Aberdeen Township sits on Raritan Bay in northern Monmouth County. Many residents still use a Matawan mailing address. Strathmore Levitt homes from the early 1960s and Cliffwood Beach bayfront streets both see backups when aging laterals clog or stormwater surcharges a line. MaxClean Restoration removes the waste, disinfects, dries and rebuilds.

Why sewage backs up in Aberdeen homes

Sixty-year-old Strathmore laterals. Levitt-built homes now have aging drains and laterals under slabs and lower levels; roots and grease push waste back up at the lowest fixture.

Bayfront surcharge in Cliffwood Beach. Stormwater and high bay levels can reverse flow at floor drains in low ground near Raritan Bay.

Basement baths and ejector pumps. Pump failures dump waste onto finished floors in homes with lower-level bathrooms or laundry.

Shared or older main connections. Blockages in the street main or lateral show first at the lowest fixture in the house.

What to do right now

  1. Stop using water in the house: no flushing, showers, laundry or dishwasher until the line is cleared.
  2. Keep everyone away, especially children, pets and anyone with a weakened immune system.
  3. Don't touch the electrical panel or outlets if you have to stand in water to reach them.
  4. Take photos of the backup and anything it reached before cleanup starts.
  5. Call a plumber to clear the line and call us at 732-539-2942 . We can start containment while they work.

Our sewage cleanup process

  1. Assess and protect. Technicians in protective gear set up containment so contaminated air and debris don't spread to clean rooms.
  2. Remove waste and water. We pump out standing sewage and remove saturated materials that can't be safely cleaned, like carpet, pad, drywall and insulation in the affected area.
  3. Clean and disinfect. Hard surfaces, framing and concrete are cleaned and treated with disinfectants. This is the step that separates sewage cleanup from ordinary water damage.
  4. Dry and verify. Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure, and air scrubbers help control odor and particles. We take readings every day until materials are back to normal.
  5. Rebuild. Our reconstruction technicians replace what was removed: drywall, flooring, trim and paint.

Sewage backup and insurance

Coverage for a sewage backup depends on your policy. Many homeowners policies only cover sewer or drain backups if you have a water backup endorsement, and that endorsement has its own limit. Check your declarations page or ask your agent.

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 document the loss with photos, moisture readings and an itemized scope.

In New Jersey, homeowners usually have the right to choose their own restoration contractor. We specialize in working with both homeowners and insurance companies to make sure the work is properly documented and covered, so your home gets back to its pre-loss condition.

Aberdeen sewage cleanup FAQs

Sewage came up through my basement floor drain. Is it safe to clean myself? No. Sewage carries bacteria; porous materials usually need removal, not wiping. Keep people away and call us.

Do I need a plumber or a restoration company? Usually both. A plumber clears the line; we remove waste, disinfect, dry and rebuild.

Can carpet be saved? Usually no after sewage. Carpet and pad are removed; hard floors and concrete can often be disinfected.

Our ejector pump failed. Is that sewage? Yes. Ejector pit overflow is treated as sewage and cleaned the same way.

How long does cleanup take? Removal and disinfection on day one; drying usually several more days with daily readings.

Is it covered by insurance? Often only with a water backup endorsement. Check your declarations page or ask your agent.
