Fast, Reliable Water Damage Restoration for Homes in New Jersey
Restore your home—and your routine—after unexpected water damage
In New Jersey, dealing with water damage is just part of life. Whether you live near the shore, in a quiet neighborhood like Montclair, or in the city streets of Newark, you're probably no stranger to heavy rains, melting snow, or even the occasional coastal storm. And when water ends up where it doesn’t belong—in your basement, behind your walls, or soaking through your ceiling—you need more than just a mop and a fan.
At ServiceMaster Restoration by Complete, we know how quickly water damage can disrupt your life. We live and work in the communities we serve, so we understand the specific risks local homeowners face—from freezing pipes in older homes to sewer backups in dense urban neighborhoods. Our goal is to help you get your home (and your sense of normalcy) back as quickly and safely as possible.

Why Water Damage Isn’t Just a Spring Problem
Many people assume water damage is only a concern during spring downpours, but in New Jersey, it’s a year-round issue. Fall brings unpredictable storms, while winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that can burst pipes overnight. One day the temperature dips below freezing, and the next it's in the 50s—that sudden shift creates pressure inside pipes and gutters that can lead to leaks and overflows.
In older towns like Jersey City or Paterson, aging infrastructure and older plumbing systems make homes even more vulnerable. It’s not just rain you have to worry about. Snowmelt, blocked gutters, and ice dams can all push water where it doesn't belong. That’s why early prevention and fast response are critical.
That Smell Isn’t Going Away—And It’s Not Just Water
Not all water damage looks dramatic. Sometimes it starts with a musty smell in your laundry room, or a damp feeling on your carpet that won't go away. The truth is, lingering moisture creates the perfect environment for mold and bacteria to grow—especially if the source is a sewage backup or greywater from an appliance.
We take these risks seriously. ServiceMaster Restoration by Complete uses advanced drying, dehumidifying, and sanitizing methods to eliminate both visible and invisible threats. Whether your damage was caused by a burst pipe, a clogged toilet, or a basement flood, our team knows how to stop the spread of bacteria, remove odors, and restore safe living conditions.
Your Roof Isn’t Supposed to Be a Waterfall
New Jersey homeowners are no strangers to roof leaks. Between the weight of wet snow, high winds blowing branches onto shingles, and years of wear and tear, it's easy for small cracks or gaps to let water seep in. Left unchecked, even minor leaks can damage insulation, rot your roof deck, or travel through your walls and ceilings.
We know what to look for and how to fix it fast. If you live in places like Cherry Hill, Princeton, or anywhere that sees seasonal storm activity, checking your attic or upper levels for signs of moisture is key. If we find water intrusion, we use specialized drying equipment to remove moisture at every level—not just what you can see.

Not All Water Is the Same—And That Matters
Water damage comes in several categories, and how we treat your home depends entirely on where that water came from. A clean water leak from a broken pipe isn’t the same as black water from a sewer backup—and treating them the same way can leave you with lasting issues.
- Clean water: Typically from pipes or rainwater, but still needs fast drying to prevent mold.
- Grey water: Often from appliances like dishwashers or washing machines, which can carry contaminants.
- Black water: Includes sewage or floodwater from outside—requires disinfection and careful containment.
ServiceMaster Restoration by Complete follows strict IICRC standards for identifying water types and applying the right treatment plan. We don’t take shortcuts, because protecting your home and your health is our top priority.
How We Get You from Soaked to Safe
We know what water damage feels like. One minute, everything is fine—and the next, your kitchen floor is soaked or your basement smells like mildew. We don’t just show up with fans and dryers. We come with a plan, compassion, and a commitment to getting your life back on track.
Here’s what to expect:

FAQs
How do I know if the water damage is serious enough to call a pro?
If you see bubbling paint, sagging drywall, or smell musty odors—it’s time. Even small leaks can lead to mold, so it’s safer to get a professional opinion.
Does homeowners insurance cover this type of water damage?
Often, yes—especially for sudden events like burst pipes or appliance failures. We work directly with most insurers to help streamline the claims process.
How long will it take to dry everything out?
Most homes dry within 3–5 days, depending on how far the water spread. We use moisture meters and thermal tools to make sure every area is properly dried before we wrap up.
