Historic Home Basement Water Intrusion
Allendale, NJ • Completed June 2024
An Allendale family living in a 1920s colonial discovered persistent dampness in their finished basement. What started as a musty smell evolved into visible moisture on the foundation walls. The 100-year-old stone foundation had developed several small cracks that were allowing groundwater seepage during heavy rain events. They were concerned about protecting their investment in this historic property while maintaining its character. Our team assessed the situation, understanding the delicate balance between modern waterproofing techniques and preserving the home's historic integrity. We implemented a solution that protected the structure without compromising its architectural significance.

- Applied specialized waterproofing compatible with century-old masonry

- Treated all organic materials with antimicrobial protection
- Educated owners on maintaining historic home drainage systems
