Completion date: August 27, 2025

Location: Lake Mohawk, NJ

Solutions provided:

John S. experienced a furnace fire in Lake Mohawk, NJ, after a puff-back incident caused by a malfunctioning heating unit in the basement. During the fire department's response, multiple windows were broken to ventilate the smoke, allowing water and mud to pour into the basement during suppression efforts. The resulting fire and smoke damage was compounded by flooding and debris, creating extensive property damage throughout the Lake Mohawk, NJ, residence. Soot covered the walls and ceilings, and smoke odor permeated all levels of the home. The homeowner’s insurance covered the fire restoration and basement water cleanup, allowing the PDQ Restoration team to begin immediate remediation in Lake Mohawk, NJ.

The PDQ Restoration team deployed comprehensive fire damage restoration procedures, including Emergency Board-Up, Smoke Odor Removal, and Soot Damage cleanup. In the flooded basement, they performed water extraction, structure drying, and removal of wet insulation and water-damaged flooring. Smoke-damaged drywall and HVAC system components were removed to address contamination from the puff-back. Throughout the Lake Mohawk, NJ, property, specialized equipment was used for duct system smoke removal and dehumidification. Thanks to the insured claim, PDQ Restoration was able to fully restore the Lake Mohawk, NJ, home and eliminate all traces of the fire and water intrusion.
