The Storms That Damage Rahway Properties
Coastal surge and tidal creeks
Superstorm Sandy in 2012 sent storm surge into Carteret's waterfront and damaged the Waterfront Walkway in Sewaren and flooded a Port Reading neighborhood along the Arthur Kill. Nor'easters and coastal storms can still raise water on the tidal creeks and rivers, pushing water into streets, yards and lower floors.
Sudden summer cloudbursts
The remnants of Ida in 2021 and the flash flooding of July 2025 brought flooding to towns across Union County and Middlesex County. Rain that falls faster than storm drains can carry it away floods streets and basements, closes roads and can bring down trees and limbs onto roofs.
Wind, trees and roof openings
High winds can lift shingles, drop limbs and open the roof to rain. A small opening lets water into the attic, ceilings and insulation. Emergency tarping and board-up limit further damage while the claim is documented and repairs are scheduled.

Signs You Need Storm Damage Restoration, and What To Do First
- Missing or lifted shingles, or a tree limb on the roof
- Water stains on ceilings after wind-driven rain
- Broken windows, doors, or siding
- Water in the basement after a flash flood
- Ice dams along the roof edge with water inside the house
- A musty smell in the attic in the weeks after a storm
Stay away from downed power lines and do not enter a flooded basement until the power is off. If it is safe, cover openings and move valuables away from leaks, take photos of the damage, and call (732) 365-8566 so we can tarp, board up, and start drying.
What Affects the Scope and Timeline
The scope depends on how the storm got in: through the roof, through broken openings, or through the basement. Wind and hail damage often lets water into attics and wall cavities, where it spreads before stains appear. We inspect the whole path of the water and document it for your adjuster.
Tarping and board-up happen the same day. Drying usually takes 3 to 5 days, and repairs follow, with timing that depends on roofing and material availability after widespread storms.
What We Restore After a Storm
- Roofs and attics after wind and hail
- Ceilings and drywall after wind-driven rain
- Basements after flash floods
- Windows, doors, and siding
- Ceilings and walls after ice dams
- Garages and outbuildings
- Contents and furniture
- Commercial roofs and storefronts
