Tenafly, NJ's Most Reliable Basement Waterproofing Company

Basement waterproofing is like an art. While it's not like painting the Sistine Chapel, it does take years of experience, scientific knowledge, and genuine care for the home being worked on. Blue Umbrella Waterproofing has got all of these. It's how we know what products and methods offer the best for your home! 

Along with drainage channels, Blue Angel sump pumps, and tough Flexi-Seal vapor barriers, we also offer whole-house dehumidifiers and sump pump monitoring systems to give you that extra line of defense against water intrusion.

We provide both exterior and interior basement waterproofing in Tenafly, NJ. However, we recommend exterior waterproofing only for new construction due to the invasive nature of installing exterior waterproofing on existing homes (the soil, driveway, and sidewalk must often be excavated). 

Interior basement waterproofing is not only better for existing homes, but it is less disruptive and can be more affordable.

Whatever your Tenafly home's unique needs, you can always trust Blue Umbrella Waterproofing to offer what's best for you!

How Does a Wet Basement Harm You?

A dry basement can be a convenient storage space or even an additional finished room. But if there is water seeping into your basement; instead of a dry, safe space, your basement is plagued with issues.

• Mold growth
• Wood rot
• Rust in metal equipment like HVAC systems
• Damage to the basement carpet
• Damage to stored belongings
• Attracting pests, including termites, ants, and dust mites

Mold and dust mites are notorious for triggering allergic reactions and even asthma attacks. Even more seriously, some species of common house molds are toxic, like black mold; also known as Stachybotrys chartarum.

Along with unwanted toxins, structural damage to supports like floor joists caused by termites and wood rot can be costly to repair and make your Tenafly home unsafe. 

Whether you want to use your basement as just a storage space or aspire to have a home movie theater, you need to protect your basement from invading water. The best way to do that is with Blue Umbrella Waterproofing!
