Woodbridge Township holds a unique place in New Jersey history. It was officially incorporated on April 1, 1669, making it the oldest township in New Jersey.
Early development centered around shipbuilding, clay mining, and port activity along the Raritan River and Arthur Kill, which helped shape the township’s long-standing role as a transportation and industrial hub.
Residential growth expanded significantly in the late 19th and 20th centuries, with major housing booms occurring between 1920 and 1940 and again after World War II from 1945 to 1975.
As a result, Woodbridge features a wide range of historic homes, mid-century neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions across communities such as Avenel, Colonia, Fords, Iselin, Port Reading, Sewaren, and Woodbridge Proper.
Many of these homes were built long before modern foundation drainage and waterproofing standards existed.
Woodbridge Township receives approximately 49 inches of rainfall and 25 inches of snow each year, and its low-lying coastal terrain, combined with clay-heavy soils, can trap groundwater around foundations.
Homes near tidal waterways, former wetlands, or flat interior lots are especially prone to basement seepage, hydrostatic pressure, and moisture intrusion during heavy rain or storm surge events.
That’s why United Waterproofing installs a patent-pending basement waterproofing and foundation repair system engineered specifically for Woodbridge Township’s soil conditions, elevation, and seasonal water patterns.
In Woodbridge Township, basement water problems are often tied to low elevation and fluctuating groundwater levels, especially in neighborhoods near the Arthur Kill, Raritan River, and tidal creeks.
Even homes that never experience visible flooding can suffer from groundwater pressing upward beneath basement slabs.
This frequently leads to:
Because these issues originate below the foundation, surface sealants or basic sump pumps alone rarely provide lasting protection. Effective waterproofing requires intercepting groundwater and relieving pressure at the structural level.
United Waterproofing designs integrated systems that manage groundwater, relieve pressure, and stabilize foundations in low-lying and coastal-adjacent communities like Woodbridge Township.
Each system is customized to your property’s soil profile, elevation, and drainage conditions.
