Job completed for Lisa T. - Roxbury, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: January 23, 2025

Location: Roxbury, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Lisa contacted PDQ Restoration after a small electrical fire broke out in the basement of her Roxbury, NJ home. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, it left behind extensive soot and smoke damage throughout the basement and even spread a fine layer of soot to other parts of the house. Lisa was concerned about the lingering smoke odor, the potential health risks from soot exposure, and the need to restore her basement to its pre-fire condition.

Solutions provided:

Upon arrival, our team conducted a comprehensive Fire Damage Assessment to evaluate the full extent of the damage. We began by removing charred materials and debris from the basement to prepare the space for cleaning. Using specialized equipment, we performed a thorough Soot Removal process, meticulously cleaning walls, ceilings, floors, and all affected surfaces. Our advanced air scrubbers worked continuously to filter smoke particles and improve air quality throughout the home.

To address the persistent smoke odor, we applied professional-grade deodorization treatments, including thermal fogging, which neutralized the odors at their source. We also cleaned and sanitized salvageable items that were impacted by the fire and soot. Understanding Lisa’s concerns, we worked efficiently to ensure the basement was fully restored while minimizing disruption to her daily life.

Over the course of five days, PDQ Restoration transformed Lisa’s Roxbury, NJ basement from a soot-covered, smoke-damaged area into a clean and livable space. We provided detailed documentation to assist with her insurance claim, ensuring she received the support she needed for the restoration costs. Thanks to PDQ’s expert service, Lisa’s home is now free of soot, smoke, and odors, allowing her family to move forward with peace of mind.
