The Quality You Deserve
There are many contractors offering basement waterproofing and foundation repair. But some contractors use cheaper materials and products to boost their bottom line, at the expense of your basement.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing is dedicated to getting the job done right, every time. That means offering you industry-leading solutions with products and materials that go above and beyond in taking care of your New Milford property.
One way that Blue Umbrella gets the job done right is with our foundation repair solutions. Using Fortress Stabilization Systems’ InvisiBeam system, your home’s foundation can be supported by the same product that’s used to reinforce bridges and seawalls!
New Milford, NJ’s Favorite Basement Waterproofing Company
It doesn’t take a flooded basement to cause wet basement problems. Did you know that all that mold needs to grow is a relative humidity of 55% or higher in your basement? But with the proper measures, you can prevent water seepage and humidity from messing up your basement.
It’s not just about keeping your basement dry; a wet basement also causes other problems, including…
- Mold
- Wood rot
- Dust mites
- Termites
- Rust in the HVAC system
That’s where Blue Umbrella Waterproofing comes in. Along with our durable drainage channels and Blue Angel sump pump, Blue Umbrella also offers 14-mil thick vapor barriers and a whole-house AprilAire dehumidifier.
With a Blue Umbrella basement waterproofing system in place, no water seepage or sneaky moisture will invade your basement.
Is Mold Dangerous to Have in Your Home?
Yes, mold is not healthy to have in your house. While mold spores can be found virtually everywhere around you, they usually don’t cause any problems unless they begin colonizing and producing higher concentrations of spores. That’s when allergic reactions and asthma attacks may occur, and some molds are known to cause infections.
The simple solution to preventing mold growth from becoming a problem is to ensure that your basement is kept dry.
The Leading Crawl Space Encapsulation Expert in New Milford, NJ
A dirt crawl space is like rolling the red carpet out for outside moisture, pollen, and even curious rodent pests.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing will protect your New Milford crawl space from all of these problems with thick 14-mil Flexi-Seal vapor barriers and even a crawl space dehumidifier. Our vapor barriers exceed ASTM E-1745 requirements and are more than twice as thick as the recommended 6-mil. Blue Umbrella also offers crawl space waterproofing.
Sealing your crawl space does more than just keep your crawl space dry–it improves the air in your crawl space and the rest of your home too! For crawl space encapsulation solutions that don’t cut corners, you can always count on Blue Umbrella Waterproofing in New Milford, NJ.
How Does a Crawl Space Affect Your Living Space?
A crawl space can affect your living space through the Stack Effect. Due to differences in air pressure and temperature, the air within your crawl space gets sucked up into the rest of your living space.
That means if you have wet crawl space problems, any excess humidity, mold spores, pollen, and dust mite particles in your crawl space will be spread throughout the rest of your home.
Not addressing this problem can lead to a greater occurrence of allergic reactions and even asthma attacks for those sensitive enough. It can also make the rest of your home more susceptible to mold growth and wood rot should those spores ever have prolonged exposure to sufficient moisture.

New Milford, NJ’s Most Dependable Foundation Repair Company
Without a strong and stable foundation, your New Milford home is at the mercy of the earth and the forces of nature. But even for a house with a foundation, should something happen to the foundation, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent structural damage from spreading to the house itself.
Blue Umbrella Waterproofing offers two industry-leading solutions in foundation repair…
- Fortress Stabilization Systems’ InvisiBeam System: Rather than opting for standard carbon fiber fabric to reinforce foundation walls, Blue Umbrella offers the InvisiBeam, which utilizes a carbon-Kevlar strap. The InvisiBeam offers so much strength that it has even been used for larger projects like hotels, parking garages, and bridges. It is perfect for deflections of less than 2 inches.
- Steel I-beams: For deflections of more than 2 inches but less than 3 inches, steel I-beams are a classic solution that will stop your foundation walls from moving.
Blue Umbrella offers effective and long-lasting foundation repair solutions for your New Milford property and equally long-lasting peace of mind with a transferable lifetime warranty!
What Causes Foundation Walls to Move?
When water builds up against the foundation, it creates hydrostatic pressure. Over time, and with enough repeated events, hydrostatic pressure can cause your foundation walls to move.
At first, you may only notice some thin cracks on your foundation wall, but don’t be fooled–those cracks are only going to grow wider until something is done about that outside water.
Even with a foundation repair solution in place, it is important to resolve the water problem that caused the foundation wall movement in the first place. With waterproofing in place, that water can be diverted away from your home to a safe distance away from your foundation.
