Clinton Borough is located on the South Branch of the Raritan River in Hunterdon County, which is considered a high-risk floodplain, putting local residents at risk for standing water in their basements after storms.
While the Raritan River serves as the iconic backdrop for the famous Red Mill, homes in the surrounding floodplain frequently experience water intrusion thanks to a combination of the high water table and low terrain–even without a severe storm.
Clinton’s age also contributes to its unique vulnerability to basement water intrusion. Many structures around Clinton are over 100 years old, and some even predate the American Revolution, as the town traces its roots back to 1713, when it was known as Lebanon.
While a majority of homes have been built within the last 100 years, several still feature local stone and brick foundations that have sustained generations of flood exposure, rising groundwater, and endless freeze-thaw cycles.
Without a professional waterproofing system designed to manage rising groundwater beneath your foundation and protect you from extreme flooding, you could be putting your home and safety at risk for catastrophic damage.
Don’t let severe storms and the rainy season put your basement at risk for flooding.
United Waterproofing provides a permanent solution built specifically for homes in high-risk floodplains using a patent-pending basement waterproofing and foundation reinforcement system.
Each product is specially designed for maximum durability and to reinforce masonry foundations that struggle with the high-volume drainage challenges of the South Branch Raritan corridor.
Every system is also backed by a lifetime warranty.
The combination of a high water table, steep valley slopes, and foundations that predate modern building codes creates a perfect storm for water damage across Clinton.
Common issues our technicians encounter in Clinton include:
Left alone, Clinton’s unique mix of river flooding and hillside runoff causes progressive damage that gets worse with every passing season, turning a minor moisture issue into a structural emergency.
Groundwater management and structural reinforcement systems require full customization for each specific property. Factoring in proximity to the floodplain, the age of the historic masonry, the slope of the yard, and peak water inflow rates ensures a foundation is properly protected.
Every single installation is handled by a dedicated, in-house team—never outsourced to subcontractors—and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Here is a look at what sets these systems apart:
By combining interior and exterior drainage products tailored specifically to local geography, these systems catch peak water levels and pump them away safely before they can compromise foundation footings or the structural base.
United Waterproofing provides patent-pending basement waterproofing solutions throughout Clinton Town and Clinton Township and the surrounding Hunterdon County area, including:
From 18th-century mill town stone foundations in downtown Clinton to mid-century residential construction in the surrounding townships, we install waterproofing and foundation repair systems engineered for the South Branch Raritan watershed’s floodplain and hillside drainage conditions.
