Completion date: February 18, 2026

Location: Millington, NJ

Solutions provided:

Kevin S. contacted PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration after a basement fire caused significant fire damage in his Millington, NJ home. The fire originated from an electrical equipment malfunction near the basement ceiling, igniting nearby joists and creating heavy smoke damage throughout the lower level of the Millington, NJ property. Thick soot damage coated the concrete foundation walls, exposed framing, and overhead beams, while smoke-damaged drywall and insulation had to be removed to prevent ongoing odor and contamination issues in Millington, NJ. Our team responded quickly to Millington, NJ to begin the fire restoration process, including debris removal, emergency board-up of a compromised basement window, and a comprehensive assessment for fire damage insurance claims. The homeowner’s fire damage cleanup in Millington, NJ was covered by insurance, and we coordinated directly with the carrier to document structural fire damage and contents loss. Industrial HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers were deployed immediately to capture airborne soot particles and improve indoor air quality inside the Millington, NJ residence.

Once stabilization was complete, our Millington, NJ fire damage restoration crew performed detailed soot removal from ceiling joists, support columns, and concrete walls using specialized cleaning agents and agitation techniques. Smoke odor removal treatments, including thermal fogging and hydroxyl generation, were conducted to neutralize persistent smoke odors embedded in porous building materials throughout Millington, NJ. Damaged insulation and charred framing sections were carefully removed as part of the structural fire cleanup, and antimicrobial applications were applied to prevent secondary issues during reconstruction. Duct system smoke removal was also recommended to eliminate residual smoke contamination circulating through the HVAC system in the Millington, NJ home. Throughout the basement fire damage cleanup in Millington, NJ, moisture readings and structural evaluations were documented to ensure the property was fully stabilized before rebuild. By combining emergency fire restoration services, thorough soot damage remediation, and comprehensive smoke odor removal, the Millington, NJ basement was safely prepared for reconstruction following the fire loss.
