Historic Home Basement Window Well Failure
Leonia, NJ • Completed April 2024
A Leonia homeowner living in one of the borough's charming historic homes discovered water flowing into their basement through a window well during heavy rainfall. The window well's drainage system had become clogged over years of leaf and debris accumulation, allowing water to pond against the basement window until it breached the seal and entered the home. Water flooded across the basement floor, affecting stored family heirlooms, holiday decorations, and the home's mechanical systems. Our team responded quickly, understanding the sensitivity of working in a historic property. We extracted water, dried affected areas, and coordinated with a masonry contractor to properly restore and waterproof the window well system.

They called the listing real estate agent, who arrived to discover a catastrophic frozen pipe burst had flooded the entire first floor and was cascading into the basement.

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 Leonia residents
Older colonials—are stack leaks common in Leonia?
Yes. Aging risers between floors fail. We coordinate access with management and dry unit‑by‑unit to minimize disruption.
Can you save plaster walls after a ceiling leak?
Often—controlled, slow drying prevents cracking; we only remove where delamination occurs.
Basement odors—how do we prevent them?
Sealed dehumidifiers, drainage improvements, and antimicrobial treatment eliminate odors.
Insurance—do you provide documentation?
Yes—photos, moisture logs, and line‑item estimates for covered claims.
