About this company
Statewide Emergency Restoration Services is a family-run restoration firm based in South Amboy, NJ, operating since 1969. Their primary identity is water damage restoration, but they also handle mold remediation, mold testing, sewage cleanup, and hoarding cleanup. They run 24/7 emergency service and work directly with insurance companies on claims documentation.
The website mentions air movers as equipment and references IICRC certification. Nothing about their methods stands out as unusual for a restoration company of this size. They do not describe specific containment procedures, testing methodologies, or equipment beyond air movers on their site.
Jon (also referred to as John or Jonathan in reviews) runs the operation. Multiple reviewers describe him as personally involved in jobs, returning for follow-up visits, and offering fair pricing. The company claims statewide New Jersey coverage, but their named service areas concentrate in central New Jersey, mostly Middlesex and Monmouth counties.

Review consensus
Jon (also called John or Jonathan) dominates the positive reviews. Reviewers highlight his same-day or rapid response, honest pricing, and willingness to do follow-up visits at no extra charge. Dan Ventricelli noted Jon's team returned as a courtesy to find the source of crawl space water. Robert Khalev reported Jon left equipment onsite for two weeks while waiting for air testing results. Kim Xu, a repeat customer, noted extra work done without extra charges. Alex appears in recent 2026 reviews for emergency pipe work, with Corey Muniz (a general contractor) praising Alex for helping with both mitigation and an insurance claim. Vincent Serignese specifically praised Jon and Joe for being compassionate about pets during a water damage job.
0 found across 25 total reviews at 4.8★. No 1-star or negative reviews found in the last 18 months. Across 25 total reviews at 4.8 stars, every review is 4 or 5 stars. The single 4-star review from Judith Tschirgi noted the company worked well with her independent inspector during mold remediation, suggesting no friction when a third-party tester is involved.
The review timeline spans 2014 to 2026, averaging roughly two reviews per year. A cluster of five reviews appeared in early 2026, several mentioning frozen pipe emergencies, suggesting seasonal demand spikes drive review activity. Several early reviews come from single-review accounts, which is common for a small local company but worth noting.
Jon/John/Jonathan (owner — praised across many reviews for responsiveness, honesty, fair pricing, and personal job oversight). Alex (field technician — praised in 2026 reviews for emergency pipe repair and water mitigation). Joe (crew member — praised by Vincent Serignese for kindness during a water damage job).
This is a small, owner-operated firm where Jon personally handles most jobs. If you want a single point of contact who shows up, gives you a straight answer on pricing, and follows through, ask for Jon directly. Because they handle both testing and remediation, bring in your own independent tester for mold work to keep the process honest.
Keep in mind
- They do both mold testing and mold remediation, which creates a conflict of interest. The same company that tells you mold exists also gets paid to remove it. Consider hiring an independent testing firm.
- The name says 'Statewide,' but their listed service areas cluster in Middlesex and Monmouth counties. If you are outside central New Jersey, confirm they actually serve your area before scheduling.
- With only 25 Google reviews accumulated since 2014, the review volume is thin. The 4.8-star rating looks strong but draws from a small sample.
- The website describes services in general terms without detailing specific equipment, containment methods, or testing procedures. Ask for specifics before signing a contract.
