Job completed for Matt R. - Chatham, NJ - Fire Damage

Following an electrical fire, Matt R.'s home in Chatham, NJ, sustained significant damage to the roof and interior of the residence. Sprinkler water traveled through multiple levels of the Cape Cod-style home and into the basement, creating additional water mitigation concerns. On arrival, PDQ reviewed the reported conditions, inspected visible damage, and discussed the possibility that the incident had disturbed asbestos-containing materials.

The restoration plan focused on evaluating affected areas and determining the appropriate steps for water mitigation, structural drying, and eventual smoke and soot remediation. Since the full extent of the damage remained uncertain, additional assessments were needed before the restoration work could safely move forward. We also advised involving a qualified environmental scientist to assess the reported asbestos and help establish safe re-entry conditions. This careful approach helped prepare the property in Chatham, NJ, for the next phase of recovery.
