Completion date: October 2, 2024

Location: Mountain Lakes, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Sid’s home in Mountain Lakes, NJ, suffered severe fire damage when a large fire erupted in the basement and quickly spread to the first floor. The intense heat and flames caused significant destruction before the fire department arrived to extinguish the blaze. While the fire was contained, the effort to put it out resulted in extensive water damage throughout the first floor, particularly affecting the ceiling and flooring, due to the large volumes of water used by the firefighters.

Solutions provided:

PDQ Restoration was called to Sid's property in Mountain Lakes, NJ, to address both the fire and water damage. Upon arrival, the team began by stabilizing the structure and assessing the damage across the affected areas. They promptly removed the damaged materials, including portions of the ceiling and walls on the first floor, and set up dehumidifiers and air movers to dry out the remaining moisture from the fire department’s efforts. The PDQ crew worked diligently to clear out all fire-damaged materials while ensuring proper ventilation and air quality in the home.

The entire restoration process at Sid's Mountain Lakes, NJ, home took about seven days, and was handled through his insurance company, leaving Sid only responsible for his deductible. Thanks to PDQ, the home was fully stabilized and prepared for rebuild, with all fire and water damage mitigated.
