Job completed for Marisa L. - Roxbury, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: November 21, 2025

Location: Roxbury, NJ

Solutions provided:

Marisa L. faced extensive fire and smoke damage at her Roxbury property after a sudden electrical panel malfunction caused a fast-moving structural fire. The electrical fire spread smoke throughout the Roxbury home, leaving heavy soot damage, smoke-damaged drywall, and charred framing that required a full fire restoration process. Emergency Board-Up services were performed immediately to secure the Roxbury structure and prevent additional exposure to wind and moisture. Technicians completed detailed assessments of soot infiltration and began smoke odor removal to address persistent smoke residues trapped in wall cavities. Because the loss was covered by the homeowner’s insurance, all fire damage insurance claim documentation was completed in conjunction with the cleanup. The initial phase of this Roxbury fire restoration project focused on stabilizing the structure, removing debris, and preparing the home for detailed cleaning and deodorization.

During the second phase of the Roxbury fire restoration process, crews performed deep cleaning of fire-damaged materials, including heavy soot removal from ceilings, floors, and trim. Specialized duct system smoke removal was necessary because the HVAC system circulated soot throughout multiple levels of the Roxbury residence. Technicians identified heat patterns similar to kitchen fire damage migration, requiring targeted thermal deodorization and encapsulation coatings. Additional attention was given to removing smoke-stained insulation and restoring areas affected by lingering smoke odor in the Roxbury home. HEPA vacuuming, structural dry wiping, and soot-sealing primers were applied to neutralize fire-related contaminants. By the conclusion of the job, the Roxbury property had been fully cleaned, stabilized, and readied for the reconstruction phase.
