Miriam P. endured extensive fire damage in her East Hanover, NJ home after an electrical fire broke out in a second-floor bedroom, quickly spreading to an adjacent room and causing major structural and smoke-related damage. The fire originated from faulty wiring behind an outlet and rapidly consumed wall assemblies, furniture, and personal belongings before firefighters extinguished the blaze. In East Hanover, NJ, electrical equipment fires are among the most destructive, often requiring full-scale fire restoration, emergency board-up, and smoke odor removal. Both bedrooms sustained heavy soot buildup, burned drywall, and compromised ceiling joists. Fortunately, the homeowner’s insurance policy covered all phases of the restoration due to the accidental and sudden nature of the electrical failure.


The fire restoration team in East Hanover, NJ began with debris removal and stabilization, followed by detailed soot cleaning, charred material removal, and structural drying to address water left behind by firefighting efforts. Crews used thermal imaging to detect heat pockets and assess hidden damage behind walls and above ceilings. All smoke-damaged drywall, insulation, and contents were either restored or replaced, with advanced deodorization techniques applied using hydroxyl machines and thermal fogging. Electrical inspections and rewiring were conducted before reconstruction began. The job in East Hanover, NJ emphasized bedroom fire cleanup, electrical fire repair, and full-service fire damage insurance claim documentation, reflecting the serious impact of residential wiring failures.
