Residential Fire Damage Repair
A house fire can be one of the most traumatic events a homeowner ever faces. Beyond the visible damage, lingering smoke, soot, and moisture can make your home unsafe and uninhabitable. MaxClean Restoration provides compassionate and thorough fire damage repair in Freehold and throughout New Jersey to help you reclaim your home. We begin by assessing the extent of the fire damage, including structural concerns and areas affected by smoke and water. We then remove debris, clean up hazardous soot, and sanitize the property to eliminate health risks. Using state-of-the-art techniques, our contractors restore damaged areas and ensure your home is safe for your family. We will always work with your insurance company to try and minimize both out-of-pocket costs and risk.

We use advanced equipment and proven methods to clean surfaces, and sanitize the space to protect employees and customers.

Smoke Damage Restoration
Smoke damage can linger long after a fire is extinguished, leaving unpleasant odors and harmful particles throughout your property. MaxClean Restoration specializes in smoke damage restoration in New Jersey, focusing on the complete removal of odors and residues. Using modern techniques and tools, our process includes treating walls, ceilings, carpets, and HVAC systems to ensure the air quality in your property is safe and fresh. With our expertise, you can feel confident that your home or business will be free from smells or residue.
What To Do Before We Arrive
If it is safe to enter your property, there are a few steps you can take to minimize damage and create a safer environment before our team arrives. When weather permits, open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate through the structure. Protect high-traffic carpeted areas, rugs, and upholstery by covering them with linens or towels. If power will be interrupted during restoration, unplug and empty refrigerators and freezers, leaving their doors open to avoid odors. Additionally, replacing HVAC filters can help improve air quality as restoration begins. We understand how overwhelming this time can be, and we’re here to take over as soon as we arrive.
What NOT To Do Before We Arrive
While waiting for our team to arrive, it’s important to prioritize safety and avoid actions that could worsen the situation. Please don’t touch items covered in soot with your bare hands, as contaminants can seep into your skin, and the oils from your hands may cause permanent staining. Avoid consuming any food or beverages, including canned or packaged items, that may have been exposed to fire, heat, water, or firefighting chemicals. Refrain from turning on ceiling lights if the fixtures might have gotten wet, and don’t attempt to clean or plug in electrical devices until they’ve been inspected, as they could pose a fire or electrical hazard. We will be on the scene soon after you call and get to work immediately on the restoration of your property.

House Smells Like Smoke or Soot on the Walls?
After a fire, people usually search for what they're living with: a house that smells like smoke weeks later, black soot on the walls and ceiling, a kitchen fire or grease fire that left a film over every cabinet, or water damage from the fire department putting the fire out. Even a small fire can spread smoke and soot through the whole home, and wiping it yourself often smears it deeper.

We're open 24/7, typically respond within about an hour, and work with your insurance company, billing them directly. Call 732-539-2942.
Fire & Smoke Damage FAQs
Is it safe to stay in my home after a fire?
Not until the fire department says it is safe. Even after small fires, soot and smoke residue can be irritating, so limit time in affected areas.
Can smoke odor be removed completely?
In most cases, yes, with thorough cleaning of affected surfaces and professional deodorization. Air fresheners only mask it.
Should I clean soot myself?
We don't recommend it. Wiping soot can smear it into surfaces and make it harder to remove.
What can be saved after a fire?
Many hard surfaces, furniture and belongings can be cleaned. We assess items individually and document anything that can't be restored for your claim.
Do you handle the repairs too?
Yes. After cleanup we handle reconstruction, from drywall and paint to larger rebuilds.
Why does my house still smell like smoke after a fire?
Smoke particles settle into drywall, insulation, carpet, fabrics and ductwork, so the smell keeps coming back even after surfaces look clean. It has to be cleaned and treated at the source. MaxClean handles smoke odor removal for homes and businesses; call 732-539-2942.
I had a small kitchen fire. Do I need a professional?
Often, yes. Even a small kitchen or grease fire can leave soot and smoke residue in other rooms, cabinets and vents. We can assess the damage, clean it properly and work with your insurance company. We're available 24/7 at 732-539-2942.
