Quality Comes First at Blue Umbrella!
There are a lot of contractors out there who advertise their services in basement waterproofing and foundation repair–unfortunately, not all of them have your interests at heart. Many opt to use cheaper materials and products in order to improve their bottom line, but that also means solutions that neither last as long nor protect your home as well.
At Blue Umbrella Waterproofing, things are different: Quality is our #1 policy! Whether it’s vapor barriers that offer over twice the recommended protection, or a carbon-Kelvar foundation repair solution that outclasses regular carbon fiber fabric, you’ll only find industry-leading solutions at Blue Umbrella.
What’s more, Blue Umbrella is proud to stand by its work with a transferable lifetime warranty.
The Most Trusted Contractor for Basement Waterproofing in Wanaque, NJ
Wet basements aren’t just inconvenient and messy–they become a hotbed for a variety of moisture-related problems that either become structurally destructive or even pose a health risk for you and your loved ones.
- Mold growth
- Wood rot
- Termites
- Dust mites
- Damage to stored personal belongings
- Rust in your HVAC and other equipment
- Efflorescence
The best way to prevent these hazardous or costly problems from arising in the first place is to ensure you have the means to keep outside water where it belongs: outside!
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing’s basement waterproofing services include tough drainage channels, 14-mil thick vapor barriers, powerful Blue Angel sump pumps, and even a sump pump monitoring system. For additional protection, Blue Umbrella also includes an AprilAire whole-house dehumidifier to keep your basement’s humidity down, so that issues like mold and dust mites have no chance of getting started.
Whenever you need a licensed waterproofing company that covers all the bases, there’s none better than Blue Umbrella Waterproofing!
What is Wood Rot?
Wood rot is the name for a fungus that breaks down dead wood matter. In nature, it plays a vital role as one of nature’s decomposers–but in a basement, it can be incredibly destructive and lead to expensive repairs if not addressed swiftly.
Before wood rot can grow, it requires food and moisture. The wood of the support structures in your basement is food enough–but when your basement starts to get wet or humidity consistently builds up, it can increase the wood moisture content of your support structures.
Dry rot requires above 30% wood moisture content. Wet rot requires above 50%. But whenever there’s enough moisture, their spores will activate and begin the process of colonization and spreading.
Wanaque, NJ’s Best Crawl Space Encapsulation Contractor
Crawl spaces play an important role in the air quality of your home, thanks to what’s known as the Stack Effect. What’s in your crawl space air is constantly being sucked up into the rest of your living space! But what if your crawl space is humid, riddled with mold, and crawling with dust mites and rats? That means all the bad stuff is going up into your living space as well.
Crawl space encapsulation does more than keep your crawl space dry; it keeps your home healthy. Blue Umbrella Waterproofing is a licensed crawl space encapsulation expert that offers 14-mil vapor barriers, crawl space dehumidifiers, and even crawl space waterproofing solutions.
With Blue Umbrella’s solutions, you won’t have to worry about any invasive moisture or creepy crawlies breaking into your crawl space!

Does It Matter What Vapor Barrier You Use in a Crawl Space?
Absolutely! In order to be used in a crawl space, vapor barriers are recommended to be at least 6-mil thick. But Blue Umbrella Waterproofing utilizes a 14-mil Flexi-Seal vapor barrier, making more than doubly sure that your crawl space remains protected for years and years.
What’s more, Blue Umbrella’s vapor barrier is designed to exceed ASTM E-1745 requirements, a standard specification that was set for vapor barriers to be used by builders and homeowners.
The #1 Foundation Repair Company of Wanaque, NJ
A crack in your foundation wall might seem okay to overlook. But if you notice cracks growing, widening, or the foundation wall even starting to bow or tilt, it will only keep worsening with time–and the repair costs will grow along with it.
Fortunately, there’s a way to put a stop to further foundation damage with Blue Umbrella Waterproofing. With our industry-leading foundation repair solutions, the Blue Umbrella team is the structural repair company your foundation needs.
- Fortress Stabilization Systems’ InvisiBeam: The InvisiBeam system consists of a top anchor, a bottom anchor, and a carbon-Kevlar strap that provides more support than your ordinary carbon fiber fabric. Perfect for deflections of less than 2 inches.
- Steel I-Beams: This classic solution uses steel I-beams along the affected foundation wall to stop further wall movement. Perfect for deflections greater than 2 inches but less than 3 inches.
The foundation repair consultants at Blue Umbrella will help you determine which of these solutions is best for your ailing foundation. You’ll also have peace of mind with our transferable lifetime warranty!
What Makes the InvisiBeam So Different?
