Basement Waterproofing Expert for Your Hasbrouck Heights, NJ Home

When it comes to your basement walls, a crack is not just a crack. A crack may seem like no big deal when it only lets in a few trickles of water, but it becomes a big problem when that crack grows over time. 

If left unsealed, a tiny crack can continue to separate your foundation and become an open door for water to enter freely. Cracks in your walls and water seepage are not the only things to be concerned about. 

Where unwanted water is concerned, not only is your foundation at risk, but also your health. A wet basement is also an invitation for mold growth that can spread and trigger allergens and illness throughout your home.

Blue Umbrella understands all this and has decades of experience in interior and exterior basement waterproofing in Hasbrouck Heights homes to help secure your home too. 

By securing your basement from unwanted water, you preserve your house's structure, value, and your family's health. Call Blue Umbrella today to invest in your health, and home's future.

How to Identify Mold Growth in Your Home

Mold is an unwanted invader in your home that thrives in damp and decomposing areas, like your basement or crawl space. Mold comes in a variety of sizes and colors. The most common molds are black, white, and green, which can have a dusty or fuzzy texture. 

Are you worried you have mold in your basement? If you are wondering about mold in your home, avoid touching anything- instead, use your other senses. Visually identify any discoloration on your walls or floors and check whether the space smells musty or stale. These are two sure signs of mold growth. 

Mold can also impact the health of those in your home, especially if they are high-risk. Mold grows and then releases spores into the air that can trigger allergies, asthma, and respiratory infections- some even toxic to humans. But basement waterproofing or crawl space encapsulation can keep mold out!

Don't risk your family's and home's safety- instead, give Blue Umbrella a call for professional help in Hasbrouck Heights.

What is the Difference Between Interior and Exterior Basement Waterproofing?

Interior Basement Waterproofing: This option is best for existing homes, as it doesn't require excavation of the grounds around your basement. A sump pump is installed in your basement to remove excess water through a trench dug along the foundation footing to release the water a safe distance from your foundation. This option is recommended for existing homes in Hasbrouck Heights as it is less invasive and less expensive. 

Exterior Basement Waterproofing: Exterior waterproofing is recommended for new construction, and is best done while the foundation is still exposed- before gardens, decks, and sidewalks are added. We install an impermeable barrier over the entire exterior of your basement walls to prevent any invasive water, mold, rot, or structural damage. 

When it comes to unwanted water intrusion, we want to ensure your home is safe for you and your family. Call us today with any questions, and we will walk you through each step to find the best option for your Hasbrouck Heights home.
