Solutions provided:

Homeowner Jenna P. in Victory Gardens, NJ experienced a basement fire caused by a clogged lint trap in the clothes dryer, which led to a dangerous buildup of heat and eventual ignition. The fire was quickly contained but produced heavy smoke, soot, and fire damage throughout the laundry area and adjacent storage sections of the basement. Burnt drywall, melted plastic, and scorched framing were present around the dryer, and the entire space was contaminated with smoke odor and soot residue. Our fire damage restoration team arrived promptly to perform emergency board-up and begin the fire restoration process, which included removal of all charred materials and damaged appliances.

In Victory Gardens, NJ, the fire damage cleanup involved HEPA vacuuming of soot particles, structural cleaning of smoke-damaged surfaces, and full smoke odor removal using ozone and thermal fogging. The homeowner's fire damage insurance claim covered the cost of demolition, cleaning, and structural repairs. Our technicians also performed duct system smoke removal to prevent recontamination and replaced sections of smoke-damaged drywall in the basement. This basement dryer fire in Victory Gardens, NJ highlights the critical importance of lint trap maintenance and rapid response when appliance-related fires occur. The fire restoration process restored the Victory Gardens, NJ home to pre-loss condition, with all fire, smoke, and odor damage fully mitigated.
