Paterson, known as the “Silk City,” is New Jersey’s third-largest city with a rich industrial history dating back to the early 19th century.
Home to the Great Falls of the Passaic River, the city became a hub for textile mills and manufacturing, and today features historic brick row homes, multi-family residences, and revitalized urban neighborhoods.
While Paterson’s urban character is part of its charm, it also brings unique challenges.
Narrow lots, older masonry foundations, and high rainfall—averaging 49 inches of rain and 25 inches of snow annually—make local basements prone to flooding and water damage.
Homes near the Passaic River or along Garret Mountain experience additional pressure from rising groundwater and storm runoff, while older multi-family buildings often have outdated drainage systems that cannot handle heavy precipitation.
United Waterproofing provides a patent-pending waterproofing and foundation repair system designed for Paterson homes, protecting basements and foundations from water intrusion and structural damage.
Many Paterson homes are located on tight urban lots with poor soil drainage and minimal grading.
This can lead to water pooling against foundation walls and increased hydrostatic pressure, which, over time, causes:
Even small leaks can escalate quickly in multi-family or attached homes, making professional waterproofing and foundation reinforcement essential.
United Waterproofing delivers a comprehensive system that addresses water intrusion at its source while strengthening foundations for long-term durability.
Every installation is designed for Paterson’s urban lots, older masonry, and high-rainfall conditions.
