Job completed for Kevin R. - Sparta, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: November 23, 2025

Location: Sparta, NJ

Solutions provided:

Kevin R. experienced extensive fire and smoke damage at his Sparta residence after an overheated power strip caused an electrical equipment fire that spread quickly across the living room. Heavy soot damage traveled through the Sparta home, affecting ceilings, trim, and smoke-damaged drywall in multiple rooms. Emergency Board-Up services were performed immediately to secure the structure, preventing additional weather exposure in Sparta during the initial assessment phase. Technicians documented widespread soot infiltration inside the HVAC system, which required detailed duct system smoke removal and deep cleaning. Because the fire loss was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy, all fire damage insurance claim documentation was completed alongside the fire restoration process. Early cleanup efforts focused on debris removal, charred material extraction, and targeted smoke odor removal to prepare the Sparta property for full remediation.

In the second phase of this Sparta fire restoration project, crews performed comprehensive soot removal using HEPA vacuuming, dry sponging, and specialized chemical cleaning to treat all structural components. Smoke odor removal techniques—including thermal fogging and ozone application—were used to eliminate persistent odors throughout the Sparta residence. Additional inspection revealed areas of heat migration similar to kitchen fire damage patterns, prompting further deodorization and encapsulation of exposed framing. Fire-damaged insulation was removed, and technicians applied soot-sealing primers to prevent smoke bleed-through on repaired surfaces. The duct system received a full smoke remediation treatment to stop circulation of fine soot particles in the Sparta home. By the conclusion of the project, the structure was fully stabilized, deeply cleaned, and ready for the reconstruction phase with all fire and smoke contaminants removed.
