On February 14, 2019, a fire at 3011 Edwin Avenue, a five-story co-op building in the Linwood Park complex, left 48 apartments a total loss, and 48 apartments next door were evacuated. A water main break has also opened a sinkhole on 16th Street between Edsall Boulevard and Anderson Avenue and cut water to a 15-story apartment building.
In a multifamily building, smoke and water travel through shared walls, halls, stairwells and ceilings, so units that never burned can still need cleaning and drying. We assess adjoining units, extract water, dry structure and remove smoke residue, and we work with building management and your insurer on documentation.
How We Handle Losses in Fort Lee
In apartment and co-op buildings, fire, smoke and water losses often involve neighbors above, below and beside the unit. Water main breaks can interrupt service to whole buildings. Fort Lee is also a member of the regional flooding and storm water group formed by Englewood.
Mold usually follows water in Fort Lee homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Fort Lee usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
