What we do
From the first pump-out to the final coat of paint, one team handles the whole job so you are not chasing three different contractors.
How it works
Most people have never dealt with a loss like this before. Here is exactly what happens after you call.
Tell us what happened. We walk you through what to shut off and what to move before we arrive, then dispatch a crew.
We stop the source, extract standing water, set drying equipment, and photograph everything your insurer will ask about.
Drying is monitored to completion, then we handle repairs and reconstruction until the space is back the way it was.

Reviews
AquaShield responded quickly when our basement flooded, and their team was professional, efficient, and compassionate throughout the entire process.
A house fire is one of the scariest things I have ever been through, but these guys made the cleanup and repairs so much easier. They made our home feel like a home again.
I did not realize how bad the water damage was until mold started showing. AquaShield Restoration took care of everything quickly and made sure my family was safe.
We had a major water leak and I was worried our house would never be the same. The team explained every step and worked like crazy to fix everything. Such a relief to be in good hands.
Common questions
We answer the phone 24 hours a day and typically have a crew on site within a couple of hours across Morris and Essex County, and same-day throughout northern and central New Jersey. Water spreads into drywall, subfloor, and framing within the first 24 to 48 hours, so the sooner extraction starts, the less of your home has to be torn out and rebuilt.
Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe or a failed water heater. Gradual leaks and surface flooding are usually excluded, and flooding from outside the home generally requires separate flood insurance. We document moisture readings and photograph everything as we work, which is the evidence your adjuster needs to approve the claim. We can bill your insurer directly.
Cost depends on how much water there is, how far it spread, and whether it was clean, gray, or contaminated. A contained basement extraction and dry-out sits at the low end, while a multi-room loss requiring demolition and reconstruction runs considerably higher. We give you a written scope before any work begins, and the assessment itself is free.
Structural drying usually takes three to five days with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers running continuously. We take moisture readings daily rather than guessing, and we do not pull the equipment until the materials read dry. Reconstruction starts after that and depends on the scope of repairs.
Mold can begin colonizing damp material within 24 to 48 hours. That window is the entire reason we push for fast extraction. If mold has already appeared, we contain the area, remove the affected material safely, and run air scrubbers before anything gets rebuilt.
Both. Mitigation and reconstruction happen under one contract, so you are not hiring a separate general contractor after the drying equipment leaves. One point of contact from the first phone call through the final walkthrough.
If it is safe, shut off the water at the source and cut power to the affected area at the breaker. Do not walk through standing water near outlets or electrical panels. Move small valuables and photographs to a dry floor, and take pictures of the damage before anything is moved. Then call us and we will walk you through the rest.
