Ocean Township in Monmouth County is a mostly residential town of about 27,000 people, tucked between Asbury Park, Long Branch and Eatontown. It isn't on the beach itself, but it's close enough that nor'easters hit hard, and Deal Lake and the brooks that feed it run right through its neighborhoods. MaxClean Restoration covers all of Ocean Township for water, fire, mold and storm damage, any hour of the day.

Ocean Township sections we serve

Oakhurst, Wanamassa, Wayside, West Deal and Colonial Terrace, plus the homes and businesses along Route 35, Route 66, Deal Road and West Park Avenue. We also work in the neighboring towns of Asbury Park, Long Branch, Neptune, Eatontown, Tinton Falls, Interlaken, Deal and Allenhurst.

The homes, and the damage we see

Capes and ranches in Oakhurst and Wanamassa. Many of these homes went up in the 1950s and 1960s. Original plumbing, aging water heaters and basements that were finished years after the house was built are common sources of water damage. Old oil burners, or old oil lines left behind after a switch to gas, also mean we still clean up the occasional furnace puff-back.

Larger homes in Wayside and West Deal. Bigger houses mean more bathrooms, more appliances, second-floor laundry rooms and longer supply lines. A failed washer hose or ice maker line upstairs can soak a ceiling, the walls below and a finished basement before anyone notices. Our toilet and appliance overflow guide covers what to do first.

Deal Lake and its brooks. Wanamassa and Colonial Terrace sit along Deal Lake, and Whale Pond Brook and other streams wind through the township. In long, heavy rains, high water tables push groundwater into basements and sump pits work overtime. When the power goes out in a storm, the pump stops right when it's needed most. See our basement flooding and sump pump guide.

Nor'easter wind and big trees. Mature oaks and maples shade many streets. Coastal storms bring down limbs and whole trees onto roofs and cars, and wind-driven rain finds its way past flashing and old windows. We handle emergency tree removal, tarping and the water damage that follows.

What we do in Ocean Township

What to expect when you call

A real person answers, day or night. We're usually at your door within about an hour, since Ocean Township is an easy drive east from our Freehold office. A technician finds the source, maps the wet areas with a thermal camera and moisture meters, and explains the plan before work starts. We take photos of everything, set up drying equipment, and come back daily until the readings say the structure is dry. Then our reconstruction technicians put the room back together.

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. Read more on our insurance claims page.

Prepare for the next storm

Our storm prep guide and tree on the house guide are worth a read before nor'easter season. You can also save your shutoff locations and policy details in our free home emergency plan. Browse every guide in the Resource Center.

Sewage Backup & Septic Overflow Cleanup in Ocean Township

Ocean Township has many basements that were finished years after the house was built, often right around a floor drain, and Wanamassa and Colonial Terrace sit along Deal Lake. 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. Homes on septic can see the same thing when the tank is full or the drain field can't take more water.

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.

Ocean Township restoration FAQs

Sewage came up through a floor drain or toilet in my Ocean Township 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 basement near Deal Lake takes on water after heavy rain. Can you help? Yes. We extract the water, dry the space and check for hidden moisture in walls and flooring. We'll also point out likely causes, like grading, downspouts or a sump pump that needs a battery backup.

A tree came down on our roof during a nor'easter. What do we do? Get everyone out of the affected rooms and call us. We remove the tree, tarp the roof, dry anything that got wet and document the damage for your claim.

Can you clean up an oil furnace puff-back? Yes. Puff-back soot is oily and spreads through ductwork and every room. We clean surfaces, ducts and contents and treat the odor.
