About Elizabeth Baresh:


When my son, Matthew was 7 years old, he wrote an essay about me and said, amongst other things, that I was, “careful and nice.” We laugh about that…but it is true. I treat my client’s emergencies as if they were my own. I am continually learning in this industry and love what I do. I love gnomes and pretty much anything sparkly and pink. I’ve been known to show up at a water loss in some pretty fun, girly footwear, but I don’t care – the client comes first! I wish I could garden, but I can’t. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching Ozark, Yellowstone (Hi Rip!) and Breaking Bad. I believe in throwing kindness like confetti. Life is too short – go live it!!

Customers love working with Elizabeth Baresh

Posted on PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration

I am definitely one of those people that will only write a remarkable review if it is truly deserved. So here it is...I moved into a home two weeks ago, three days later the main pipe backed up which resulted open drain throughout the house being a mess. It was a Sunday and had to call a Mr. Rooter Man to make an emergency home visit. After he came and drain the pipe, a huge mess was left. I called several different places and everyone wanted a very highly priced amount just to come out and give an estimate. I then came across PDQ and all I could say is, they were literally and figuratively a breath of fresh air! Elizabeth answered the phone and was extremely pleasant and very comforting. Not only was there no charge for coming out for an estimate but the representative John was at my front door within the hour! John who is not only so knowledgeable, but assessed the problem efficiently and thoroughly. He went through a very full description of what needed to be done then gave me a very descriptive detailed diagnosis of what needed to be done going forward. He provided his personal cell phone number with me so if I had any additional questions or concerns he was always reachable. Even when he was on another job his callbacks were quick and prompt. He was actually very helpful with providing other services that were needed to fix and complete this problem. I would absolutely 150% recommend this company to anyone that is in need of their services.Their staff is not only personable, knowledgeable but are quick working! The other companies had me waiting 2 to 3 days before they could even come to give an estimate. Thanks Elizabeth and John, it was a not so much of a good thing having your pipes back up, but you guys made it so much easier to get through!

Hackettstown, NJ

September 29, 2025

Brandon H.’s finished basement in Hackettstown, NJ sustained serious water damage that led to extensive mold growth across the floor and lower wall sections. The cause was a previously undetected leak that had saturated the basement carpet and subfloor over several weeks, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration was brought in to handle both water damage mitigation and black mold remediation. In Hackettstown, water damage in finished basements often leads to structural mold when moisture is trapped beneath flooring or behind baseboards. The restoration process included water extraction, mold inspections & remediation, and controlled demolition of mold-damaged materials. Brandon’s homeowner’s insurance covered the loss through a combined water damage and mold remediation insurance claim in Hackettstown.

Blairstown, NJ

August 22, 2025

Wade L. discovered extensive water damage inside his log cabin-style home in Blairstown, NJ after a roof leak developed above the main living area during recent rainfall. Water intruded through compromised shingles and underlayment, seeping behind the exterior roofing system and showing visible wetness along the interior log walls. In Blairstown, NJ, roof leak water damage poses unique challenges in log homes, as moisture can settle deep within timber, leading to wood rot, mold growth, and long-term structural deterioration. The source of the leak was traced to a failed flashing section around a vent stack, and the homeowner’s insurance covered the restoration due to the sudden nature of the loss.

Technicians in Blairstown, NJ performed targeted water extraction and used moisture meters to assess water infiltration depth within the log walls and ceiling assembly. High-capacity LGR dehumidifiers and air movers were installed to initiate thorough structure drying, with special attention paid to the logs’ natural porosity. Surface drying alone was insufficient—so borate-based antimicrobial treatments were applied to inhibit mold spores and wood decay. The restoration team documented moisture levels daily to ensure the home reached proper dry standards, completing a comprehensive roof leak repair and water damage cleanup. In Blairstown, NJ, water intrusions in log cabins require specialized knowledge to address wet log walls, roof structure drying, and the prevention of hidden mold growth within solid wood.
