Job completed for Callie J. - Blairstown, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: November 28, 2025

Location: Blairstown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Callie J. experienced extensive fire and smoke damage at her Blairstown home after a faulty space heater caused a sudden ignition that spread into nearby furniture and structural components. Heavy soot damage traveled throughout the Blairstown property, coating ceilings, trim, and smoke-damaged drywall across several rooms. Emergency Board-Up services were completed immediately to secure the structure and prevent further weather intrusion in Blairstown during the initial inspection phase. Technicians began the fire restoration process with detailed soot removal, smoke odor removal, and documentation for her fire damage insurance claim, which was fully covered by her policy. The HVAC system showed significant soot infiltration, requiring full duct system smoke removal. Early cleanup efforts also focused on the safe extraction of charred debris and stabilization of burned materials to prepare the Blairstown residence for deep structural cleaning.

During the second phase of this Blairstown fire restoration project, crews performed comprehensive HEPA vacuuming, dry chemical sponge cleaning, and targeted soot removal on all fire-damaged building materials. Thermal deodorization and ozone treatments were applied to eliminate stubborn smoke odors that had penetrated wall cavities throughout the Blairstown home. Additional inspection revealed heat migration patterns similar to electrical equipment fire damage, prompting the use of encapsulation coatings on exposed framing. Smoke-stained insulation was removed to restore indoor air quality and prevent soot particles from resettling. Technicians completed advanced duct system smoke removal to ensure the HVAC unit no longer circulated contaminants inside the Blairstown property. By the end of the project, the structure was thoroughly cleaned, stabilized, and ready for the reconstruction phase.
