Making Butler, NJ Homes Safe and Dry with Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing

Quality is Our #1 Priority!

While many Butler contractors out there could help you with your basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and foundation repair needs, they don’t all offer the same quality of service.

Unfortunately, many will opt to use cheaper materials and products that may get the job done quickly, but the system won’t last nearly as long. That may help their bottom line, but certainly not you and your Butler home.

Blue Umbrella Waterproofing is committed to offering only the best-in-class when it comes to our products and materials.

For example, we get our Flexi-Seal vapor barriers from Richtech Industries, which are 14-mil thick (over twice the requirement of 6-mil for crawl space vapor barriers) and exceed ASTM E-1745 requirements.

Another fine example is our Butler foundation repair solution from Fortress Stabilization Systems. Instead of the regular carbon fiber straps that others may offer, Blue Umbrella uses the InvisiBeam, a carbon fiber strap that combines the amazing strength of carbon fiber and Kevlar. This product has even been used in large projects like bridges and parking garages! Now, Blue Umbrella will bring that same incredible support to your foundation!

The #1 Basement Waterproofing Contractor in Butler, NJ

Just as your roof keeps water from falling into your home, your foundation is responsible for keeping that water out when it soaks into the soil. But unlike your roof, the water in the soil can build up against your foundation and push against the concrete. This water pressure is called hydrostatic pressure–with enough of it, water can even start seeping through your basement cove and any existing cracks.

Blue Umbrella’s Butler basement waterproofing system is designed to capture that pesky water and redirect it from your home so that it doesn’t have the chance to cause harm to your foundation walls. From drainage channels and vapor barriers to our BlueAngel sump pumps, your basement will be well-protected against outside moisture.

But that’s not all–you’ll also have a ShipShape sump pump monitoring system and an AprilAire whole-house dehumidifier to doubly make sure that your basement stays protected, no matter how rainy or humid it gets out there!

What Common Problems Do Wet Basements Have?

Common problems that wet basements tend to have can range from moisture-loving growths and pests to structural issues. Here are some of the most common ones that Butler homeowners encounter:

• Mold growth
• Wood rot
• Dust mites
• Termites
• Rust in your HVAC
• Efflorescence
• Excess humidity
• Standing pools of water
• Musty odors

Dust mites, mold growth, and excess humidity can all lead to health risks. Meanwhile, wood rot will weaken your floor joists and other wooden supports, causing expensive structural damage when allowed to run rampant. Termites, too, can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage.
