New Jersey’s Fire & Smoke Damage Experts
RDC Restoration cleans, deodorizes, and restores fire-damaged New Jersey properties
RDC Restoration is a New Jersey fire damage restoration company serving homeowners, landlords, and businesses across Union, Middlesex, Somerset, Essex, and neighboring counties. From kitchen grease fires and electrical fires to full structure blazes, RDC Restoration secures the building, removes soot and char, eliminates smoke odor at the source, and restores your property — often saving contents and structure that look beyond hope.
A fire leaves far more than burned walls. Acidic soot etches glass, metal, and grout within hours, smoke odor drives deep into drywall, insulation, and HVAC ductwork, and the thousands of gallons of water used to fight the fire soak framing and subfloors. Left alone, that combination corrodes finishes, spreads odor through the whole building, and breeds mold. Because RDC Restoration operates from two New Jersey hubs — Berkeley Heights in Union County and Piscataway in Middlesex County — a certified crew can reach most of the state fast to stop that secondary damage before it compounds.
RDC Restoration follows IICRC fire and smoke restoration standards: stabilize and board up the structure, assess soot and smoke penetration, extract firefighting water and dry the structure, remove soot and char, deodorize with professional methods, clean and pack out salvageable contents, then restore your property to a clean, safe condition. You get one accountable New Jersey team from emergency board-up to the final walkthrough — and RDC Restoration bills your insurance carrier directly wherever possible.

Fire & smoke damage restoration questions
Does insurance cover fire damage restoration in New Jersey?
In most cases, yes — homeowners and commercial property policies typically cover fire, smoke, and the resulting water damage. RDC Restoration documents the loss, photographs the damage, and bills your insurance carrier directly wherever possible so you handle less paperwork. Call (908) 253-9000 to start your claim.
Can smoke odor be fully removed after a fire?
Yes. Smoke odor is not just masked — RDC Restoration removes it at the source using thermal fogging, ozone, and hydroxyl treatment, then seals surfaces where odor penetrated. This eliminates the deep smell drywall, insulation, and ductwork absorb during a fire. Call (908) 253-9000 for a free odor assessment.
How long does fire damage restoration take?
Timelines depend on how far the fire, soot, and smoke spread and how much cleanup and restoration is needed. RDC Restoration secures and stabilizes your property within hours, and provides a clear recovery timeline after the on-site assessment. Request a free estimate or call (908) 253-9000.
Is the water used to fight the fire a problem?
Yes — firefighting can leave thousands of gallons in your structure that soak framing, subfloors, and drywall and lead to mold if not dried fast. RDC Restoration extracts that water and dries the building to standard as part of fire recovery. See our water damage restoration page or call (908) 253-9000.
Can my contents and belongings be saved after a fire?
Often, yes. RDC Restoration inventories, packs out, cleans, and deodorizes salvageable furniture, electronics, documents, and personal items off-site, then returns them. Acting fast before acidic soot etches surfaces is what saves the most. Call (908) 253-9000 to protect your belongings.
