Basement Waterproofing in Union County & Beyond

What’s Involved in Basement Waterproofing?

Since every home is different, we never use a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on our findings, we may recommend one solution or a combination of fixes like these:

• French drain installation to redirect water away from your home's foundation.
• Sump pump or battery backup system to collect groundwater before it can flood your home.
• Minimally invasive basement foundation repair solutions to strengthen basement walls and floors.
• Weep hole installation to reduce hydrostatic pressure and remove moisture from inside walls.
• Crawl space repair, including water removal and encapsulation (waterproofing).
• Exterior landscape drains that move water away from your home's foundation and basement.
• Dehumidifier installation that minimizes moisture and improves indoor air quality.

Blue Umbrella specializes in interior and exterior waterproofing solutions. If you can already see visible damage to your home’s foundation, we also specialize in crack repair and basement foundation repair in Union County, NJ and beyond.

Before offering our professional recommendation, we consider every important factor: home age, property grading, foundation depth and more. Rest assured by the time we present your options, we’ve done our homework to ensure our advice is right for you.

What Are the Benefits?

Waterproofing your basement is about more than just staying dry. Benefits include:

• Improved health and safety. A wet, humid basement creates a perfect environment for mold growth. Waterproofing your basement can help prevent future mold problems and relieve allergy symptoms, upper respiratory infections and more.
• Increased home value. Do you plan on ever selling your home? Prospective buyers and realtors will inspect your basement for signs of water damage. If your home's lower level is in bad shape, this will significantly reduce your home’s overall value. Even if there aren’t noticeable signs of water damage, waterproofing is still wise because it gives prospective buyers one less thing to worry about, thus increasing home value.
• More usable space. You’re already paying for the space in your basement. Why not get the most out of it? Once your basement is waterproofed, you can turn it into a private office, a theater room, a guest living area or whatever you choose. The possibilities are endless. Keep in mind that if you are planning to finish your basement, you should waterproof it first.
• Peace of mind. Are you afraid the next spring thaw or heavy rainfall will be the final straw for your wet basement? A proper waterproofing job can finally put your worries to rest. For year-round peace of mind, learn more about our Umbrella Maintenance Plan.
