Water damage restoration in Cherry Hill means removing water, drying the structure to normal moisture levels and cleaning or replacing what the water ruined, in homes, townhomes and commercial buildings in ZIPs 08002, 08003 and 08034. When you call, we ask what happened and how far the water spread, then connect you with a local restoration pro who arrives with extraction and drying equipment and a moisture meter.
Cherry Hill is a large Camden County suburb built out mostly in the 1950s through the 1970s, with neighborhoods such as Erlton, Kingston Estates, Barclay Farm, Woodcrest, Springdale and Ashland. The Cooper River runs along the north side and the South Branch of Pennsauken Creek along the northeast, with smaller streams and storm drains feeding them.
The median home was built in 1968 and about 76 percent are owner-occupied. Many of those houses have basements, which is where water damage most often shows up. Original drain lines, aging water heaters and sump pumps that run hard every wet season are a big part of why Cherry Hill homeowners call.
Home Water Damage in Cherry Hill
The classic Cherry Hill water call is a basement: a sump pump that stopped during a downpour, a floor drain that backed up, or water seeping in at the base of the wall during a long rain. Finished basements with carpet, paneling and storage take the worst of it. Upstairs, washing machine hoses, toilet supply lines and dishwasher lines fail in the kitchens and baths of homes that are now decades old. The crew pumps out standing water, removes soaked pad and drywall above the waterline, and dries the space with dehumidifiers and air movers.
Winter brings its own risk. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated garages can freeze during an arctic front.
Common home calls
- Sump pump failure in a storm. The pump burns out or loses power during heavy rain and the finished basement takes on water.
- Frozen pipe in an outside wall. A fast freeze splits a pipe in an exterior wall or crawl space, and the leak starts when it thaws.
- Water heater leak. An older tank in a basement utility room fails and soaks the carpet in the next room.
- Floor drain backup. A clogged lateral sends dirty water up through the basement floor drain, which needs category 3 cleanup.
- Second-floor washer leak. A laundry hose bursts upstairs in a townhome and water comes through the kitchen ceiling.
Commercial Water Damage in Cherry Hill
Cherry Hill has a busy commercial side, with regional retail along Route 38 and Route 73, office parks, medical offices and outpatient buildings, hotels, restaurants, schools and houses of worship. Commercial water damage often comes from a flat roof that leaks in a nor'easter, a pipe that bursts in a closed office over a holiday, or a supply line that fails overnight in a medical suite. The crew extracts water, sets commercial drying equipment and keeps a moisture record so the space can reopen as soon as it is dry.
For a leaking sprinkler line, leave the sprinkler system to your fire protection contractor and fire safety plan, then call for the drying.
Properties we help
- Medical and dental offices. A supply line fails overnight and exam rooms need extraction, drying and moisture checks before reopening.
- Retail centers. Wind-driven rain gets past a flat roof and rooftop units and drips into several stores at once.
- Office parks. A pipe bursts during a long holiday weekend and wets carpet tiles and drywall on two floors.
- Hotels and restaurants. A floor drain backs up or a guest room overflows into the rooms below.
- Schools and houses of worship. A building closed for a break has a burst pipe that runs for days before anyone returns.

Why Cherry Hill Properties Take On Water
Cherry Hill's water damage profile comes from its building era. Most neighborhoods went up between the 1950s and 1970s, many with basements, so groundwater, sump pumps and floor drains drive a large share of calls. The Cooper River and the South Branch of Pennsauken Creek drain the township, and in a very heavy rain they can rise fast. Add a busy commercial corridor of retail, offices and medical buildings, and Cherry Hill sees a steady mix of basement floods at home and roof or plumbing leaks at work.
Neighborhoods and sections we cover
Basements in older subdivisions
Many 1950s to 1970s homes have basements, which take on water first when sump pumps fail or groundwater rises.
Fast-rising creeks in extreme rain
In July 2004 the South Branch Pennsauken Creek at Cherry Hill peaked at about a 100-year flood level.
Aging plumbing and appliances
With a median build year of 1968, many homes still use decades-old drain lines and water heaters that fail without warning.
Weather and Flood Risks in Cherry Hill
The biggest flood in recent Cherry Hill memory came on July 12 and 13, 2004, when about 7.9 inches of rain fell on the township and the South Branch of Pennsauken Creek peaked at about a 100-year flood level. Burlington and Camden counties were declared disaster areas on July 16, 2004, after the storm topped or damaged dams across the region. Nor'easters and late-summer tropical remnants can still bring that kind of rain.
Nearby Moorestown averages about 49.3 inches of rain a year, spread across every season. Winter brings hard freezes too: around Christmas 2022, an arctic front swung temperatures by about 49 degrees in a single day, and local news reported frozen and burst pipes in South Jersey apartments.
