About Union Water Damage Restoration
24/7 water damage restoration for Union Township and the nearby towns of Union County, New Jersey, built around basements, cold winters and the IICRC S500 drying standard.
Water damage restoration for basements, Cape Cods and split-levels
Union Township grew fast after World War II, and most of its streets are lined with Cape Cods, colonials and split-levels on poured or block foundations with full basements. Water in these homes usually ends up in one place: the basement, where finished rooms, furnaces, water heaters and stored belongings sit below grade.
The Union restoration crew plans each dry-out around that housing stock. The tech who does the walkthrough asks where the water came from and when it started, maps the moisture, and only then decides what gets dried in place and what gets removed.
Weather shapes the rest. Winter cold splits pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces, ice dams push melt water under shingles, and summer storms and hurricane remnants overwhelm sump pumps and sewers, as the remnants of Hurricane Ida showed across Union County in September 2021.
What gets handled: water and sewage only, from water extraction and basement flooding cleanup to frozen pipe damage, sewage backups and structural drying.
Every dry-out is documented the same way: a moisture map on the first visit, daily readings logged with temperature and humidity, and timestamped photos before anything is removed. That record shows when the structure reached the drying goal and gives an adjuster what a water claim is judged on.

The standard every Union dry-out is held to
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard. It is a standard for the work, measured with meters and logs.
How a Union water loss is handled
Moisture mapped before equipment
The tech who does the walkthrough reads drywall, framing, subfloor and block foundation walls with pinless meters and thermal imaging first.
Dried to IICRC S500
The drying team follows IICRC S500, the industry drying standard: structural drying, not just surface drying.
A claim file built daily
Daily moisture readings, psychrometric logs and timestamped photos go into the file an adjuster reviews.
Union basement know-how
Sump failures, sewer backups, frozen pipes and Elizabeth River storm water are routine losses for the Union restoration crew.
