Basement Waterproofing

Serving Hoboken and Hudson County, NJ

What it involves

Basement WaterproofingInterior waterproofing installs a drainage channel along the perimeter of the basement floor, below the slab, that collects any water entering through the walls or floor and routes it to a sump pit. From there, a sump pump discharges it away from the foundation. The system does not stop water at the wall — it manages it before it can reach the floor and cause damage.

When you need it

Interior waterproofing is the right choice when your foundation walls show widespread seepage across multiple sections, when exterior excavation is not practical due to lot access, or when you've had repeated flooding that a sump pump alone has not controlled.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair

Serving Hoboken and Hudson County, NJ

What it involves

Sump Pump Installation & RepairA sump pump sits in a pit below the basement floor and automatically turns on when groundwater rises to a set level. Submersible pumps sit inside the pit and are quieter; pedestal pumps sit above it and are easier to service. Battery backup systems run the pump during power outages — which often coincide with the storms that cause flooding.

When you need it

You need a sump pump if you have an interior drainage system, if your basement has flooded during past storms, or if your existing pump is more than seven to ten years old or running constantly. A pump that runs constantly without actually flooding is a sign that the water table in your area is persistently high.

Foundation Crack Injection

Serving Hoboken and Hudson County, NJ

What it involves

Foundation Crack InjectionCrack injection fills a foundation crack from the inside using either epoxy or polyurethane resin. Epoxy bonds the crack structurally and restores near-original concrete strength. Polyurethane foam expands to fill the crack and remains flexible, making it better for cracks where slight movement continues. Both are permanent solutions for active leaks when done correctly.

When you need it

Crack injection works best on isolated cracks in poured concrete foundations that have a single defined pathway. It is not the right solution for widespread block foundation seepage or for cracks in foundations that have significant structural movement — those require a more involved assessment.

Basement Dehumidification

Serving Hoboken and Hudson County, NJ

What it involves

Basement DehumidificationA whole-basement dehumidifier runs continuously or on a set schedule to maintain relative humidity below 50 percent. At that level, mold cannot grow and wood framing does not absorb enough moisture to rot. Unlike portable units, whole-basement systems drain automatically through a condensate line and do not require you to empty a bucket.

When you need it

Dehumidification is the right starting point when your basement smells musty or damp but walls appear dry and show no active seepage — especially in summer months. If you have both active water intrusion and high humidity, you need waterproofing first and dehumidification second. Running a dehumidifier in a leaking basement just makes the pump work harder.
