Brick has two kinds of water damage. Near the bay, streets like Cartagena Drive in the Baywood section can flood two to three feet deep during storms and high tides, and residents told the township council in 2024 that it's been getting worse. Inland, in neighborhoods like Cedarwood Park, where the Brick Township MUA replaced 1970s-era 2- and 3-inch water mains with larger ones, the calls are more often about plumbing that has aged along with the houses. We handle both.

Common sources of water damage in Brick

Tidal and storm flooding. Water from the bay or a lagoon is outside floodwater. It's treated as contaminated, so wet drywall, insulation and carpet usually come out.

Supply lines and fixtures. Original copper or older plastic lines, toilet supply hoses and shutoff valves wear out after decades.

Water heaters. A tank in a garage or utility closet can flood the main floor of a slab home quickly.

Crawl spaces. Raised and elevated homes can collect water in the crawl space after storms, where it stays out of sight and feeds mold.

Frozen pipes in seasonal homes. A shore house left with the heat off or a furnace that quit can lose a pipe in a cold snap. Our frozen pipes page has prevention tips.

If you're away

If you're not in town when it happens, someone 18 or older lets us in on the first visit, then we can supply a key box for the rest of the job. We'll send updates and photos.

What to do now

  1. Turn off the main water valve if the source is a pipe or appliance.
  2. Stay out of water that may be touching outlets or cords.
  3. Move cars, rugs and anything valuable out of the water's path if a tide is still rising and it's safe.
  4. Take photos and video.
  5. Call 732-539-2942 .

Our process

  1. Assessment with moisture meters and thermal imaging to find all the wet areas.
  2. Water extraction from floors, carpet and crawl spaces.
  3. Removal of materials floodwater has contaminated or that can't dry in place.
  4. Cleaning and disinfection after floodwater.
  5. Drying with dehumidifiers and air movers, with daily readings ( drying log guide).
  6. Rebuild through our reconstruction team.

Insurance

Bay and lagoon flooding is usually a flood-policy claim; a burst pipe or appliance leak is usually handled under the homeowners policy, depending on the terms. 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.

Brick water damage FAQs

Do you handle tidal flooding in the lagoon neighborhoods? Yes. We extract the water, remove contaminated materials, disinfect and dry. Because bay water is treated as contaminated, more material usually has to come out than with a clean-water leak.

Our shore house is empty in winter. Can you work there without us? Yes. Someone 18 or older lets us in the first time, then we can supply a key box and keep you updated with photos.

How quickly can you get to Brick? We're open around the clock and usually on site within about an hour.

Does flood insurance cover my crawl space? Flood policies limit what they cover below the first floor. Check your policy or ask your agent.

How do I know the house is really dry? We take moisture readings every day and stop only when materials are back to normal for your home.

Can you fix the walls and floors afterward? Yes. Our reconstruction team handles drywall, flooring, trim and paint.
