Job completed for Thomas S. - Randolph, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: July 22, 2025

Location: Randolph, NJ

Solutions provided:

A furnace puff back at the Randolph, NJ home of Thomas S. caused extensive fire damage and smoke contamination in the basement and living room, with soot spreading throughout the entire house. The malfunction triggered a small ignition event in the furnace, which propelled oily soot particles through the duct system and onto walls, ceilings, and furniture. In Randolph, NJ, furnace puff backs often result in widespread smoke odor, soot-covered surfaces, and the need for thorough duct system smoke removal. The fire damage restoration process began immediately and was covered by the homeowner's insurance policy.

At this Randolph, NJ property, fire restoration included deep cleaning of smoke-damaged drywall, HEPA vacuuming, and removal of porous materials saturated with soot. Technicians performed smoke odor removal using thermal fogging and ozone treatment, especially in the affected living room and basement areas. The fire damage also necessitated HVAC system cleaning to eliminate soot residue from the vents. In Randolph, NJ, puff back cleanup is complex due to the fine nature of soot and its ability to infiltrate every room through ductwork. This job required meticulous attention to detail to ensure all fire and smoke damage was properly mitigated and the home was safely restored.
