Completion date: January 13, 2025

Location: Chester, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Brian contacted PDQ Restoration after a kitchen fire in his Chester, NJ home left behind extensive soot and smoke damage. The fire, caused by an overheated stovetop, was quickly extinguished but had already spread soot throughout the kitchen and adjoining rooms. Soot webs clung to the ceilings and corners, and the smell of smoke lingered heavily in the air. Brian needed professional help to restore his home and ensure it was safe for his family.

Solutions provided:

The PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly at Brian’s Chester, NJ home to assess the fire damage. They began by setting up air scrubbers with HEPA filtration to remove smoke particles from the air and improve indoor air quality. The team carefully cleaned and removed soot from all affected surfaces, including walls, ceilings, cabinets, and appliances, using specialized techniques to prevent further damage. Soot webs, often formed by ionized particles from the fire, were meticulously cleared from corners and high areas.

To address the pervasive smoke odor, the team employed thermal fogging and ozone treatments, neutralizing the smoke particles embedded in porous materials like walls, furniture, and fabrics. They also conducted a detailed inspection to identify areas requiring further attention, such as hidden soot deposits in ventilation ducts, which were cleaned to prevent lingering contamination.

Over the course of five days, PDQ Restoration worked tirelessly to restore Brian’s home in Chester, NJ. They coordinated with his insurance company to simplify the claims process and ensure coverage for the restoration. By the end of the project, the kitchen and surrounding areas were fully cleaned, deodorized, and safe for use. Thanks to PDQ’s swift and comprehensive efforts, Brian’s home was returned to its pre-fire condition, providing him peace of mind and a fresh start.
