Riegelsville, Pennsylvania, is a small borough in the northeastern corner of Bucks County on the Delaware River. Across the river is Riegelsville, New Jersey, part of Pohatcong Township in Warren County. This page covers the Pennsylvania borough.
According to the state historical marker, a village grew around Shanks Ferry in the late 1700s. After Benjamin Riegel bought the ferry business in 1806, it became Riegels Ferry and later Riegelsville. The Delaware Canal opened in 1832, and stores and housing followed. A covered bridge over the river opened in the 1830s. The Pumpkin Flood swept it away in October 1903, and the Roebling wire suspension bridge that replaced it opened on April 18, 1904. Riegelsville was part of Durham Township until it was incorporated as a borough on May 15, 1916.
The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission notes that the Roebling bridge is the third oldest superstructure in its 20-bridge system. The canal closed in 1931, but its towpath still runs the length of the borough’s eastern side.
A town built along a canal and river faces real water risk.

Our shop is in Plumstead Township, north of Doylestown along the Route 611 corridor. Riegelsville is also in Bucks County, in its northeastern corner, and Easton Road, Route 611, runs north and south through the west side of the borough’s commercial district. We don’t publish a fixed route or promise an arrival time, since traffic, weather, and the job vary.
A borough commercial district plan lays out the local roads. Delaware Road runs east and west through the district and serves as the town’s main street. It meets the Riegelsville Bridge just east of the canal, connecting to New Jersey. Durham Road runs north and south through the district’s east side. Church Road and Wayside Way mark other edges of the commercial area, which extends south to Maplewood Road.
The borough history notes that lots south of Airy Road, now Delaware Road, opened for development in 1877.
The Delaware Canal towpath stretches the full length of the borough’s eastern side and connects north to Northampton County and south to Durham Township. Access points in the borough are near the bridge on Delaware Road and at a footbridge in the southern part of town.

The Delaware River shapes almost everything about Riegelsville’s flood risk. The National Weather Service tracks the river at the Riegelsville gauge, where flood stage is 22 feet and records go back to 1841.
The highest crest on that list is 38.85 feet on August 19, 1955. The Pumpkin Flood of October 1903 crested at 35.9 feet. In the 2000s, the river crested at 30.95 feet on September 19, 2004, 34.07 feet on April 4, 2005, and 33.62 feet on June 29, 2006. The Weather Service lists 40 floods at this gauge in all.
When the river is that high, water can push into basements and crawl spaces, sometimes rising for hours before slowly falling. It leaves mud and silt behind. River water is Category 3, so wet drywall, insulation, carpet, and other porous materials usually have to come out, and every surface needs cleaning and sanitizing before drying.
Flooding can also disturb fuel tanks, a risk many owners overlook until it happens. A heating oil tank in a flooded basement can shift, tip, or leak, and oil mixed with flood water soaks into concrete, wood, and soil. That changes the cleanup completely and may require help from your oil company and environmental professionals.
Heavy rain causes trouble even when the river stays in its banks. Runoff from higher ground collects against foundations, window wells fill, and sump pumps fail when the power goes out. Outdoor flood water from any source is Category 3 and needs the same careful cleanup.
Winter brings frozen pipes in exterior walls and crawl spaces, ice dams that push meltwater into attics, and furnace puff-backs that coat rooms in soot. Summer humidity slows drying near the river, and damp materials can grow mold within days if nobody measures moisture.
We follow IICRC practices: stop the source, extract the water, clean by Category, and dry to documented readings. For restoration services Riegelsville can rely on after the river drops, Call Now for Fast Service.

This page covers Riegelsville, Pennsylvania, the borough in Bucks County on the west bank of the Delaware River. The Riegelsville across the bridge in New Jersey is part of Pohatcong Township in Warren County, a different state with different permits, codes, and agencies. If your property is on the New Jersey side, call us anyway and we’ll tell you honestly whether we can help from here or point you toward a closer local restoration team. For Pennsylvania borough permits after damage, check with Riegelsville Borough.
Get everyone out if the fumes are strong, and avoid flames, sparks, or switching electrical equipment on or off. Call your oil company to check the tank and lines, and report the spill as your local and state rules require. Oil mixed with flood water spreads into concrete, wood, and soil, so normal flood cleanup won’t remove it. We extract water, remove contaminated materials, clean surfaces, and treat odors, and we’ll coordinate with environmental professionals when soil or groundwater may be affected.
You can, but be careful. Flood water is Category 3, so wear gloves, boots, eye protection, and a properly fitted respirator. Older homes may have lead paint or asbestos in some materials, and disturbing them creates hazards, so get testing if you’re unsure. Photograph everything before removal for your insurance claim, and keep samples of flooring and trim. We’re EPA Lead-Safe Certified, and we can remove damaged materials, clean and sanitize the structure, and dry it to documented readings before rebuilding.
Crawl spaces are tight, dark, and hard to dry, so they’re often skipped. Mud, wet insulation, and standing water left there can lead to mold, odors, and rot in the floor framing above. We pump out water, remove mud and debris, and take out soaked insulation and vapor barriers. Then we clean and treat surfaces, set up drying equipment and dehumidifiers, and track moisture in joists and subfloors until readings are normal. Afterward, you may want to replace the vapor barrier and insulation.
Be cautious. After big floods, some out-of-town contractors show up asking for large cash deposits and then disappear. Ask for a company name, a local phone number, proof of insurance, and Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor registration. Get a written estimate and contract before work starts, and don’t sign over your insurance check. Call your insurer before agreeing to anything. We’re locally owned in Bucks County, IICRC certified, and we’ll give you a written scope and document all work for your claim.
