Excavation & Underground Utilities in River Edge, NJ
JWSR LLC is a local, licensed and insured excavation and utility contractor working in River Edge and across Bergen County. River Edge sits about 32 miles southeast of our Hamburg yard, roughly 50 minutes out, so we can get a crew and the right machine there without a long wait.
In River Edge, a lot of our work is drainage and grading
River Edge sits in the low, flat Hackensack River and Meadowlands corridor, where a high water table and heavy runoff make standing water and flooding a constant battle. That is why a good chunk of what we do here is drainage and grading.
When a yard will not drain, a basement keeps taking water, or a lot floods every spring, that is our wheelhouse: French drains, regrading, swales, and moving water away from the house for good. That is a big part of what we do here, but it is far from the only thing. We still handle sewer and water lines, septic, grading, driveways, and emergency digs across town.

Bergen County is dense and suburban, with tight lots and older infrastructure. That means precise excavation, sewer and water main work, and underground utilities where there is no room for error.
In a built-up borough like River Edge, most of our work is sewer and water lines, underground utilities, and excavation in tighter spots. Whether it is an emergency sewer or water line dig-out, a septic system, a lot that will not drain, or a new driveway, we bring our own equipment and an operator who knows the ground in this part of Bergen County. We show up when we say we will, and we leave your property graded and clean.

Working in River Edge
How fast can you get to River Edge?
River Edge is roughly 50 minutes from our Hamburg base, so we can usually be out for an estimate quickly, and for a sewer or water line emergency we start moving right away, day or night.
Do you handle sewer and water line work in River Edge?
Yes. Sewer and water line repair and replacement is core work for us in built-up parts of Bergen County like River Edge, including tight-access digs and emergency line breaks. Many homes here built between 1945 and 1972 still have Orangeburg sewer laterals, a wood pulp and tar pipe that fails with age, and replacing those is work we do every week.

Yes. JWSR LLC is a licensed and insured New Jersey contractor, and we work across Bergen County and six other counties. We pull the permits, mark out, and do it by the book.
