Open 24/7 and usually on site within about an hour in Monmouth, Ocean and Middlesex counties.

North Brunswick packs almost 44,000 people (2020 census) into about 12 square miles between New Brunswick and South Brunswick. That density shapes the work we do here. Older single-family streets near the New Brunswick line sit a few miles from large garden-apartment and condo complexes off Route 1 and Route 130, and newer subdivisions to the south. A leak in one of those settings is a very different job from a leak in another, and MaxClean Restoration handles all of them, 24 hours a day.

Where we work in North Brunswick

Every neighborhood in the township, including the streets around Farrington Lake, Livingston Park, Red Lion, Adams, Black Horse and Georges Road, plus the homes and businesses along Route 1, Route 27 and Route 130. We also serve the surrounding towns: New Brunswick, East Brunswick, South Brunswick, Milltown and Edison.

Typical North Brunswick losses

Multi-unit water damage. Garden apartments and condo buildings share walls, ceilings and plumbing stacks. One overflowing tub or burst washer hose can damage two or three units before anyone shuts the water off. We trace the water through every unit it reached, dry them together and keep a separate record for each owner and the association.

Basement and lower-level flooding. North Brunswick drains to Lawrence Brook and the Raritan River. When heavy rain falls quickly, storm drains back up and water comes in through floor drains, window wells and foundation cracks. Water from a floor drain is treated as contaminated, so cleanup includes sanitizing as well as drying. See sewage cleanup for how we handle it.

Kitchen fires and smoke. In apartments and townhouses, smoke from a stovetop fire travels through shared hallways and attic space. Soot is acidic and keeps etching surfaces until it's cleaned, so early cleanup saves more of what's in the home. Fire is usually covered under most homeowner policies.

Older plumbing near New Brunswick. In the older homes at the north end of the township, galvanized pipes, aging water heaters and original cast-iron drains are frequent sources of slow leaks that turn into mold behind walls.

Restoration services for North Brunswick

What happens after you call

A technician arrives, stops or confirms the source, and walks the space with you. We measure moisture behind walls and under floors before anything is removed, explain what can be dried and what has to go, and set up drying equipment the same visit. Each day we take new readings and adjust. When the structure is dry, our reconstruction technicians rebuild, so there's no second contractor to find. Photos from past jobs are on our before-and-after page.

Your insurance claim

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. Condo owners should check both their own unit policy and the association's master policy. Read more on our insurance claims page.

Sewage Backup & Septic Overflow Cleanup in North Brunswick

In the older homes at the north end of the township, original cast-iron drains are common, and the garden-apartment complexes share drain stacks between units. 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.

North Brunswick restoration FAQs

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

Water from the unit above is coming through my ceiling. Who do I call first? Tell the upstairs neighbor or building management so the water gets shut off, then call us. We dry your unit, document the damage and can work in the unit above at the same time.

Do you handle condo and apartment buildings, not just houses? Yes. We work in garden apartments, condos and townhouse communities, and we coordinate with property managers and associations.

Our floor drain backed up after a storm. Is it safe to clean ourselves? It's best not to. Water from a floor drain can carry sewage. Keep kids and pets away, avoid the area and call us so it can be removed and sanitized properly.
