Aberdeen Township sits on Raritan Bay in northern Monmouth County, with about 19,300 residents at the 2020 census. Until 1977 it was called Matawan Township, and many people still use the Matawan address. Two neighborhoods make up much of the town. Strathmore was built by Levitt & Sons starting in the early 1960s. Cliffwood Beach began as a 1920s summer resort on the bay and became year-round after World War II. MaxClean Restoration serves both, along with the rest of Aberdeen, at any hour.

Aberdeen neighborhoods we cover

Strathmore, Cliffwood, Cliffwood Beach, Oakshades, River Gardens, Freneau and the streets around the Aberdeen-Matawan train station, plus businesses on Route 34 and Route 35. We serve the neighboring towns too: Matawan, Hazlet, Old Bridge, Marlboro, Holmdel, Keyport and Keansburg.

Problems we see in Aberdeen

Sixty-year-old Strathmore houses. The Levitt-built homes in Strathmore are now around 60 years old. Original water heaters are long gone, but supply lines, shutoff valves, drain lines and older additions still fail. Slab-on-grade sections and lower levels are where that water ends up.

Bayfront flooding in Cliffwood Beach. Cliffwood Beach sits on low ground along Raritan Bay and the mouths of the local creeks. A strong nor'easter or tropical storm can push bay water into streets, crawlspaces and first floors. That water is contaminated, so removal and sanitizing come before drying.

Matawan Creek and storm drains. Heavy downpours fill Matawan Creek and the storm drains that feed it. When those back up, water comes in through floor drains and low doorways. Our sewage backup guide explains why drain water needs special handling.

Smoke from small fires. Kitchen fires and furnace puff-backs spread soot through a whole house, not just one room. Fire is usually covered under most homeowner policies, and fast cleanup keeps soot from setting into paint and fabrics.

Restoration services for Aberdeen

What to expect from our team

Our technicians shut off or confirm the source, then measure moisture through the affected rooms with meters and a thermal camera. We explain what has to come out and what can be dried in place, and start setting up dehumidifiers and air movers right away. Every day we take readings and adjust the equipment until the materials are dry. Then our reconstruction technicians finish the repairs, and you never have to hire a second contractor. Photos of finished jobs are on our before-and-after page.

Insurance

We send the invoice to your insurance carrier on your behalf, but the invoice is still the homeowner's responsibility. That includes your deductible and anything your carrier doesn't pay.

In New Jersey, homeowners usually have the right to choose their own restoration contractor. We document the work carefully for you and your adjuster, but policies vary, so check your policy for what it covers. Bay flooding and drain backups are often covered differently than a burst pipe, so check your policy. See our insurance claims page for details.

Sewage Backup & Septic Overflow Cleanup in Aberdeen

Strathmore's Levitt-built homes are now around 60 years old, and their original drain lines are the kind that crack, root up and back up. Cliffwood Beach sits on low ground along Raritan Bay, where heavy rain can overload street lines. When a main line clogs or the street sewer surcharges, sewage comes up at the lowest opening first: a basement floor drain, a shower, or a toilet. If your home is on septic, a full tank or saturated drain field can push wastewater back into the house the same way.

Treat it as contaminated: stay off the wet area, stop running sinks and showers, and keep children and pets out until it's cleaned. Call 732-539-2942 24/7.

Technicians contain the area, pump out the waste, tear out what can't be safely cleaned, disinfect, and dry with commercial equipment until the readings say it's done. See our sewage cleanup page for the full process. Policies vary, and sewer or septic backup coverage is often a separate endorsement, so check your policy.

Aberdeen restoration FAQs

Sewage came up through a floor drain or toilet in my Aberdeen home. What should I do? Stop using water in the house, keep people and pets out of the area, and call 732-539-2942 any time. Our technicians extract the waste, remove what can't be cleaned, disinfect and dry. If you can't be there, someone 18 or older needs to let our technicians in on the first visit.

We live in Strathmore and a pipe burst under the slab. Can you find the wet areas? Yes. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map how far the water spread under flooring and into walls, so only damaged materials are removed. A plumber repairs the pipe, and we handle the drying and rebuild.

Our Cliffwood Beach home took on water in a storm. Where do we start? Stay out of standing water, take photos and call us. We pump out the water, take out soaked materials, disinfect the framing and run drying equipment, with photos of each room for your claim.

Do you also cover the Matawan side of town? Yes. We serve all of Aberdeen Township and Matawan Borough next door.

How quickly can you get to Aberdeen? We answer 24/7 and are usually on site within about an hour. Aberdeen is a short trip up Route 79 and Route 34 from our Freehold office.
