West Milford contains over 50 lakes and reservoirs, including Macopin Lake, Greenwood Lake, and Lower Long Pond. Settled in the early 18th century, West Milford was historically a farming and mining community, with iron forges and mills taking advantage of the area’s streams and waterways.
Today, it offers a mix of historic homes, lakefront properties, and modern suburban developments.
While the natural surroundings make West Milford a picturesque place to live, they also create unique challenges for basements and foundations. Heavy precipitation—averaging 44 inches of rain and 30 inches of snow annually—combined with hilly terrain, clay soils, and high groundwater, puts many homes at risk for water intrusion, flooding, and foundation shifting.
Older homes near Macopin Lake and Newfoundland often have stone or block foundations that predate modern drainage standards, while newer subdivisions on hillsides can experience water seepage from spring thaw, nor’easters, or saturated soil.
United Waterproofing provides a patent-pending waterproofing and foundation repair system specifically engineered to protect West Milford homes, keeping basements dry and foundations stable year-round.
Many West Milford homes are built on slopes or near lakes, where soil movement and drainage issues can cause long-term structural problems. Water and hydrostatic pressure can lead to:
Even minor water seepage can become a major problem if left unchecked. Proper waterproofing and foundation reinforcement are critical for hillside and lakefront properties in West Milford.
