Fire Damage Restoration in Edison

Fire damage restoration in Edison requires understanding both the immediate cleanup and the extended rebuild. Older homes in Menlo Park Terrace and Clara Barton were built with electrical systems that predate modern load requirements — original Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that are known failure points and a contributing factor in residential fires nationwide. When a fire occurs, the damage extends well beyond the ignition room: smoke travels through HVAC ductwork, soot coats surfaces in every connected space, and suppression water saturates floors, walls, and insulation from attic to basement.

Our Edison fire restoration team secures the property within hours — boarding openings, tarping damaged roof sections, and fencing the site to prevent unauthorized access. We then perform a systematic room-by-room assessment, testing surfaces for soot type (protein, synthetic, or fuel-based) to determine the correct cleaning chemistry. Porous materials that absorbed smoke are catalogued for insurance inventory and removed for disposal or specialized off-site cleaning. We eliminate embedded odors using hydroxyl generators, which are safe for occupied spaces and won't damage electronics or rubber components the way ozone treatments can.

The rebuild phase in Edison follows a clear sequence: structural repair, mechanical systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), insulation and drywall, then finishes. We manage every trade, every inspection, and every insurance communication as a single point of contact.
