Shielding Caldwell, NJ Homes With Expert Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing

Blue Umbrella Never Cuts Corners

At Blue Umbrella Waterproofing, we believe that quality should always be our #1 priority. Most Caldwell contractors out there tend to opt for cheaper materials and products in the name of helping their bottom line.

But Blue Umbrella knows that that doesn't do anything to help with your home and well-being. That's why you can always trust Blue Umbrella's solutions to use best-in-class products and materials–the job's not done unless it gets done right!

For example, rather than choosing to use traditional carbon fiber fabric for our carbon fiber straps, Blue Umbrella Waterproofing has sought out the expertise of Fortress Stabilization Systems so that your Caldwell foundation can be better reinforced and strengthened with the InvisiBeam.

The InvisiBeam is an industry-leading product that combines unidirectional carbon fiber with Kevlar, leading to its use in reinforcing even larger projects such as hotels, bridges, and even sea walls. Now, Blue Umbrella can bring that incredible strength to your home!

Caldwell, NJ’s #1 Basement Waterproofing Company

Waterproofing your basement isn't just about keeping your basement dry–it's about protecting the rest of your home. Given enough time, wet basement problems will begin to work their way up to your living space, creating health risks and causing structural damage.

Here are some of the most common problems with wet basements…

• Mold growth
• Wood rot
• Termites
• Dust mites
• Rust in your HVAC
• Efflorescence on your foundation floor and walls

A home's ventilation system can transport mold spores and dust mite particles, causing allergic reactions and even triggering asthma attacks. Some species of mold are even toxic or can cause infections. Wood rot can weaken your floor joists, leading to sagging floors and other structural damage. Meanwhile, termites won't stop at just your basement's wooden supports–given the chance, they can spread to other parts of your Caldwell home.

With the protection of basement waterproofing, you're not just guarding your basement against water-related problems; you're keeping your whole home and your loved ones safe.

Is Mold A Serious Basement Problem?

As nature's decomposers, mold spores are everywhere around us. But that doesn't mean we can ignore mold growth. If your basement has enough moisture to trigger mold growth, you can count on those spores to activate and begin colonizing.

Mold naturally works in nature: when a mold spore is on a food source and has enough moisture to survive, it activates and begins growing to eventually reproduce and spread.
But mold doesn't know the difference between a dead log and the wooden supports of your Caldwell basement.

Mold spores also bring additional danger when they travel through the air and are inhaled. Mold allergies are common, but for those sensitive enough, they can even trigger asthma attacks. Some molds are even capable of causing infections in those with weakened immune systems.
