Job completed for A Brown- Fire Damage Restoration – Dryer Fire Cleanup in Baton Rouge, LA

Completion date: March 11, 2025

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

A homeowner in Baton Rouge, LA experienced a devastating house fire caused by a dryer, resulting in widespread smoke and soot damage throughout both levels of the property. The fire originated in the laundry area but caused the most extensive damage in the living room, with soot reaching every room on the first and second floors. United Fire & Water was contacted to perform full-service fire damage restoration and immediately began planning for remediation. We scheduled indoor environmental testing (IEH) for soot protocol development, set for May 1st or 2nd, to ensure a safe and compliant cleaning strategy.

Solutions provided:

Our next steps included coordinating a full contents pack-out, starting with the removal of salvageable items. Clothing and window treatments will be treated with ozone deodorization and sent out for professional dry cleaning. Remaining items will be cleaned offsite to eliminate smoke odor and soot residue. As contents are removed, we will begin selective demolition and structural cleaning throughout the home. Specialized cleaning methods, including dry ice blasting and soot removal solutions, will be used to restore the affected areas to a safe condition.

Additionally, the HVAC system will be fully replaced due to contamination, and the garage—also impacted by soot—will be cleaned during the pack-out phase. This Baton Rouge, LA fire damage restoration project highlights the importance of swift action and professional expertise in the aftermath of a house fire. United Fire & Water is proud to be the trusted provider for comprehensive fire and smoke damage cleanup in Baton Rouge, ensuring the homeowner can move forward safely and confidently.
