Job completed for Diane K. - Pequannock, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: November 20, 2025

Location: Pequannock, NJ

Solutions provided:

Diane K. experienced significant fire damage at her Pequannock home after an electrical equipment failure caused a small but fast-spreading structural fire in the rear utility room. The electrical fire triggered heavy soot damage and left smoke-damaged drywall throughout the Pequannock property, requiring a full fire restoration process with detailed smoke odor removal. Emergency Board-Up services were performed immediately to secure the structure and prevent additional weather-related damage in Pequannock. During initial inspection, technicians documented extensive soot infiltration in the HVAC duct system, which required specialized duct system smoke removal to eliminate persistent smoke residues. Since the fire loss was covered by the homeowner’s fire damage insurance policy, all fire damage insurance claim documentation was prepared alongside the restoration procedures. This comprehensive approach ensured efficient cleanup of charred materials, removal of damaged insulation, and safe preparation of all affected rooms for structural repair.

In the second phase of the Pequannock fire restoration project, crews focused on deep cleaning fire-damaged building materials and removing embedded soot particles from interior surfaces throughout Pequannock. Advanced smoke odor removal techniques were used to treat structural framing, subfloors, and penetrated cavities to neutralize odor sources instead of masking them, which is essential in a Pequannock fire restoration job. Kitchen fire damage indicators were identified near adjacent spaces, suggesting heat migration and requiring additional thermal deodorization. Technicians removed all smoke-stained insulation and performed targeted HEPA vacuuming to capture fine soot particulates. Detailed cleaning of ceilings, walls, and trim was combined with encapsulation coatings to seal any remaining fire residues. By the time the project concluded, the Pequannock home was fully stabilized, free from hazardous soot, and ready for the final reconstruction phase.
