Job completed for Lisa M. - South Bound Brook, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: July 13, 2025

Location: South Bound Brook, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Lisa M. in South Bound Brook experienced a kitchen fire caused by an unattended oven, resulting in extensive smoke damage throughout the home. Although the flames were quickly extinguished, the fire scorched cabinetry, blistered paint, and left behind heavy soot deposits across multiple surfaces. PDQ's fire damage restoration team was dispatched to South Bound Brook to begin emergency services, including soot removal and smoke odor mitigation. As part of the fire restoration process, crews set up hydroxyl generators to neutralize the persistent smoke odor that had permeated the drywall, ceiling tiles, and soft furnishings. Specialized HEPA vacuuming and chemical sponging techniques were used to clean all affected areas safely.

The South Bound Brook property required full HVAC duct cleaning to remove smoke residues from the air circulation system, along with the removal of smoke-damaged drywall in the kitchen and adjacent dining room. Our technicians conducted detailed assessments to identify hidden damage and ensure the structure remained sound. This fire damage restoration in South Bound Brook was fully covered by the homeowner’s insurance, streamlining both cleanup and repairs. Smoke odor removal remained a central focus throughout the job, with hydroxyl units operating continuously for several days to ensure total deodorization. The South Bound Brook residence was returned to a pre-loss condition, free from soot damage and lingering smoke smells, allowing reconstruction efforts to begin promptly.
