Job completed for Michael R. - Dover, NJ - Fire Damage

Completion date: July 9, 2026

Location: Dover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Michael R. contacted PDQ Restoration after an electrical fire caused significant fire damage inside a home in Dover, NJ. The fire originated above the ceiling after an electrical malfunction, resulting in smoke damage, soot contamination, and damage to the ceiling structure before firefighters brought the incident under control. The fire damage restoration in Dover was covered by the homeowner's insurance policy, allowing emergency mitigation and reconstruction work to begin promptly. Restoration crews performed emergency board-up services where needed, removed fire-damaged materials, cleaned soot from structural surfaces, and began the fire restoration process throughout the affected areas of the Dover property. Smoke odor removal, HEPA air scrubbing, smoke-damaged drywall removal, insulation replacement, and duct system smoke removal were completed to eliminate contamination and improve indoor air quality. Throughout the fire damage insurance claim process, detailed documentation was maintained while technicians restored the fire-damaged home in Dover using industry-approved fire and smoke damage restoration procedures.

As reconstruction progressed in Dover, technicians focused on repairing the damaged ceiling structure by replacing fire-damaged framing, reinforcing overhead structural components, and preparing the area for new drywall installation. The attached work included structural fire repairs, ceiling reconstruction, and careful restoration of framing that had been compromised by the fire and firefighting efforts. Additional soot damage cleanup, smoke residue removal, thermal fogging, deodorization, and detailed cleaning of smoke-affected building materials were completed throughout the Dover residence. Every stage of the fire restoration process was performed to address hidden fire damage above the ceiling while ensuring the structure was safe for rebuilding. The combination of structural fire restoration, smoke damage cleanup, ceiling repairs, emergency mitigation, and fire damage reconstruction returned the affected areas of the Dover home to a stable condition. Once the structural repairs were completed, the property in Dover was ready for the final phases of reconstruction under the approved insurance restoration scope.
