Passaic is a historic industrial city in Passaic County, founded along the Passaic River.
The city grew rapidly in the 19th century as a center for mills, factories, and manufacturing.
Its urban neighborhoods, historic row homes, and modern apartment complexes coexist with parks such as Saddle River County Park and riverfront areas along the Passaic, making it a diverse and exciting place to live.
Passaic’s dense urban environment presents unique basement and foundation challenges.
Heavy annual precipitation of 49 inches of rain and 65 inches of snow—above the national average–combined with flat lots, poorly draining soil, and aging infrastructure, puts homes at high risk for flooding, seepage, and foundation stress.
Multi-family homes and attached row houses near the river or older downtown districts are particularly vulnerable to water intrusion during storms or from overwhelmed city drains.
United Waterproofing installs a patent-pending waterproofing and foundation repair system designed for Passaic’s urban conditions, protecting basements and foundations from both water damage and structural compromise.
Many Passaic homes face not just rainwater, but stormwater runoff from streets, alleys, and neighboring properties.
In older urban areas, city drains are often undersized or clogged, causing water to pool against basement walls.
Over time, this combination of groundwater pressure and surface runoff can result in:
Even minor water intrusion can escalate quickly without professional waterproofing and foundation reinforcement, making a comprehensive system essential.
