Edison Township wraps completely around Metuchen, and Metuchen is where our shop is. That geography is the whole pitch. Whether the call comes from North Edison off Oak Tree Road or from the Clara Barton section down near Route 27, our crew is already inside the township line before most restoration companies have finished taking your address.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day and we're on site within the hour. Water, fire and smoke, mold, storm, and flood damage all get worse by the hour, and Edison is a big enough township that a slow response can mean the difference between drying a room and gutting a floor.
Calvary Restoration is family-owned, IICRC-certified, licensed, bonded, insured, and BBB accredited. We're also a construction company, which means we don't stop at the cleanup. We put the house back.

Water damage. Failed supply lines, water heaters that let go, refrigerator and dishwasher lines, and roof leaks account for most of what we see in Edison homes. We extract, then we map the moisture with meters and thermal imaging so we're drying the structure and not just the carpet. See our water damage restoration services.
Storm damage. Wind and nor'easters take down limbs onto roofs across the township every year, and hail and driven rain find their way through aging shingles and siding. We tarp and board first so the property stops taking on water, then we repair. Here's what our storm damage restoration work covers.
Flood damage. Sump pump failures and sewer backups are the usual cause of standing water in Edison basements. Floodwater carries contaminants, and the category of the water decides what gets cleaned and what gets thrown out; we make that call by the book, not by eye. Our flood damage restoration process covers extraction, sanitizing, odor control, and repairs.
Fire and smoke damage. A fire that the department knocks down in ten minutes still sends soot and odor through every room, and the water used to fight it becomes the second problem. We handle emergency board-up, structural stabilization, soot and odor removal, and contents pack-out and storage. Read more about fire and smoke damage restoration.
Mold remediation. Most of the mold we find in Edison started as a small leak behind a wall or under a slab that nobody caught for months. We contain the work area, remove what's affected, and fix the moisture source, because remediation without a moisture correction just buys you a year. See our mold remediation services.
Commercial properties. Edison carries a heavy commercial and industrial load: the Route 1 retail corridor, the Oak Tree Road business district, office parks, warehouses, and medical suites. Those jobs run on a different clock than a house does. See our commercial restoration services.
Repairs and rebuild. This is the part most restoration companies hand off. We don't. Our construction division handles the drywall, flooring, cabinetry, trim, and paint, so one company owns the job from the emergency call through the last coat. You aren't chasing a contractor after the dryers come out.
Edison is the largest municipality in Middlesex County: 107,588 people across 30.06 square miles of land, with 36,302 housing units and a density around 3,578 people per square mile. Most of that housing arrived fast. The township held 16,348 residents in 1950 and 67,120 by 1970, and the bulk of Edison's neighborhoods went up during that stretch, back when the place was still called Raritan Township. The name changed to Edison in 1954.
So the typical Edison house we walk into is a postwar ranch, split-level, or Cape between 50 and 70 years old. That age bracket has a signature. Original copper and galvanized supply lines are at or past service life, cast iron waste stacks corrode from the inside, and the water heaters, washer hoses, and shutoff valves in these homes have usually been replaced once and are due again. Slow leaks inside wall and ceiling cavities are the single most common source of the mold work we do in the township.
Basements matter here too. Edison is mostly flat, with the Perth Amboy Moraine arcing across it, the high ground on Grandview Avenue at roughly 220 feet, and the low end at sea level along the Raritan River on the southern edge. The Robinsons Branch of the Rahway River also runs through the township. Homes of this era were built with drainage that met the standards of the day, and a lot of them now rely on a single sump pump with no battery backup.
Owner-occupancy runs about 60.6 percent, meaning roughly 22,000 owner-occupied homes and a large remainder of garden apartments, condominiums, and rentals. In shared-wall buildings one unit's supply line failure becomes three units' problem inside an hour. Given what homes in the township are worth, the rebuild is not a detail. It's most of the claim.
Someone answers at 3 a.m. We're staffed 24 hours a day, every day, and we're on site within the hour. Nobody takes a message and calls you back in the morning.
We're in the middle of the township, not across the county. Our base is in Metuchen, which Edison surrounds on every side. There is no part of Edison that's a long drive for us.
We handle the insurance side. We document the loss from the first visit, write a scope that includes the reconstruction, talk to your adjuster directly, and bill your carrier where your policy allows it.
We're certified and we carry the paper. IICRC-certified technicians, licensed, bonded, and insured in New Jersey, BBB accredited.
We finance the gap. Deductibles and non-covered work add up. Financing is available up to $200,000 through Enhancify.
We're family-owned. You're talking to the people who own the company. Not a franchise dispatcher three states away.
A restoration claim is usually somebody's first one, and it lands on them during the worst week of their year. We take that piece off your plate.
From the first visit we photograph and document everything, then write a scope that covers the full loss including the rebuild rather than just the mitigation. We stay in contact with your adjuster through the job, and where your policy permits, we bill the carrier directly so you aren't fronting the cost.
What we're after is a settlement that pays for the actual work. See how we handle insurance claims. If there's still a gap between the payout and the scope, financing up to $200,000 is available through Enhancify.
Edison was formed out of sections of Piscataway and Woodbridge, and it still borders both. We work throughout that surrounding stretch of Middlesex County:
Within the hour, 24 hours a day. We're based in Metuchen, and since Edison surrounds Metuchen on every side, no section of the township is far from us. North Edison, South Edison, and everything along the Route 1 and Route 27 corridors get the same response.
Yes. We document the damage, write the full scope including reconstruction, coordinate with your adjuster, and bill your carrier directly where the policy allows. With Edison home values where they are, an underwritten scope costs owners real money, so we write it properly the first time.
Water damage, flood damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and storm damage restoration, plus full reconstruction afterward. If a property in the township took damage, we can mitigate it and rebuild it.
Yes. Single-family homes, condos, and garden apartment buildings on the residential side, and on the commercial side the Route 1 retail corridor, Oak Tree Road storefronts, office parks, warehouses, and industrial space. Edison has more commercial square footage than most towns we serve, and we're set up for it.
Both. Calvary is a restoration and construction company, so our own construction team follows the crew that handles your emergency. That matters in Edison, where a lot of mid-century homes have been renovated once or twice and the finishes need to be matched rather than guessed at.
If you can do it safely, shut the water off at the main or kill power to the affected area. Stay out of any room with standing water near live electrical equipment, and stay out of a fire-damaged structure until it's been cleared. In a condo or apartment, let building management and the units below you know right away. Take photos for the claim if it's safe, then leave the rest to us.
Damage doesn't hold still. Every hour water sits, more material has to come out, and mold gets a head start. If your Edison property has been hit, call now and we'll be there within the hour.
