Stafford Township is the mainland gateway to Long Beach Island. Route 72 crosses the township and then the Manahawkin Bay Bridge, which is the only road onto the island. The township had 28,617 residents at the 2020 census, and its housing tells the story of how it grew: lagoon homes in Beach Haven West, wooded subdivisions in Ocean Acres, and older streets in Manahawkin village. Many of those houses started as vacation homes and became year-round homes over the last few decades. MaxClean Restoration serves all of Stafford, 24/7.

What causes damage in Stafford homes

Lagoon flooding in Beach Haven West. Beach Haven West is built on lagoons cut off Manahawkin Bay. When a coastal storm holds water in the bay, it can top bulkheads and come into garages and first floors. Sandy in 2012 flooded many homes here. Flood water from the bay is contaminated, so the cleanup includes removal and sanitizing, not just drying.

Ocean Acres crawlspaces and slabs. Homes in the wooded sections of Ocean Acres often sit on crawlspaces or slabs surrounded by sandy soil and tall pines. Plumbing leaks under the floor, crawlspace humidity and roof leaks from falling limbs are the calls we see most.

Elevated homes. Houses raised after Sandy have their utilities, storage and sometimes living space in an enclosure below the main floor. Water heaters, washers and HVAC equipment in those areas fail just like anywhere else, and the water spreads quickly on a slab.

Winter freeze-ups. Seasonal homes that sit empty can lose heat during a cold snap. A burst pipe in an empty house can run for days. Our frozen pipes guide covers how to protect a home you're not living in.

How we handle a Stafford loss

When you call, we ask what happened and what you're seeing, then send technicians with extraction and drying equipment. On site we find the source, check moisture with thermal imaging and meters, and show you what can be saved. After salt or bay water, we remove wet materials to above the water line, clean and treat the framing, and dry it under controlled conditions. Daily readings tell us when it's dry, and then we rebuild. Past work is on our before-and-after page.

Flood claims and homeowners claims

Bay flooding is normally a flood policy claim, while a pipe, appliance or roof leak is normally a homeowners claim. Check your declarations pages or ask your agent which applies.

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 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. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see our insurance claims page.

Stafford Township restoration FAQs

Do you work in Beach Haven West after coastal flooding? Yes. We pump out standing water, remove soaked materials, clean and sanitize the structure and dry it, with photos and readings for each room.

Our raised home's ground-level enclosure flooded. Is that covered? It depends on your policy. Flood policies often limit what's covered below the lowest elevated floor, so check your flood declarations page or ask your agent. We document everything either way.

Can you take care of our Manahawkin home while we're away for the season? Yes. Someone 18 or older needs to let our crew in on the first visit. After that, we can supply a key box and send you photos and updates as the job moves along.

How fast can you get to Stafford? We answer 24/7 and aim to be on site within about 2 hours. It's a direct trip down the Parkway to the Route 72 exit.
