Job completed for Anthony J. - Sparta, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: September 27, 2025

Location: Sparta, NJ

Solutions provided:

Anthony J.’s home in Sparta, NJ suffered extensive fire damage after faulty electrical wiring ignited along the side wall of his attached garage. The fire quickly spread through the garage's structural framing, producing heavy smoke, soot damage, and charring on adjacent drywall and ceiling joists. PDQ Fire & Water Damage Restoration arrived promptly to perform emergency board-up, secure the structure, and begin the fire restoration process. In Sparta, garage fire restoration often requires comprehensive soot removal, demolition of burned materials, and deodorization for smoke odor removal. Anthony’s fire damage insurance claim in Sparta covered all cleanup and reconstruction phases, including debris removal and smoke-damaged drywall replacement.

The Sparta fire damage restoration project included thermal fogging for smoke odor elimination, HEPA vacuuming of soot particles, and removal of fire-damaged insulation within the garage walls and ceiling. The attached garage's proximity to the main home meant duct system smoke removal was necessary to prevent cross-contamination. In Sparta, fire restoration services also involve thorough inspection of electrical systems before reconstruction, especially when faulty wiring is the fire’s origin. PDQ documented all fire damage in Sparta with photos, moisture and soot logs, and scope of work records for insurance purposes. Once the structure was cleared and cleaned, repairs began on the garage’s framing, electrical system, and interior finishes to restore the space to pre-fire condition.
