Your Home Deserves the Best!
Your home deserves the best! However, many contractors opt to use cheaper materials to boost their bottom line, which doesn't serve the best interests of you or your home.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing is committed to using only high-quality products and materials for our customers to ensure the best results. From 14-mil thick vapor barriers to carbon-Kevlar straps that have been used to reinforce even bridges and parking garages, you'll only get solutions from Blue Umbrella that go above and beyond for you and your home!
Carteret, NJ's Leading Contractor in Basement Waterproofing
It may feel like a small puddle in your basement isn't much to worry about, but even discovering water seeping through your basement cove should be cause for concern. It means that water outside your basement walls is building up enough to push through, which means your foundation is under a lot of stress, and outside moisture is invading your home.
When invasive moisture isn't addressed quickly enough, wet basement problems such as these may occur:
- Mold growth
- Wood rot
- Damage to stored belongings
- Rusting of the HVAC system
- Termites, ants, and other moisture-loving pests
- Dust mites
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing's solutions in basement waterproofing use the industry's best products and materials. From long-lasting drainage channels and Blue Angel sump pumps to 14-mil vapor barriers, you can rest assured that no outside moisture will invade your home after the job is done.
What's more, we even offer a ShipShape sump pump monitoring system and an AprilAire whole-house dehumidifier to further ensure your Carteret basement stays protected.
What is Better? Interior or Exterior Basement Waterproofing?
It depends on your situation. Exterior basement waterproofing is ideal for new construction homes because it can be installed before landscaping, porches, or decks. Interior basement waterproofing is ideal for existing homes because it is less intrusive, doesn't disrupt any existing landscaping or exterior structures around your home, and may be more affordable.
The Most Dependable Crawl Space Encapsulation Company in Carteret, NJ
Does your dirt crawl space get swamped with puddles whenever it rains, or do little critters make a home out of your crawl space like it's their own personal hotel? Neither of these things should be happening! Crawl space encapsulation provides a way to keep both invasive moisture and intrusive pests from easily getting into your crawl space.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing uses a tough 14-mil vapor barrier that exceeds ASTM E-1745 requirements and is more than twice as thick as the recommended toughness of 6-mil. Along with our durable vapor barrier, you'll also have the extra protection of an AprilAire dehumidifier.
What Can Pests in Your Crawl Space Do?
Common pests in your crawl space can range from ants, termites, and dust mites to rodent pests like rats and mice. This is because a dark and damp crawl space provides all the right living conditions for these creatures.
But these different pests won't be satisfied with just staying in the crawl space–eventually, they'll wander up into your living space as they forage for food or other places to live and breed.
Termites and ants are known for their ability to grow vast colonies and create tunnel networks in wooden structures. This tunneling can result in costly damage to your home's support structures.
Meanwhile, dust mite particles are a notorious allergen that can trigger allergic reactions and even asthma attacks in those sensitive enough.
Rodent pests like rats and mice don't just cause damage to your home as they gather material to build their nests, but they can also contaminate food and home surfaces with their urine and feces as they forage.
Let it Be a Precaution Not a Clean-Up!
Call us for a free inspection today and secure your space from pests and water damage!
Carteret, NJ's Best Foundation Repair Company
Your foundation has a big responsibility to keep your home stable and protect it from the effects of any movement in the soil. But not even your mighty foundation is invincible. Hydrostatic pressure can push on your foundation walls until cracks form, and eventually, the foundation walls begin to bow, tilt, or shear.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing offers two industry-leading foundation repair solutions in Carteret, NJ. These solutions prevent further movement of foundation walls and restore stability and strength to your foundation…
- Fortress Stabilization Systems' InvisiBeam: The InvisiBeam system utilizes carbon-Kevlar straps that offer greater strength than any ordinary carbon fiber straps can. The InvisiBeam's carbon-Kevlar straps have even been used for large projects such as hotels and parking garages, and now you can enjoy that same support. The InvisiBeam is ideal for foundation walls with a deflection of less than 2 inches.
- Steel I-Beams: Steel I-beams are a classic solution that utilizes the might of steel to prevent further foundation wall movement. Steel I-beams are ideal for foundation walls with a deflection of greater than 2 inches but less than 3 inches.
Why Does a Foundation Wall Bow?
As water in the soil builds up against your foundation wall, the resulting hydrostatic pressure pushes against your foundation wall, the concrete begins to weaken and give way.
The first sign of this kind of wall movement tends to be a horizontal crack that runs around the middle area of your wall, and it will grow wider as the wall continues to move and bow inward.
If not addressed and allowed to progress, your bowing foundation wall may eventually collapse, compromising your foundation's and your home's structural integrity.
If you notice your foundation wall starting to bow inward, contact Blue Umbrella Waterproofing as soon as possible to assess your foundation and devise a solution.
