Job completed for Brian T. - Boonton Township, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: February 15, 2026

Location: Boonton Township, NJ

Solutions provided:

Brian T. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after discovering visible soot residue on bathroom countertops and wall surfaces in his Boonton Township, NJ home. The soot damage was caused by a malfunctioning oil burner that created a puff-back, sending fine black soot particles through the HVAC system and into multiple rooms throughout Boonton Township, NJ. Although there was no active structural fire, the furnace-related smoke event left light but widespread soot contamination on horizontal surfaces, trim, and painted walls in Boonton Township, NJ. Our team performed a detailed inspection to assess the extent of smoke damage and confirm that the soot had traveled beyond the bathroom into adjacent living areas in Boonton Township, NJ. HEPA vacuuming and dry chemical sponge cleaning were immediately initiated to prevent further smearing of the oily soot residue. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the soot cleanup in Boonton Township, NJ due to the sudden and accidental nature of the furnace puff-back.

During the soot cleanup process in Boonton Township, NJ, technicians carefully cleaned countertops, cabinetry, walls, and fixtures using specialized soot removal products designed for oil-based smoke residue. Air scrubbers with HEPA filtration were installed throughout the Boonton Township, NJ property to capture airborne particulates and improve indoor air quality during the fire restoration process. The HVAC duct system in Boonton Township, NJ was inspected and cleaned to eliminate any remaining soot buildup and prevent recurring smoke odor issues. Deodorization treatments, including thermal fogging and odor neutralizing agents, were applied to fully remove lingering smoke smells from the Boonton Township, NJ residence. Detailed surface testing ensured that no additional soot damage remained on painted drywall, trim, or bathroom finishes. Upon completion, the Boonton Township, NJ home was restored to pre-loss condition following a comprehensive professional soot cleanup and smoke damage remediation service.
