- Commercial properties in North Jersey needing quick water damage turnaround to minimize business downtime.
About this company
NJ Water Damage Restoration LLC is a Clifton-based restoration company that handles both water damage and mold work. Founded in 2018, they operate primarily as a water damage outfit that added mold services, not the other way around. Their Google listing categorizes them as a water damage restoration service, and their website leads with water emergencies. Mold remediation, inspection, and cleaning are secondary services.
Their website describes a seven-step mold remediation process that includes containment with negative air pressure, HEPA air scrubbing, antimicrobial treatment, and structural drying with dehumidifiers. They also offer air and surface sampling for mold testing, along with infrared cameras and moisture meters for detection. Nothing on the site stands out as unusual for a restoration company of this size. The equipment list is standard for the trade.
Banush is the owner and the name that comes up most in reviews. The company is locally owned, serves both residential and commercial properties, and bills insurance directly. They claim 24/7 emergency availability and offer free estimates. Multiple reviewers confirm same-day or next-day response times.
57 Google reviews with a perfect 5.0 rating is notable. Not a single reviewer has left fewer than 5 stars. For context, a perfect score with this volume typically means a newer company that has maintained tight quality control over a limited customer base. The review volume is modest but the consistency is real.
Services
Service area
Headquartered in Clifton, NJ (Passaic County). The website claims coverage across 11 New Jersey counties: Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson, Union, Somerset, Morris, Middlesex, Monmouth, Hunterdon, and Mercer. Specific cities mentioned include Hackensack, Paramus, Newark, and Elmwood Park. That is a wide footprint for a single small operation based in North Jersey.
Review consensus
Banush (the owner) is named in at least eight reviews. Reviewers credit him specifically for explaining the insurance claim process, responding quickly to emergencies, and staying communicative throughout jobs. PZee called him 'super kind and so patient.' Carmine Valente, a Local Guide, praised Banush for guiding him through insurance claims and noted the team performed both cleanup and removal work. Multiple reviewers highlight same-day or next-day arrival. Insurance help is the second most common praise theme after response speed. Several reviewers mention the team handled everything from water extraction through final repairs.
0 found across 57 total reviews at 5.0★. No 1-star reviews found. No negative reviews of any kind in the last 18 months. With 57 total reviews at 5.0 stars, the absence of complaints means there is nothing to report here.
The review base has an unusually high proportion of reviewers with low review counts. Many have only 1-5 total Google reviews and are not Local Guides. A few reviews posted on the same dates cover similar themes (March 2025 and September 2025 clusters). The reviews that carry the most weight are from established reviewers like Eric Yun (58 reviews, Local Guide), Carmine Valente (14 reviews, Local Guide), and Eltion Meka (23 reviews, Local Guide), all of whom gave detailed positive accounts. The perfect 5.0 score across 57 reviews is statistically unusual for any service business.
Banush (owner — praised repeatedly for communication, insurance guidance, and emergency response). Also referred to as 'Banoush' by Maaz Qureshi and 'Ben' by PZee and Ocean Anuru.
If you hire this company, ask for Banush directly. He is the person reviewers consistently credit for managing the insurance process and overseeing the work. Given the conflict of interest between their testing and remediation services, get an independent mold assessment first. For water damage emergencies in the Clifton area, the response time reputation is strong.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation. The same company that tells you whether you have a mold problem also sells the fix. Consider getting an independent mold test before committing to their remediation services.
- Their service area claim covers 11 counties across New Jersey, stretching from Bergen County down to Mercer and Monmouth. That is a large geographic range for a single small company based in Clifton. Confirm response times for locations outside Passaic and Bergen counties.
- The company was founded in 2018 and has 57 reviews. That is a relatively short track record. All reviews are 5-star, which is unusually uniform for any service company.
- Their primary identity is water damage restoration, not mold. If you need standalone mold testing or remediation without a water damage component, a mold-focused specialist may be a better fit.
