Milltown Cleanup and Restoration

Water Damage and Fire Damage in Milltown

Milltown, incorporated in 1889 and formerly known as Bergen's Mill, developed around a gristmill constructed in 1769 on Lawrence Brook. It earned its name as a proper "mill town" thanks to several mills and related industries along the brook.

One of the standout historic structures is the Milltown India Rubber Company building, which was constructed between 1899 and 1900. The Italianate-style landmark, featuring a tall smokestack, has found a place in the National Register of Historic Places. You can also spot the charming Raritan River Railroad Freight Station, the only surviving freight station of its kind from the old railroad line. 

If you stroll through the streets of Milltown, don't miss the classic St. Paul's United Church of Christ or the United Methodist Church, both well-regarded local landmarks. The Mill Pond Park, situated along Lawrence Brook, is just great for a leisurely walk. If you're interested in local history, the Milltown Historical Society offers walking tours that provide fascinating insights into old firehouses and the former Michelin site.

Although it's tiny, just 1.6 square miles, with a population of around 7,000, Milltown is packed with colonial and industrial heritage, green spaces, and a friendly small-town vibe.

The Campfire @ The Cyber Cave fires up on July 16 in Bridgewater, NJ, just miles from Milltown. The free event offers a fun and informal exploration of cybersecurity. If you're nearby, stop by and join the conversation! 

Media Blasting in Fire Damage Restoration    

Media blasting is a technique SERVPRO® uses to remove soot and char from fire-damaged surfaces. Using materials like baking soda or dry ice, it gently cleans brick, wood, and metal without damaging the surface, ideal when smoke residues are deeply embedded and scrubbing alone won't work.

Using Air Movers After Water Damage     

Air movers are high-velocity fans that SERVPRO technicians use to speed up the drying process after water damage. Once we remove the standing water, these machines circulate air across walls, floors, and furniture, helping evaporate moisture faster and preventing mold growth. They are essential in the structural drying process.
