Projects we completed in your area
Window Well Water Entry and Basement Flooding
Hillsdale, NJ • Completed June 2024
A Hillsdale homeowner discovered that their basement window well had become clogged with debris and was collecting water during rain events. Water was seeping around the window frame seal, entering the basement in concentrated quantities. The window frame itself was aged and showed significant seal degradation. This situation is surprisingly common—homeowners often overlook window wells as potential water entry points. Our solution included cleaning the window well, repairing the frame seals, and installing a window well cover to prevent debris accumulation. We also improved the drainage from the well area to direct water away from the foundation.
- Cleaned and restored proper window well drainage
- Replaced aged window frame seals with new weatherstripping
- Installed window well cover to prevent debris accumulation
- Applied professional caulking around entire window frame perimeter
- Established maintenance schedule for quarterly well inspection
Warehouse Roof Leak from HVAC Unit Penetration
Hillsdale, NJ • Completed August 2025
A warehouse facility in Hillsdale experienced water leakage from the rooftop HVAC unit area during rain events. Water was entering through the roof penetration point where the HVAC system connects to the structural roof. The warehouse stored inventory that was sensitive to moisture, creating significant loss risk. The HVAC contractor had installed the unit years ago without proper waterproofing around the penetration. Our solution involved professional waterproofing around the HVAC unit, installation of a secondary drain system, and regular monitoring. We worked with the facility manager to minimize disruption to warehouse operations.
- Professionally waterproofed HVAC unit roof penetration
- Installed secondary drain system for enhanced protection
- Applied flexible sealant materials that accommodate HVAC equipment movement
- Established inspection schedule for ongoing penetration monitoring
- Protected temperature-sensitive inventory from moisture intrusion
Basement Sump Pump Backup System Failure
Hillsdale, NJ • Completed June 2025
During an intense storm, a Hillsdale homeowner's primary sump pump failed, and the backup system—which they'd invested in as insurance—also failed to activate. They discovered this when water was backing up into their finished basement. The backup system's battery had never been tested and had lost its charge over months of inactivity. This emergency illustrated why backup systems require regular maintenance testing. We extracted the water, repaired the backup system, and installed an automatic testing protocol that verifies backup readiness monthly. The homeowner now understands that backup systems require ongoing care.
- Emergency water extraction during active storm conditions
- Diagnosed backup system failure as dead battery and sensor issues
- Installed automatic monthly backup system testing protocol
- Upgraded to battery backup system with smartphone alerts
- Educated homeowner on critical maintenance for backup equipment

During heavy rain, groundwater rises. We install interior drains, upgrade sump discharge, and protect finished rec rooms popular in Hillsdale.
How do you prevent mold in summer?
Keep RH under 50%. We run dehumidifiers with ducting, scrub air with HEPA units, and treat surfaces to stop micro growth.
