Anthony P. reached out to PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after a kitchen fire caused extensive fire damage and soot contamination in his Hanover, NJ home. The fire originated from unattended cooking on the stovetop, resulting in heavy smoke damage that spread throughout the kitchen and adjacent rooms in Hanover, NJ. Although the flames were quickly extinguished, thick soot residue coated the range hood, cabinetry, walls, and ceiling surfaces, leaving visible smoke staining and strong smoke odor. Our team responded to the fire damage emergency in Hanover, NJ by performing an immediate assessment and initiating the fire restoration process. Emergency board-up was not required, but detailed containment procedures were implemented to prevent soot particles from spreading further during cleanup in Hanover, NJ. The fire damage insurance claim for the Hanover, NJ property covered smoke odor removal, soot damage cleanup, and restoration of smoke-damaged drywall and painted surfaces.

Technicians began the soot cleanup in Hanover, NJ using specialized dry sponges and HEPA vacuum systems to remove loose soot from cabinets, countertops, and the vent hood system. The duct system smoke removal process was completed to eliminate lingering smoke particles within the HVAC system and prevent recurring smoke odors in the Hanover, NJ residence. All affected surfaces underwent deep cleaning, degreasing, and deodorization treatments designed specifically for kitchen fire damage and electrical equipment fire residue. Thermal fogging and air scrubbing equipment were deployed to neutralize airborne contaminants and fully restore indoor air quality in Hanover, NJ. Any fire-damaged materials beyond salvage were carefully removed and prepared for repair as part of the structured fire restoration process in Hanover, NJ.
