Job completed for Sarah U. - Morristown, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: February 24, 2025

Location: Morristown, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Sarah contacted PDQ Restoration after a grease fire broke out in her Morristown, NJ kitchen. Though the flames were quickly extinguished, the fire left behind extensive smoke damage, soot-covered walls, and a strong odor that spread throughout the house. Concerned about lingering smoke particles and the potential health risks of soot exposure, Sarah knew she needed professional fire damage restoration services to restore her home safely.

Solutions provided:

Upon arrival, our team immediately set up containment barriers to prevent soot and smoke residues from spreading to unaffected areas. We then deployed HEPA air scrubbers to filter out airborne contaminants and improve indoor air quality. Using specialized dry and wet cleaning techniques, we carefully removed soot from kitchen surfaces, cabinets, and ceilings, ensuring that no residue was left behind. All affected appliances and fixtures were thoroughly cleaned and deodorized to remove smoke odors.

To fully restore Sarah’s kitchen, we applied an advanced thermal fogging treatment and hydroxyl generators to neutralize any remaining smoke odors embedded in porous materials. Our team also performed a detailed inspection to assess structural integrity, replacing any drywall and insulation that had been compromised by fire and smoke damage. Once the restoration was complete, we worked with Sarah’s insurance company to streamline the claims process and reduce out-of-pocket costs.

In just a few days, PDQ Restoration successfully restored Sarah’s home in Morristown, NJ, making it safe, clean, and free of fire damage. Thanks to our expert containment methods and HEPA filtration, her family could return to a fresh, odor-free home without the worry of lingering smoke and soot particles.
