Phillipsburg sits along the Delaware River in western Warren County and has a long industrial history tied to railroads, steelwork, and river transport.
The community grew thanks to its strategic cross-river cable ferry system to neighboring Easton, Pennsylvania, and by way of railroad.
Officially incorporated in 1861, Philipsburg consolidated parts of Lopatcong Township into what it is today.
With neighborhoods ranging from historic downtown homes to hillside developments overlooking the river, the town blends old architecture with modern amenities.
Phillipsburg’s riverside geography also creates high water exposure risk.
The town receives over 48 inches of rain and 27 inches of snow per year, and many homes sit in areas with elevated groundwater and seasonal flooding.
Historic homes near the riverfront, South Main Street, and older brick row houses often have masonry or stone foundations that lack modern drainage systems, making them vulnerable to seepage, humidity, and shifting walls.
United Waterproofing provides a patent-pending waterproofing and foundation reinforcement system engineered specifically for Phillipsburg’s river-adjacent environment and soil conditions.
Phillipsburg sits at a lower river elevation, which means basements can still suffer from water intrusion even when no visible flooding occurs. Groundwater naturally pushes moisture vapor through basement walls and floors, leading to a whole host of issues
Dehumidifiers alone can’t solve the source; the pressure comes from groundwater.
A true solution requires managing moisture below the slab and at the foundation wall before it enters your basement.
United Waterproofing designs systems that block intrusion and stabilize the foundation, keeping basements dry, clean, and healthy year-round.
