As of 2025, Clifton is home to over 85,000 residents and is one of the largest cities in Passaic County.
It was established in the early 1700s, originally as farmland, but grew rapidly in the 19th century with the arrival of the Morris Canal and industrial development.
Today, Clifton combines historic homes, apartment complexes, and newer subdivisions, alongside natural landmarks like Weasel Brook Park, Third River, and Garret Mountain.
While Clifton’s urban-suburban environment makes it a great place to live, it also presents unique challenges for basements and foundations.
With an average of 49 inches of rainfall and 25 inches of snow per year, coupled with clay soils and flat lots in older neighborhoods, homes are at risk of water intrusion, foundation cracks, and structural shifting.
Older homes near Albion, Athenia, and Allwood often feature stone or block foundations with minimal drainage, while newer developments in Richfield or Garden State Parkway-adjacent areas can still experience flooding from nor’easters, spring runoff, or clogged storm drains.
That’s why United Waterproofing installs a proactive waterproofing and foundation repair system designed to protect Clifton homes from water and structural damage.
Many Clifton homes experience issues from flooding and water seeping through foundation cracks over time.
If left unchecked, small leaks can lead to:
Ignoring minor seepage can escalate into expensive repairs, totaling thousands of dollars in damages.
A proactive waterproofing and foundation reinforcement system is far more effective than patchwork fixes or relying solely on a sump pump.
