Originally settled in the 18th century, the region surrounding Washington Township in Morris County, N.J., grew with farming and early milling along the South Branch of the Raritan River.
The heart of the township, the Long Valley, was originally named the German Valley after German settlers in the area who hailed from Saxony.
Mostly rural, neighborhoods around Long Valley, Fairmount, Pleasant Grove, and Schooley’s Mountain feature historic farmhouses, creek-adjacent homes, and newer suburban developments spread out across the landscape.
However, the same outdoor amenities that make Washington Township desirable to live also create challenges for basements and foundations.
The township receives roughly 43 inches of rainfall and over 28 inches of snow each year, and its clay-rich hillside soils can trap water around foundations.
Homes in valleys or near stream corridors are especially prone to seepage, flooding, or shifting foundation walls.
United Waterproofing installs a patent-pending waterproofing and foundation reinforcement system designed specifically for Washington Township’s soil, moisture conditions, and seasonal weather patterns.
Even when basements don’t flood, Washington Township homes commonly struggle with high humidity and moisture vapor, especially near wooded or low-lying areas. This invisible moisture can:
Many homeowners overlook humidity because they don’t see standing water. But moist air is often the first sign of drainage failure. Catching it early prevents structural issues later.
