Laura K. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration for professional soot damage cleanup in Dover, NJ after smoke residue was discovered inside a bathroom following a minor kitchen fire. The cause of the soot damage was a small kitchen fire that generated heavy smoke, which traveled through the home and deposited fine soot particles on bathroom walls, fixtures, and finished surfaces in Dover, NJ. Although flames were limited to the kitchen, airborne soot migrated through doorways and ventilation paths, affecting the bathroom in Dover, NJ. Visible staining was noted on painted surfaces, countertops, and smooth fixtures, along with light smoke odor concerns. Our team completed a detailed fire and soot damage inspection to evaluate surface contamination and smoke residue levels in the bathroom area of Dover, NJ. This soot damage loss in Dover, NJ was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy and approved for professional cleanup services.

The soot damage cleanup process in Dover, NJ involved careful hand cleaning of bathroom surfaces using specialized soot sponges and fire-safe cleaning agents.

Special attention was given to corners, edges, and horizontal surfaces where soot accumulation was most noticeable.
