Window Well Flooding Into Basement Bedroom
Oradell, NJ • Completed October 2024
An Oradell home with a basement bedroom experienced flooding through the window well during heavy rain. The window well drain had become clogged with leaves and debris over years of neglect. Water filled the well and pressure forced it through the window seal into the bedroom. The finished space had carpeting and drywall that absorbed water quickly. We extracted water, removed damaged materials, and completely rebuilt the window well system with proper drainage and covers to prevent future issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Oradell residents
Does the Oradell Reservoir area affect humidity in local basements?
Yes, proximity to the Oradell Reservoir can contribute to higher ambient moisture, which elevates the relative humidity (RH) in basements throughout Oradell. To combat this, we recommend installing a sealed, commercial-grade dehumidifier and applying vapor barriers in storage areas. This proactive approach is the most effective way to prevent the musty odors and potential mold growth common in Oradell basements.
Do the older foundations in Oradell tend to wick moisture from the ground?
Yes, capillary action, or wicking, is a common issue in the older foundations found in many Oradell homes. To address this, we use specialized breathable sealers that block liquid water while allowing water vapor to escape, preventing moisture from becoming trapped. We often pair this with interior drain channels to create a comprehensive system that effectively controls moisture in your Oradell home's foundation.
What type of flooring holds up best against water damage in an Oradell basement?
For finished basements in Oradell, luxury vinyl tile or plank (LVT/LVP) installed over a proper moisture barrier tends to perform the best after a water event. Unlike laminate flooring, which often swells and delaminates, LVT can frequently be salvaged if it is dried quickly. Regardless of the flooring, the key is always to ensure the subfloor is completely dry before any reinstallation to prevent future problems in your Oradell home.
Do you provide moisture logs for insurance and renovation planning in Oradell?
Absolutely. We provide detailed moisture logs as a standard part of our service in Oradell. These logs, which document daily readings from our professional moisture meters, are critical for your insurance claim. They provide the scientific proof that your property has been dried to the industry standard, which is also essential information for your contractors before they begin any renovation work in your Oradell home.
