Job completed for Stephanie K. - Chatham, NJ - Soot Damage

Completion date: October 27, 2026

Location: Chatham, NJ

Solutions provided:

Dark soot residue had collected on surfaces inside Stephanie K.'s home in Chatham, NJ, creating noticeable staining that required professional cleaning. When the PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration crew arrived, we inspected the affected areas, paying attention to the buildup around the window frames and surrounding trim. Soot particles can settle into small gaps and textured surfaces, making them difficult to remove with ordinary household cleaning products. Our technicians evaluated the condition of the affected materials before beginning the cleanup.

We carefully removed soot residue using cleaning methods appropriate for the surfaces involved. Our crew worked to prevent the particles from spreading while cleaning the stained areas and addressing any remaining contamination. After the initial cleaning, we inspected the surfaces again to determine whether additional treatment was needed. The work helped improve the appearance and cleanliness of the Chatham property, leaving the affected areas ready for any necessary touch-ups.
