South River Cleanup and Restoration

Dual Disaster of Fire Damage and Water Damage in South River

Originally, South River, NJ, was part of East Brunswick Township. The town was incorporated as an independent borough in 1898 and named after the Raritan River's South River tributary. Once a bustling industrial town with mills and factories, it's now a tranquil residential area. Families can enroll their kids at South River Primary School, South River Elementary School, South River Middle School, and South River High School. Several famous individuals hail from the borough, including author Janet Evanovich, painter Joseph Csatari, ballet dancer Angelica Generosa, and scientist Lyle Goodhue. 

There is always somewhere to escape for relaxation in South River, NJ, like a quiet afternoon fishing at Daley's Pond Recreation Area and Bissett's Recreation Area or some weekend stroll at Edward A. Grekoski Park and Pacer's Field. The borough is dotted with small businesses, including La Femme Spa Salon, and larger corporations like Millwood, Inc. (South River) – Pallet Manufacturing Facility and JADS Construction Co. When residents need to grab something quick, a stop by Stop N Go Smokeshop & Grocery Store, Pantry1 Food Mart, or Minit Mart Food Store before heading home would solve all that. South River shows togetherness through local events like the Toys for Tots Christmas Galla on Dec 14, 2024, at Veteran of Foreign Wars. 

Fire Damage Cleanup on Charred Surfaces  

Fire and water damage is common when firefighting efforts are made to douse flames. Restoring the home needs a multi-layered approach since a restoration team like SERVPRO® has to remove the charred remains of the fire-damaged structure and address the emerging mold before it causes further structural damage. If the structural integrity of charred materials like wood remains intact, removing the charred remains becomes the priority.

SERVPRO's approach to combat charring 

• Soda blasting
• Scraping and sanding
• Dry ice blasting

Preventing Mold After Water Intrusion

Water damage is common, as the water used to douse the flames penetrates different materials, making an ideal environment for mold development. SERVPRO crews use advanced moisture detection tools such as thermal imaging cameras and thermo-hygrometers to find hidden pockets of water and dehumidifiers to dry the house as quickly as possible.
