Why did the customer contact us?

Catherine reached out to PDQ Restoration after an electrical fire in the basement of her South Orange, NJ home spread soot throughout multiple levels of the house. The fire had left a layer of soot covering walls, ceilings, and furniture, with a noticeable smoky odor lingering in the air. Concerned about the soot residue and air quality, Catherine needed professional help to clean and restore her South Orange home.

Solutions provided:

PDQ Restoration promptly arrived at Catherine’s property in South Orange, NJ, and began a thorough assessment of the smoke and soot damage. Using specialized equipment, the team set up air scrubbers to purify the air and eliminate any remaining smoke odor. They meticulously cleaned all affected surfaces, from walls and ceilings to personal items, ensuring no soot residue remained.

The team worked carefully to clean even hard-to-reach areas, as soot particles had settled in various spots throughout the home. Deodorizing treatments were also applied to fully eliminate the smoky smell and restore a fresh environment. Over the course of five days, PDQ’s efforts brought the house back to a clean and safe condition. Most of the restoration costs were covered by Catherine’s insurance, leaving her responsible only for the deductible. Thanks to PDQ’s thorough response, Catherine’s South Orange home was left soot-free, fresh, and comfortable once again.
