Essex County receives nearly 49 inches of rain annually and 28 inches of snow, well above the national averages, even for the region.
With neighborhoods located in low-lying urban centers like Newark and elevated, hilly communities in Montclair and West Orange, many basements across Essex County face a perfect storm of excess runoff and poor drainage that could cause water intrusion.
Older homes, like the brownstones in Newark and the Tudors in South Orange, predate modern drainage standards and are especially vulnerable to moisture damage.
Even newer homes in the sprawling suburbs outside Newark can be vulnerable to flooding from a single burst pipe or a damaged gutter that channels water into the basement.
United Waterproofing uses a better system for waterproofing than local competitors.
Our patent-pending waterproofing process intercepts water before it reaches your foundation, using high-capacity sump pumps, perforated piping, and corrosion-resistant materials designed for Essex County’s unique topography and climate.
