After Dryer Caught Fire, PuroClean Saves Million Dollar Home Sale

Fire Restoration

Whether you’ve done it yourself or you’ve just seen how hectic it is from a tv show or movie, many of us understand the stress of selling a home, packing up our life, and moving to a new place. But, imagine, just days away from closing the deal on the sale of your home, your dryer catches fire. Suddenly you’re not sure if the buyer will still be interested or how much you’ll have to pay to repair the damage in order to close. An already stressful situation has just become magnified. Unfortunately, this was the exact scenario our clients found themselves in until PuroClean stepped in to save the day.

PuroClean Steps in to Assist Local Family whose Dryer Caught Fire

Recently, our team was called to Jonesborough, Tennessee to the home of a doctor and his wife. The couple were in the middle of selling their house to a new family for $1.2 million. They were looking forward to closing and finalizing the sale soon and preparing for their move. With just two weeks remaining until closing, suddenly their dryer caught fire. Thankfully, both of the homeowners were fine, but our crew was needed to repair the damage caused when the dryer caught fire.

Knowing that the sale of the home was in jeopardy, we got to work immediately. The house was 11,000 square feet and required a slew of technicians and equipment to handle the mighty task. Even the areas of the home that were unaffected by the fire, had smoke smells that needed to be addressed.

Our crew did an incredible job getting the home back to its pre-loss condition. We worked hard getting everything packed out, cleaned, and deodorized. Without a moment to spare, we were able to complete the task and save the million-dollar deal. Our clients and the new homeowners were ecstatic with our work. Moving is stressful enough, we are happy we could restore some peace of mind.
