Job completed for Derek F. - Fairfield, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: August 22, 2025

Location: Fairfield, NJ

Solutions provided:

Derek F. experienced a hazardous garage fire in his Fairfield, NJ home when an electrical short involving stored power tools inside plastic bins ignited and rapidly filled the space with flames and thick smoke. The fire damaged shelving, electrical outlets, and storage areas, while releasing dense soot that coated the ceiling, garage door, and surrounding surfaces. In Fairfield, NJ, electrical fires in garages are especially dangerous due to the presence of flammable materials and enclosed spaces with limited ventilation. The homeowner's insurance policy recognized the incident as a covered loss, enabling prompt action on fire damage cleanup, soot removal, and smoke odor elimination.

The Fairfield, NJ fire restoration team began with a comprehensive assessment and removal of all fire-damaged contents, including melted plastic storage bins and charred tools. Surfaces were cleaned using HEPA vacuums and dry-chemical sponges to eliminate loose soot, followed by the application of odor-neutralizing agents. The affected electrical circuits were isolated and repaired to restore safe power use, and the garage's duct system was inspected for smoke infiltration. Technicians also performed thermal fogging and ozone treatment to neutralize persistent odors embedded in structural materials. This Fairfield, NJ job emphasized the importance of rapid response in garage fire damage, thorough soot cleanup, and careful handling of electrical fire hazards in residential properties.
