Solutions provided:

Homeowner Olivia J. in Stanhope, NJ experienced garage fire damage after a pressurized canister ignited and caused a flash fire that spread soot and smoke throughout the entire property. Though the flames were quickly extinguished, the intense heat scorched garage walls and contents, while smoke infiltrated the connected living spaces. PDQ’s fire restoration team arrived on-site to begin the fire damage restoration process, starting with soot removal from structural surfaces and personal belongings. Air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators were deployed to address the pervasive smoke odor and airborne particulates throughout the house. Technicians also cleaned out the HVAC system to remove smoke residue from the ductwork.

Garage fires in Stanhope, NJ frequently involve hazardous materials and result in both visible fire damage and extensive smoke damage to adjacent rooms. In this case, soot had settled on ceilings, walls, and household items across multiple floors, necessitating deep cleaning and odor neutralization. The homeowner’s fire damage insurance claim covered the mitigation costs, including structural cleaning, smoke odor removal, and air quality control. With many Stanhope, NJ properties featuring attached garages, even small fires can create large-scale restoration challenges. This fire damage job underscores the need for comprehensive cleanup and air purification following smoke and soot exposure in Stanhope, NJ homes.
