Location: Sparta, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Teresa M. in Sparta, NJ sustained attic fire damage after a television in the garage below overheated and ignited, sending flames and smoke upward into the attic space. The fire traveled through wall cavities, causing charring to attic rafters, insulation, and roof decking. Our Sparta, NJ fire damage restoration team responded promptly, securing the property and conducting a full structural and smoke damage assessment. While the garage fire was quickly extinguished, the attic suffered heavy smoke saturation, requiring specialized fire restoration procedures.

The Sparta, NJ fire restoration process included removal of fire-damaged insulation, deodorization of attic materials, and targeted cleaning of soot-covered rafters and joists. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration systems and ozone treatments were deployed to neutralize lingering smoke odor throughout the upper structure. The fire damage restoration in Sparta, NJ was covered by the homeowner's insurance policy, allowing for a full scope of remediation. After structural drying and final air quality testing, the attic was cleared for reconstruction. This Sparta, NJ fire incident highlights the potential for electrical appliance fires to cause secondary attic damage through heat and smoke migration.
