Blue Umbrella Means Five-Star Results
At Blue Umbrella, we believe in five-star results for all our customers. For many contractors, it’s easy to choose cheaper materials and products to improve their profits. But that practice doesn’t meet the best interests of homeowners like you. It also means lower-quality protection for your home that doesn’t last as long. Fortunately, at Blue Umbrella Waterproofing, we don’t believe in cutting corners.
Blue Umbrella goes above and beyond for you by handpicking the industry’s best products for our comprehensive solutions. Whether it’s offering an AprilAire whole-house dehumidifier to go along with your basement waterproofing or reinforcing a foundation wall with a product that combines both carbon fiber AND Kevlar, you can rest easy knowing that a Blue Umbrella solution will have your home protected far longer than the other companies can do.
For greater peace of mind, Blue Umbrella also offers a transferable lifetime warranty to back our solutions!
Bogota, NJ’s #1 Basement Waterproofing Company
Even if your basement has no obvious cracks for water to leak through, outside water can still seep through your basement cove and invade your home. Basement leaks occur when there’s enough hydrostatic pressure against your foundation to push that water through. If unaddressed, that water can lead to problems such as:
- Mold growth
- Wood rot
- Damage to stored personal belongings
- Rust in your HVAC
- Dust mites
- Termites
- Ants
- Efflorescence on concrete
But Blue Umbrella’s basement waterproofing solutions will capture and divert any incoming water before it can cause trouble in your Bogota, NJ, home. Blue Umbrella’s basement waterproofing system goes beyond what is usually offered by competitors.
Along with drainage channels, vapor barriers, and sump pumps, Blue Umbrella proudly offers a ShipShape sump pump monitoring system and an AprilAire whole-house dehumidifier to doubly ensure that your home remains safe, dry, and healthy!
How Do Dust Mites Live in a Basement?
Dust mites are microscopic pests that live off dead skin cells you shed around your home. While it might sound harmless, dust mites are a notorious source of allergens. Their particles can trigger more than just allergy symptoms; they can also cause asthma attacks.
Dust mites can thrive in basements when there are moisture problems because they require a certain level of moisture to survive. Unlike we do, dust mites don’t drink water but absorb it from the air. The dust mites cannot thrive in your basement if the air is too dry.
Along with basement waterproofing, it is recommended that you have a basement dehumidifier in place to keep your basement’s humidity and dust mites in check.
The Most Trusted Crawl Space Encapsulation Contractor in Bogota, NJ
It may seem easy to overlook a bit of humidity in your crawl space. But did you know that anything in your crawl space’s air gets sucked up into the rest of your living space? When your Bogota, NJ crawl space is having moisture problems, it can soon be dealing with other issues, such as:
- Mold growth
- Wood rot in your floor joists and wooden support beams
- Stagnant pools of water
- Excessive humidity
- Termites
- Ants
- Dust Mites
- Rodent pests
From muggy humidity and mold spores to dust mite particles, a wet crawl space quickly becomes a hotbed for problems that can spread throughout your home.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing offers both crawl space encapsulation and crawl space waterproofing services for the people of Bogota, NJ. With Blue Umbrella, you’ll have your crawl space encapsulated with tough and long-lasting 14-mil thick vapor barriers and back it up with a crawl space dehumidifier. When Blue Umbrella Waterproofing is done, you can breathe easily, knowing that outside moisture won’t sneak in through your crawl space!
Is It Common to Have Rats in a Crawl Space?
Rats and other rodent pests may be drawn to a crawl space because it is generally damp and dark, offers shelter, and may even contain food sources (like insects). Once settled in, it becomes only a matter of time before those same rodents begin foraging into your living space.
Crawl space encapsulation can keep rodents and other pests out of your crawl space. Not only does keeping your crawl space dry make it less comfortable for rodents and other pests to live in, but having a thick vapor barrier like the one Blue Umbrella offers can also keep those pests from entering.

Bogota, NJ’s Favorite Foundation Repair Company
Think of your house like a table, with the foundation as the table legs holding it up. When something happens to those table legs, the table becomes unsteady or even tip over. That’s how important your Bogota home’s foundation is.
If you ever notice cracks growing along your foundation wall, there’s a good chance that it’s because of hydrostatic pressure causing your foundation walls to weaken and move. Each time it rains, that water pressure will return and push against the wall again. Over time, this can cause your foundation wall to bulge, tilt, or shear, leading to further foundation damage and possibly structural damage to your home above.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing has two industry-leading solutions to put a stop to foundation wall movement:
- Fortress Stabilization Systems’ InvisiBeam: Combining the strength of unidirectional carbon fiber and Kevlar, the InvisiBeam offers a level of support that ordinary carbon fiber straps can’t match. It has even been used for larger projects, including hotels, bridges, and seawalls! These are perfect for foundation walls with less than 2 inches of deflection.
- Steel I-Beams: These I-beams stabilize your foundation wall with the strength and durability of steel, putting a stop to further bowing, tilting, or shearing. These are ideal for foundation walls with a deflection greater than 2 inches or less than 3 inches.
What Are The Risks and Limitations of DIY Foundation Repair?
While it may be tempting to repair your foundation by yourself, there are significant risks and limitations in attempting DIY foundation repair.
- Without a professional assessment, there is a high chance of misdiagnosis and failure to repair your foundation. In the worst-case scenario, a misdiagnosis may worsen the problem.
- Foundation repair requires specialized tools and knowledge to achieve the best results; most homeowners will not have these.
- Without proper training and knowledge, foundation repair can be very dangerous and have a high risk of injury.
These are just some of the risks and limitations a DIY enthusiast may face. Don’t risk your safety, your money, and your home. When foundation problems come knocking, call on the foundation repair experts at Blue Umbrella Waterproofing!
Our Completed Jobs in Bogota
We have served residents of New Jersey, including Bogota, for years. Here are some recent projects we completed for your neighbors in Bogota.
Joseph, Bogota, NJ 07603
Basement Waterproofing
Joseph was dealing with water in his basement, so he called Bogota's waterproofing experts - Blue Umbrella.
We created a customized basement waterproofing solution. First, we removed the bottom two feet of drywall along the basement walls to prepare for installation. We then added 120' of interior french drain along the basement perimeter just below the floor. The french drain collected any entering water and channeled it to a sump basin with a combo sump pump and battery backup.
Last, we installed an AprileAire basement dehumidifier to control the moisture levels in the space, preventing mold growth, discouraging insect intrusion, and cleaning the basement air.
