Basement Waterproofing in Jersey City, NJ

Basement waterproofing is essential to protect your home from water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. At Jersey City Foundation, we offer comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions to keep your basement dry and your home safe. Here are the details of our basement waterproofing services:

Interior Waterproofing Systems

Interior Drainage Systems

Our interior drainage systems effectively manage and divert water away from your basement. We install a network of drainage pipes along the perimeter of your basement floor, connected to a sump pump system. The water collected by the drainage pipes is directed to the sump pump, which then pumps it out and away from your home. This system prevents water from accumulating in your basement and ensures a dry and safe environment.

Sump Pump Installation

A sump pump is a crucial component of any interior waterproofing system. We offer a range of high-quality sump pumps, including primary, battery backup, and combination systems. Our experts will help you choose the best sump pump for your needs and ensure it is installed correctly for optimal performance. A reliable sump pump system is your first line of defense against basement flooding.

Vapor Barriers

Installing a vapor barrier on the walls and floors of your basement helps to prevent moisture from seeping into your living space. We use high-quality vapor barriers that are designed to withstand the test of time. These barriers not only keep moisture out but also improve the overall air quality in your basement by reducing humidity levels.

Basement Dehumidifiers

High humidity levels in your basement can lead to mold growth and other moisture-related issues. Our basement dehumidifiers are designed to efficiently remove excess moisture from the air, maintaining a healthy and comfortable environment. We offer a range of dehumidifiers to suit different basement sizes and humidity levels.


Exterior Waterproofing

Exterior Waterproof Membranes

Applying a waterproof membrane to the exterior foundation walls is an effective way to prevent water from entering your basement. Our waterproof membranes are made from durable, high-quality materials that provide long-lasting protection. The membrane is applied to the exterior walls, creating a barrier that keeps water out and protects your foundation from moisture damage.

Exterior Drainage Systems

An exterior drainage system, also known as a French drain, is installed around the perimeter of your foundation to redirect water away from your home. This system involves excavating a trench around the foundation, installing a perforated pipe, and backfilling with gravel. The drainage system collects and directs water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of basement flooding and water damage.

Foundation Wall Sealing

Sealing the foundation walls with a waterproof coating is another effective exterior waterproofing solution. We apply a high-quality, flexible sealant to the exterior walls, which prevents water from penetrating the foundation and entering your basement. This method is particularly useful for homes with existing cracks or porous foundation walls.


Basement Wall Sealing

Epoxy Injection

Epoxy injection is a method used to seal cracks in basement walls. The epoxy resin is injected into the crack, filling it completely and creating a watertight seal. Once cured, the epoxy restores the structural integrity of the wall and prevents water from seeping through the crack.

Polyurethane Foam Injection

Polyurethane foam injection is another effective method for sealing cracks in basement walls. The foam expands to fill the crack, providing a flexible, durable seal that can accommodate slight movements in the foundation. This method is particularly useful for sealing cracks in areas prone to moisture or where minor shifts in the foundation are expected.


Crawl Space Encapsulation

Vapor Barriers

Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space walls and floors with a vapor barrier to prevent moisture intrusion. We use high-quality, durable vapor barriers that create a continuous seal, keeping moisture out and improving the overall air quality in your home. Encapsulation also helps to reduce energy costs by improving the insulation of your crawl space.

Insulation Installation

Proper insulation in your crawl space is essential for maintaining a stable temperature and preventing moisture buildup. We install high-quality insulation that meets the specific needs of your crawl space, helping to regulate temperature and reduce energy costs. Insulating your crawl space also helps to protect your home from the effects of cold and humidity.

Dehumidifiers

Installing a dehumidifier in your encapsulated crawl space helps to maintain a dry and healthy environment. Our dehumidifiers are designed to efficiently remove excess moisture from the air, preventing mold growth and other moisture-related issues. We offer a range of dehumidifiers to suit different crawl space sizes and humidity levels.


Additional Waterproofing Solutions

Window Well Covers

Window wells can be a source of water entry into your basement. Installing window well covers helps to prevent rainwater, debris, and snow from accumulating in the wells and seeping into your basement. We offer a variety of durable, high-quality window well covers that provide effective protection and enhance the appearance of your home.

Gutter and Downspout Extensions

Properly functioning gutters and downspouts are essential for directing water away from your foundation. We provide gutter and downspout extensions to ensure that water is effectively channeled away from your home, reducing the risk of basement flooding. Our extensions are designed to be durable and efficient, providing long-lasting protection.
