Hillside Property Foundation Leak
Alpine, NJ • Completed April 2025
A family in Alpine discovered water seeping into their basement after heavy spring rain. Their hillside property, perched on elevated terrain, had never shown water issues before. The problem started as dark stains on the foundation wall, and within hours, water began pooling in the lowest corner. They called immediately when they realized their finished basement—used as a game room and office—was at risk. The underlying issue was a failed drainage system on the upslope side of their home. Our team arrived, assessed the water intrusion path, and implemented a comprehensive solution that included exterior slope work and interior waterproofing.
- Diagnosed failed exterior drainage system on upslope foundation
- Installed interior perimeter drainage channel with sump connection
- Applied exterior waterproof membrane to foundation wall
- Graded slope away from home to redirect surface water
- Installed monitoring system to track groundwater levels seasonally
Retail Store Basement Flooding
Alpine, NJ • Completed September 2024
A retail establishment in Alpine discovered their basement stockroom flooding from a municipal water main failure during street maintenance. The basement contained $75,000 worth of seasonal inventory that was at risk. Water appeared from floor drains and backed up through outlets, gradually filling the space. The store manager needed the stockroom operational quickly to maintain sales operations. Our commercial restoration team assessed the damage, coordinated with the water authority to prevent further intrusion, and implemented a systematic drying process. We documented everything for insurance and worked around business hours to minimize disruption to retail operations.
- Water extraction from basement stockroom (12,000 gallons)

3 AM Pipe Burst During Freeze
Alpine, NJ • Completed January 2025
At 3 AM on the coldest night of the year, a family in Alpine woke to water dripping from their ceiling. An uninsulated supply line in the attic had frozen and burst, sending approximately 200 gallons per hour cascading down through two floors. By the time they discovered it, water had soaked the second-floor master bedroom, hallway, and was pooling in the first-floor living room. They called our 24/7 emergency line panicked. Our team arrived in 28 minutes despite the brutal conditions and weather-related road hazards. We immediately shut off the water, extracted the standing water, and set up industrial drying equipment. The homeowner learned a critical lesson about protecting pipes in unconditioned spaces.

Restore, Protect and Beyond Repair
Our Team
We Know Jersey Weather
Nor'easters, flash floods from summer storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack foundations— we've seen what North Jersey weather throws at homes. Your basement flooded when that storm drain backed up? We've been there. We know the drill.
Local Construction Styles
Split-levels from the '60s, century-old Victorians, garden apartments, and newer townhomes— Bergen County has them all. We know which basements leak, which crawl spaces need work, and how to navigate tight Jersey properties where the trucks barely fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Alpine residents
Do hillside properties in Alpine see basement seepage after storms?
Yes. Alpine’s steep lots and rocky soils can push runoff toward foundation walls during heavy rain. We install interior drainage channels, upgrade sump pits with battery backups, and seal micro-cracks to prevent hydrostatic pressure from forcing water inside finished basements.
What’s the best approach for luxury homes with radiant floors?
We map moisture with thermal cameras to avoid damaging radiant lines, lift and dry floor assemblies with negative-pressure mats, and coordinate specialty flooring vendors for restoration. Documentation supports high-value insurance claims common in Alpine estates.
Can stone foundations be fully dried without demolition?
Often yes. We use desiccant dehumidifiers and controlled airflow to drive moisture out of stone and mortar. Where wicking persists, we add capillary breaks and breathable sealers designed for historic materials, keeping Alpine homes structurally sound.
How fast do you respond to emergency water calls in Alpine?
Our northern crews average 45–55 minutes. We stage equipment near Closter/Cresskill for faster access to Alpine’s hilltop neighborhoods, ensuring rapid extraction before mold risk rises in 24–48 hours.
