Job completed for Jordan T. - Stanhope, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: November 24, 2025

Location: Stanhope, NJ

Solutions provided:

Jordan T. experienced major fire and smoke damage at his Stanhope home after an electrical outlet failure sparked a fast-moving structural fire in the family room. Heavy soot damage spread through the Stanhope property, contaminating ceilings, trim, and smoke-damaged drywall across multiple floors. Emergency Board-Up services were completed immediately to secure the structure and protect the Stanhope residence from further weather intrusion. Technicians initiated the fire restoration process with detailed soot removal, HVAC inspection, and duct system smoke removal to address widespread smoke circulation. Because the loss was covered by the homeowner’s fire damage insurance policy, all fire damage insurance claim documentation was coordinated during cleanup. Early efforts also focused on smoke odor removal and the safe extraction of charred debris to prepare the Stanhope home for deep structural cleaning.

During the second phase of the Stanhope fire restoration project, crews performed HEPA vacuuming, dry chemical sponge cleaning, and targeted soot removal on all affected building materials. Thermal deodorization and ozone treatments were used to neutralize trapped smoke odors that had penetrated cavities throughout the Stanhope property. Technicians uncovered additional heat patterns similar to kitchen fire damage migration, requiring encapsulation coatings on exposed framing. Smoke-stained insulation was removed, and fire-damaged surfaces were cleaned, sealed, and prepped for reconstruction. Detailed duct system smoke removal ensured fine soot particles would no longer recirculate inside the Stanhope home. By the end of the job, all fire and smoke contaminants had been eliminated, and the structure was fully stabilized for the rebuilding phase.
