Water, Fire & Mold Damage Restoration in Manasquan, NJ

Manasquan is pinned between the ocean, the inlet and the Manasquan River, with streets of former bungalows and newer raised homes packed closely together. Sandy flooded or damaged about 1,850 homes here, and every strong nor'easter still pushes water toward the river streets.

Many houses sit empty part of the year as summer rentals or second homes, so damage often goes unnoticed. MaxClean Restoration responds to Manasquan around the clock and typically gets there in about an hour.

Cleaning up after salt water

Local Restoration Risks in Manasquan, NJ

Manasquan sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Manasquan River at the Manasquan Inlet. Its homes are packed tightly, more than 2,500 units per square mile, and many traditional beach bungalows have been torn down and replaced by much larger year-round homes. A large share of houses are seasonal or rentals, so a leak can go unnoticed for weeks in the off-season.

Sandy hit the borough hard. In November 2012 borough officials reported about 1,850 homes flooded or damaged by wave attack, and NJR had to replace most beachfront gas mains. February is the peak month for nor'easters here, and salt-laden floodwater, sand intrusion and wet crawl spaces under raised homes are the problems that follow coastal storms.

Sewage Backup & Septic Overflow Cleanup in Manasquan

Manasquan's river streets and former bungalows sit between the ocean, the inlet and the Manasquan River, and every strong nor'easter still pushes water toward them. Backups usually show up at the lowest drain in the house, so a gurgling toilet or a floor drain pushing up dark water is the first warning. If your home is on septic, a full tank or saturated drain field can push wastewater back into the house the same way.

Don't run the washer or flush toilets until the line is cleared, and keep everyone out of the affected rooms. Call 732-539-2942 24/7.

Our technicians extract the water, remove porous materials it soaked such as carpet, pad, drywall and insulation, then clean, disinfect and dry the structure with daily moisture readings. 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.

Manasquan FAQs

Sewage came up through a floor drain or toilet in my Manasquan 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.

Do you work with my insurance company?

Yes. 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. We also provide the photos and moisture logs the adjuster asks for, whether it is a homeowners claim for a burst pipe or a flood policy claim after a storm.

Do you handle businesses as well as homes in Manasquan?

Yes. Restaurants, shops and rental properties around Main Street and the beachfront are commercial work we do regularly, along with homes.
