Leonia Cleanup and Restoration

How Fire Damage and Water Damage Impact Leonia Homes

Leonia, NJ, initially called West Fort Lee, was named in honor of American Revolutionary War General Charles Lee. The borough has several Historic places, including the Cole-Allaire House, constructed around 1765, and the Civil War Drill Hall and Armory. Another one is The Vreeland House, built in 1786 by Dirck Vreeland. The Leonia Sculpture Garden is also located on the corner of Beechwood Avenue & Broad Avenue. While walking, you can spot public sculptures in several locations, like in front of the Methodist Church, Station Park, and Broad Avenue. The sculptures include Grand Cheval de Leonia, Dreams of Glory, Meissen Cow, Turkeys, and the Welcome Post to the Borough. 

Leonia, NJ, is home to the Players Guild of Leonia, the longest-running theatre troupe in New Jersey and one of the oldest community theatre groups in the state, staging performances since 1919. The borough has also been home to Summerstage at Leonia, which produces an annual Broadway-style family musical each summer. Summerstage performances were initially held in the Leonia High School Little Theater, but the productions now occur at the Civil War Drill Hall Theater. Leonia Arts provides a calendar of arts events in the borough.

Professional Water Damage Restoration in Homes       

Persistent moisture affects finishes, including paint, wallpaper, and flooring. Moisture causes paint to blister and flake, often revealing more profound drywall damage. Wooden floors can warp or buckle, and if left unchecked, these cosmetic damages can require replacements. SERVPRO® approach depends on the extent of damage, the type of finish, and how long the water has been present, including;

• Applying stain-blocking primers before repainting
• Sanding and repainting
• Dry wooden floors immediately to prevent buckling

Fire Damage on Countertops and Cabinetry

Wooden cabinets scorch or ignite, while smoke embeds deep into the material. Laminated cabinetry often melts. While stone countertops may withstand heat, intense temperatures can cause cracking. SERVPRO crews use dry chemical sponges or specialized cleaners to lift soot from cabinet surfaces. We may also deep clean with alkaline solutions or soda blasting to neutralize soot that could cause further deterioration.

With SERVPRO, you can salvage many fire and water damage finishes and furnishing.
