Emerson, NJ’s Favorite Basement Waterproofing Contractor
Whether there is a small puddle along your basement cove or a flooded basement, Emerson’s favorite basement waterproofing contractor has a comprehensive solution to keep your basement dry, healthy, and safe from future water intrusion. It’s crucial to have the measures in place to prevent invasive water from getting in because even a small puddle can cause problems.
- Mold growth
- Wood rot
- Rust in your HVAC
- Termites
- Ants
- Dust Mites
- Efflorescence
- Damage to stored belongings
Each of these problems can lead to more significant repair costs. Termites and wood rot can cause damage to your floor joists and support beams. Mold spores and dust mites are notorious allergens, but some molds are toxic or can cause an infection.
Along with drainage channels, vapor barriers, and sump pumps, Blue Umbrella Waterproofing also offers a ShipShape sump pump monitoring system for Emerson homeowners and an AprilAire Whole-House Dehumidifier, to doubly ensure that your basement remains protected year after year.
How Do Dust Mites Thrive in Basements?
Dust mites require a certain humidity level to survive because they do not drink water–they absorb moisture in the air around them. But when there’s enough moisture present, they will begin roaming, eating dead skin flakes, and reproducing.
What makes dust mites a problem is that they are an infamous source of allergies, worsening allergic reactions and triggering asthma attacks in those sensitive enough.
When your Emerson basement is waterproofed and further protected with a dehumidifier, the climate in your basement can be kept under control and made inhospitable to dust mites. Ultimately, dust mites won’t be able to flourish, and you can breathe easier knowing that you won’t have allergic reactions to dust mite particles.
The Most Trusted Company in Emerson, NJ, for Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl spaces have always been a handy way to access your home’s utilities. However, the other purpose of crawl spaces–protecting homes from soil moisture–hasn’t always panned out the way homeowners hope. Unfortunately, crawl spaces tend to become traps for moisture and stagnant water, which in turn leads to a host of other problems for your home.
- Pooling water in the crawl space
- Wood rot in floor joists and wooden support beams
- Mold growth
- Termites
- Ants
- Dust Mites
- Rodent pests
Due to what’s known as the Stack Effect, problems in your crawl space, such as mold spores, excess humidity, and dust mite particles, will get sucked up from your crawl space and into your living space. This can lead to worsening of allergies, higher occurrences of asthma attacks, and an uncomfortable climate within your whole house.
How Does My Crawl Space Impact the Energy Efficiency of My Home?
Without proper encapsulation, an unprotected Emerson crawl space is like rolling out a welcome mat for outside humidity and anything else in the outside air as it invades your home. This same outside air can also cause your home heating and cooling to work overtime to maintain your preferred indoor temperatures.
Crawl space encapsulation does more than keep outside moisture, bugs, and rodents out of your crawl space. It helps maintain a stable climate without your home. This means less work for your HVAC system and even up to 15% savings on your energy bills.

The Best Foundation Repair Company in Emerson, NJ
Your home’s foundation is responsible for providing stability and support to your house, protecting it from changes in the soil. That’s why protecting your foundation and ensuring it remains strong is crucial.
When outside water presses against your foundation, it can slowly weaken your foundation walls and create cracks. As time passes, those foundation walls may begin to bow, tilt, or shear as outside water pushes against them. If still ignored, those walls could eventually collapse, making the entire home structurally compromised and unsafe.
Fortunately, Blue Umbrella Waterproofing has two proven solutions to reinforce your foundation walls and put a stop to any further movement.
- Fortress Stabilization Systems’ InvisiBeam: Perfect for foundation walls with less than 2 inches of deflection. Combining unidirectional carbon fiber and Kevlar, the InvisiBeam offers a strength that can’t be matched by any regular carbon fiber strap. The InvisiBeam has even been used for larger projects, including hotels, parking garages, and seawalls. Now, the foundation in your Emerson can enjoy that same incredible support!
- Steel I-Beams: Steel I-beams are perfect for foundation walls with a deflection of greater than 2 inches but less than 3 inches. They offer incredible strength that lasts for years and prevents your foundation walls from moving further.
Can a Foundation Wall Be Unfixable?
Should a foundation wall experience a deflection of more than 3 inches, the wall may have to be replaced. Some contractors may suggest bringing the foundation wall to plumb before reinforcing it, but that’s not always guaranteed to work.
Should your foundation wall have a deflection of more than 3 inches, Blue Umbrella may recommend having it replaced. Your home’s well-being and safety are our top priority, and it is always Blue Umbrella’s goal to recommend a solution that will 100% work for the good of your foundation and home.
