Water Damage Restoration & Water Removal in Edison, NJ

A sewage backup is an emergency because sewage water contains bacteria and contaminants that can cause serious illness, so even if you don’t see any water or damage yet, you should contact the certified technicians at Northeast Power Dry right away. Although dirty water from a flood or toilet overflow can seem the most serious, even water from a leaking faucet can eventually become contaminated if it is not treated promptly. Our team will remove contaminated water and materials, clean the area with air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, and other specialized equipment, provide mold remediation if necessary, and sanitize and deodorize all affected areas.

A sewage backup can be caused by:

• Solid flush: This is when there is a blockage in the waste line between a plumbing fixture and the main septic drain line, which typically occurs when a large or inappropriate object is flushed down the toilet.
• Structural damage: Sewage backup can occur when a waste pipe develops a crack, detaches from an adjacent pipe section, or is crushed because of building settlement.
• Root damage: The main drain line that connects the home to a septic tank or municipal sewer can be susceptible to clogging from tree roots, which naturally grow toward a moisture source and usually enter the sewer line through pipe joints.
• Sewer backup or surge: If a blockage occurs in a city sewage line, wastewater usually overflows at the lowest opening, which can be a sink or toilet in a home’s basement or lower level.

If you experienced a flood in Edison, your home’s sump pump is designed to prevent water damage and redirect water away from your home. When they malfunction or fail, water often pools around your basement or crawl space. This water needs to be addressed quickly, or it can become a hotbed for mold growth and the spread of contaminants.

Northeast Power Dry’s sump pump failure cleanup team will quickly restore a safe environment around your sump pump. Our high-power vacuums safely dispose of contaminated water, and our drying equipment stops water damage in its tracks. By drying and sanitizing the affected area, we eliminate the potential for mold and mildew growth.

Sump pump failures can occur when you least expect them, but we’ll help you prepare for the worst.

As temperatures drop, water tends to freeze inside pipes. During this transition from liquid to solid, water expands and places extreme pressure on pipes and sewer lines, resulting in burst pipes.

When a pipe bursts, it usually makes a loud clanging sound. If you hear a clang or trickling water, we recommend shutting off your water supply and contacting Northeast Power Dry’s emergency burst pipe restoration team. Shutting off the source reduces future damage and significantly cuts repair costs.

Sometimes, burst pipes can go unnoticed for days or weeks. But if you see a spike in your water bill, wet spots on walls, or higher humidity in some areas of your home or business, you should turn off the water supply and contact our experts.

We offer free moisture inspections in Edison, so there’s no risk in having our team look at the suspected burst. If we find water damage, we’ll inform you immediately and discuss a recommended course of action.
