South Plainfield's Top Company in Basement Waterproofing
Basements are just like any other part of your home. It should be dry, usable, and problem-free. But unlike the other parts of your home, your basement can be subjected to hydrostatic pressure. This pressure can push water into your home through the joints between the floor and wall of your basement and any cracks in your foundation wall or floor.
But whether it results in a wet basement or even a flooded one, that invasive water can lead to a whole host of problems, including:
- Wood rot
- Mold growth
- Rust on any metal equipment like your HVAC system
- Damage to stored personal belongings
- Increased humidity and reduced air quality for your basement and home
Keeping water out of your basement means protecting you and your loved ones and protecting your home from costly repairs.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing offers interior and exterior basement waterproofing services for the people of South Plainfield. From drainage channels and Blue Angel Sump Pumps to 14-mil thick vapor barriers and AprilAire whole-house dehumidifiers, there's no shield against water like a Blue Umbrella Waterproofing system!
Will a Dehumidifier Help With Mold?
Mold spores can be a bothersome allergen, but some mold is even toxic and dangerous. But would having a dehumidifier help in protecting against mold?
The short answer is yes; mold requires a minimum moisture level to survive and grow. So long as humidity levels are kept in check, you can ensure that your basement is kept safe from mold growth.
However, your dehumidifier should always be part of a complete basement waterproofing system. After all, a dehumidifier alone cannot prevent water from pooling along your basement cove or dry up a flooded basement.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing uses an AprilAire whole-house dehumidifier capable of removing up to 100 pints a day, far superior to off-the-shelf units you can buy at big box stores. Humidity won't have a chance to turn your basement muggy!
South Plainfield's Leader in Crawl Space Encapsulation and Waterproofing
Is there a musty smell wafting through your living space? Does it smell a bit like when you're walking through a forest after it rains? The scent of nature can be pleasant when you're on a hike, but you shouldn't be smelling it inside your home. Chances are your crawl space is having moisture problems!
Why Do Crawl Spaces Smell?
For many homeowners, dirt crawl spaces produce a very noticeable, earthy, and musty smell. When a crawl space gets saturated with humidity and/or standing water, several factors may contribute to that annoying odor:
- Mold spores. When mold starts growing in your damp crawl space, it will release spores as part of its growth cycle. As those spores saturate the air in your crawl space, all that gets sucked up into your living space thanks to the Stack Effect. Those spores can make the air smell musty.
- Wood rot. When your crawl space's wooden supports (like the floor joists) get damp, wood rot can begin to grow. Rotten wood also produces a musty smell.
- Standing water. Standing water itself won't make an earthy smell, but it can increase the humidity of the crawl space air. Combined with mold spores and other crawl space odors, this can make the air uncomfortable AND smelly!
Get Rid of Musty Smells and Moisture
When crawl spaces were initially designed, they were meant to protect your home from soil moisture. But time has proven that crawl spaces don't do a very good job at that.
Crawl spaces can become traps for moisture and pooling water. Surely, the people who invented crawl spaces weren't planning for you to have miniature swamps beneath your home?
But that's how it is unless you have a waterproofing and encapsulation system.
Get the right crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing for your home with the experts at Blue Umbrella Waterproofing! Our solutions are designed to be long-lasting and to keep moisture out of your crawl space. From 14-mil thick vapor barriers that exceed ASTM E-1745 requirements to AprilAire crawl space dehumidifiers, we'll have you breathing easy again!

The #1 Foundation Repair Company in South Plainfield, NJ
Concrete is designed to last for a long time. But given enough time and enough pressure, the forces of nature can still find a way to break it.
Foundation damage can manifest as a growing crack running along the mortar lines of your CMU block wall. But it can also be more drastic, such as a bowing, tilting, or shearing basement wall!
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing specializes in reinforcing basement walls! We utilize a carbon fiber strap solution that combines the strength of both Kevlar and carbon fiber, providing unbeatable support to your foundation.
What's more, you can also enjoy peace of mind with our transferable lifetime warranty!
What Makes Blue Umbrella's Carbon Fiber Straps So Special?
Not all carbon fiber straps are made equal. Many contractors use cheaply made carbon fiber straps to improve their bottom line. Blue Umbrella Waterproofing doesn't cut corners when it comes to foundation repair.
We go above and beyond with Fortress Stabilization Systems' InvisiBeam!
But what is the InvisiBeam? It's a carbon fiber strap that uses Fortress Stabilization Systems' patented ReGrid technology to create the strongest bond to the concrete foundation.
Combining unidirectional carbon fiber and Kevlar, the InvisiBeam is a product that's even been used for larger projects, including hotels, parking garages, and bridges. That's the massive strength you'll be protecting your foundation with!
