Three specialties New Jersey trusts us for
Water damage, mold, and basement waterproofing experts
Most New Jersey property emergencies come down to water — where it went, what it grew, and how to keep it out for good. RDC Restoration is built around the three disciplines that solve them: certified emergency water damage restoration and drying, independent mold testing and remediation, and permanent basement waterproofing.
Emergency water damage & structural drying
Water damage restoration New Jersey relies on, 24/7
When a pipe bursts, a water heater fails, or a storm floods a basement, minutes matter. RDC’s emergency water damage restoration crews arrive fast, stop the source, and begin extraction the same visit — because standing water becomes microbial growth within 24–48 hours.
- IICRC-certified process: WRT water-restoration and ASD applied-structural-drying methods, from Category 1 clean water to Category 3 black water and sewage backups.
- Science, not guesswork: moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and psychrometric monitoring with truck-mounted extractors, commercial air movers, and LGR dehumidifiers.
- Documented for your insurer: daily moisture logs and photos so drying is verified to standard — and billed directly to your carrier.
- Every water source: burst pipes, appliance leaks, storm and flood intrusion, and roof failures.
Fast local response in Edison, Elizabeth, Clifton, Cranford, Bayonne, East Brunswick & every town in Union, Essex & Middlesex counties.
Mold testing, inspection & remediation
Independent mold testing and NORMI-certified remediation
Mold is a health issue before it’s a property issue. RDC pairs unbiased mold inspection and air testing with full mold remediation — so you know exactly what’s there, and it’s removed to standard, not just painted over.
- NORMI-certified inspection: visual assessment, moisture readings, air and surface sampling sent to an independent accredited lab.
- Remediation to IICRC S520 standard: negative-air containment, HEPA air scrubbers, antimicrobial treatment, and safe removal of affected materials.
- Root-cause fix: we find and correct the moisture source — a leak, high humidity, or a wet basement — so mold doesn’t return.
- Post-remediation verification: clearance testing confirms the space is safe before we close the job.
Mold experts serving Edison, Elizabeth, Clifton, Cranford, Englewood, Fair Lawn and statewide.
Basement waterproofing & foundation drainage
Basement waterproofing experts who stop water for good
Cleaning up a flooded basement is only half the job — keeping it dry is the other half. RDC’s basement waterproofing stops water at the source so you’re not paying to dry the same basement every spring.
- Diagnosed, not guessed: we trace whether water is entering through hydrostatic pressure, wall cracks, cove joints, or grading and downspouts.
- Interior & exterior systems: French-drain and interior perimeter drainage, sump-pump and battery-backup installation, crack injection, vapor barriers, and exterior sealing.
- Built for New Jersey: engineered for our clay soils, high water tables, and heavy nor’easter and spring-thaw runoff.
- Ties into the whole fix: waterproofing that supports lasting mold prevention and healthy indoor air.

New Jersey restoration questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
How fast can RDC respond to a water damage emergency in New Jersey?
RDC Restoration answers calls 24/7 and dispatches the nearest crew from our Berkeley Heights or Piscataway hub, typically arriving within the hour across most of New Jersey. Because standing water can begin growing mold in 24–48 hours, we start source control and water extraction on the first visit.
Do you handle mold testing and mold remediation, or just one?
Both. We provide independent, NORMI-certified mold inspection and air testing through an accredited lab, and full mold remediation to the IICRC S520 standard — including containment, HEPA removal, and post-remediation clearance testing to verify the space is safe.
What causes a wet basement, and can waterproofing really stop it?
Most New Jersey basements leak from hydrostatic pressure, foundation cracks, cove-joint seepage, or poor exterior grading and downspouts. We diagnose the exact source, then install the right interior or exterior system — French drains, sump pumps, crack injection, vapor barriers, or exterior sealing. See basement waterproofing.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
Yes. RDC documents the loss with moisture logs and photos, provides a detailed scope, and bills your insurance carrier directly — so you can focus on your property, not the paperwork.
Which New Jersey areas do you serve?
All 21 New Jersey counties. Two hubs — Berkeley Heights (northern NJ) and Piscataway (central and southern NJ) — dispatch certified crews statewide. Find your town on our service areas page.
Are RDC’s technicians certified?
Yes. Our crews hold IICRC certifications for water restoration (WRT) and structural drying (ASD), NORMI certification for mold assessment, and AHERA certification for asbestos — and RDC is BBB A-rated with over 1,000 five-star reviews.
