Keep Basements Dry and Safe with Our Waterproofing Solutions in NJ
Weather conditions, poor foundation building materials, hydrostatic pressure, and other outside factors can cause severe water damage in the lower levels of homes including the basement. Over time, water issues can escalate and make your home unlivable. Such issues can even cause structural damage, like bowing and cracking walls and mold growth. Therefore, homeowners should invest in a basement waterproofing system before the damage becomes too costly and extensive.
The installation of a basement waterproofing system prevents water damage from ruining your home and personal items, eliminating the chances of structural damage.
The first sign of water issues in the basement is seepage—a slow and steady leak—in the basement. Homeowners will notice water running down the walls, moisture spots, water on the floor, and possibly seepage at the cove joint where the wall meets the floor. We recommend calling a professional waterproofing company, like First Choice Waterproofing, immediately after noticing seepage. Our team will promptly and effectively evaluate the situation and determine the best plan of action for your waterproofing needs.

Signs Your Home Needs Basement Waterproofing
To stay on top of water issues in your basement, it’s important to take effective measures as soon as you notice the problem. Here are a few signs to look out for:
Damp, Musty Odor
A basement with water issues is more prone to mold and mildew growth. This can cause a musty smell, compromising indoor air quality.
Mold/Mildew
The most common causes of mold growth on walls are high humidity, condensation, and hidden water leaks. If you notice mold spots in your basement, it’s time to get professional help.
Cracks on Walls/Floors
The majority of cracks in walls and floors occur slowly, so homeowners may not notice them for a long time until they notice a leak. The primary cause of water in your basement is from leaking wall cracks. Therefore, cracks, no matter how small, should never be taken lightly.
Efflorescence
Efflorescence is a crystalline deposit of salts on concrete, brick, stucco, or natural stone surfaces. The salt deposits are left behind when water is present in or on the masonry surface. Efflorescence can cause basement and crawl space walls to flake and peel away. If not treated in time, efflorescence can become a cause of structural damage.
Bowed Walls
Excess moisture is the most common cause of bowed walls. Basements with bowed block walls may indicate a large separation between two layers of the blocks where the bowing occurs. Ultimately, bowing walls can weaken your basement’s structure and lead to structural collapse.
Visible Water Marks On Walls
Visible watermarks on the walls indicate wetness seeping through behind the wall. Exterior hydrostatic pressure can cause this seepage, which leads to mold growth in the basement.

Benefits of Basement Waterproofing in New Jersey
Waterproofing your basement is not a temporary solution. It’s an effective investment that will protect your basement in the long run and provide numerous benefits.
Space Expansion
A damp, leaky basement is useless. Waterproofing keeps the basement dry and safe so that you can use it for additional living or storage space. Say hello to your new office, gym, or rec room.
Prevention of Structural Damage
A moisture-filled basement may be an immediate inconvenience, but it might cause serious structural damage if you do not take action. If your basement is waterproofed, you will always have peace of mind about your basement’s structure.
Flood Prevention
Floods are among the most common natural disasters in New Jersey. However, they can also occur due to sewer backups or the seepage of groundwater through floor cracks. Therefore, basement waterproofing is critical for homeowners in New Jersey. When your basement is waterproofed with effective sump pumps and drainage systems, you can rest assured that everything stored in it will be safe from flooding.
Healthy Environment
Moisture in your basement makes it a breeding ground for mold. Mold spores can cause several infections, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, headaches, and more. This problem takes a real toll on people who already have respiratory allergies and asthma. Luckily, when your basement is waterproofed, you get a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.
