. Gerry’s fire damage restoration in Haworth was fully covered by insurance.
The kitchen sustained the most severe fire damage, while smoke and soot impacted the living room, hallway, and bedrooms. Technicians followed certified fire restoration protocols to clean and deodorize all affected areas. Soot-damaged contents were packed out, professionally cleaned, and returned after clearance. Final air quality testing confirmed the Haworth home was safe for reentry and ready for repairs.
