Denville Township is considered one of the best places to live in New Jersey, with excellent public schools and a beautiful downtown. If there is one downside to living in Denville near the downtown corridor along Route 10, it is the risk of flooding after major hurricanes.
After experiencing significant flooding from Hurricane Irene, the US Army Corps of Engineers commissioned a study and a plan to reduce future flood risks. With a majority of residential and commercial development clustered along the Rockaway River, property owners in Denville are at substantial risk for flooding and persistent basement water intrusion without a professional waterproofing solution in place.
Compounding the issue is the dense clay soil found throughout Morris County.
Clay expands when saturated, pressing against foundation walls with increasing force. It then contracts when dry, pulling away from the foundation and creating pathways that concentrate the next rainfall directly against the wall.
Over time, it progressively widens cracks and fatigues the block mortar joints that were originally installed decades ago.
Between the prevalence of mid-century homes not designed for extreme weather and the rising elevation near landmarks like Lake Arrowhead, homes outside of downtown Denville remain at equal risk of flooding and basement water intrusion without proper waterproofing.
United Waterproofing provides Denville Township homeowners with permanent, patent-pending waterproofing and foundation reinforcement systems designed for extreme weather conditions and poorly draining soils in Morris County.
Every system is backed by a transferable Lifetime Warranty and executed by our trained in-house team–we never outsource to subcontractors.
Denville features a unique mix of flat, low-lying downtown areas and steep, rocky hillsides. This sharp geographic contrast creates two distinct water problems for local homeowners, neither of which can be solved by standard passive hardware-store solutions.
Common issues our technicians encounter in Denville include:
Until Denville completes long-term flood control upgrades along the Rockaway River, municipal drainage systems cannot protect your home from rising groundwater and hillside runoff.
A professional, active waterproofing system is your only line of defense to prevent severe structural damage and constant basement flooding.
United Waterproofing provides fully customized groundwater management and structural reinforcement systems for each Denville property, based on lot grade, foundation type, soil conditions, and proximity to the low river basin groundwater.
What makes our waterproofing systems different:
Using a combination of interior and exterior waterproofing products, our systems divert water before it reaches your foundation and remove it before it contacts footings or the foundation structure.
United Waterproofing provides expert basement waterproofing throughout Denville Township and the surrounding Morris County area, including:
From hillside post-war block foundations to lake-adjacent properties with elevated seasonal groundwater, we install waterproofing and foundation reinforcement systems engineered for Morris County’s terrain and soil conditions.
