Completion date: December 7, 2025

Location: Wanaque, NJ

Solutions provided:

Steven M. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration for fire damage cleanup at his home in Wanaque after a late-night electrical fire caused widespread smoke and soot damage. The property loss was traced to faulty wiring in a living room outlet, which ignited nearby materials and filled the home with heavy smoke. Although the fire department contained the flames quickly, the Wanaque residence sustained soot damage, smoke-damaged drywall, and strong smoke odors throughout multiple rooms. Our team responded promptly in Wanaque to perform emergency board-up services and stabilize the affected areas. A detailed fire damage inspection revealed smoke contamination inside wall cavities and within the HVAC system, requiring duct system smoke removal. The fire damage restoration in Wanaque was approved through the homeowner’s fire damage insurance claim, allowing work to begin without delay.

The fire restoration process in Wanaque included removal of fire-damaged materials, comprehensive soot cleanup, and professional smoke odor removal using proven restoration techniques.

HEPA air filtration and detailed surface cleaning were used to restore indoor air quality throughout the Wanaque home.

All fire restoration services in Wanaque were carefully documented to support the insurance claim and confirm proper restoration procedures. The fire damage cleanup in Wanaque concluded with a final inspection to ensure the property was fully cleaned and ready for reconstruction.
