AfterRestoration Company in River Edge, NJ
Restoration work in River Edge runs between $1,800 and $8,500 depending on the loss type and how far it has spread before we get the call. Most River Edge homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s, which means plaster and lath, older supply lines, and basements that sit close to the water table. We’re Keegan Water Damage Restoration, part of the Garrison Partners family since 2005, and we run every River Edge job to The Garrison Standard: written price before work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7 at (361) 317-7269.
Our Main River Edge Services
Most calls we take from River Edge homeowners fall into three categories. Each has its own dedicated page with River Edge-specific pricing and response details.
Water Damage Restoration in River Edge
Water losses in River Edge often start with aging copper or galvanized supply lines in post-war colonials and split-levels near the Hackensack River. Basements here take on water during spring runoff and coastal storms, and we’ve seen finished basement jobs where moisture wicks up through slab edges for weeks before anyone notices. We extract standing water with truck-mounted systems, set up sealed drying chambers with Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers, and run psychrometric readings until the structure reads dry to IICRC standards. Every step is photo-documented for your insurance claim. Water Damage Restoration in River Edge
Fire Damage Restoration in River Edge
Fire restoration in River Edge means dealing with smoke odor that embeds in plaster walls and older dimensional lumber that doesn’t respond to standard cleaning protocols. We handle structural stabilization, contents pack-out, thermal fogging and ozone treatment, and full rebuild coordination. Our crews inventory every item, document the scope of loss with adjuster-formatted reports, and put the rebuild price in writing before any reconstruction starts. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers every repair we touch. Fire Damage Restoration in River Edge
Mold Remediation in River Edge
River Edge’s humidity and older housing stock create conditions where mold colonizes behind baseboards, inside plaster cavities, and above drop ceilings in basement conversions. We don’t just treat visible growth. We locate the moisture source, establish containment with negative air pressure, remove contaminated materials per IICRC S520, and dry the structure to prevent recurrence. Every remediation includes written clearance criteria and a year of guarantee protection under The Garrison Standard. Mold Remediation in River Edge

Why River Edge Homes Are Different
River Edge sits on a narrow ridge between the Hackensack River and Van Saun Mill Brook, which means water finds its way in from multiple directions. The borough’s housing stock is predominantly pre-1980 construction: Cape Cods, split-levels, and center-hall colonials with plaster walls, minimal wall cavity insulation, and original windows that sweat in summer. These materials absorb moisture slowly and release it slowly, which extends drying times compared to modern drywall construction.
Permit work runs through the River Edge Building Department on Main Street. Most restoration projects that involve structural repair or electrical replacement need permits, and we coordinate those filings directly so the job doesn’t stall. Several condo associations near Kinderkamack Road and the train station have their own notification requirements; we handle that outreach as part of our standard intake.
Basements are a particular concern. The water table sits high in spring, and sump pump failures during coastal storms are a recurring call driver. We’ve also seen significant mold colonization in homes near the brook where grading directs runoff toward foundation walls rather than away.
