Basement Moisture Migration from Neighbor's Yard
Paramus, NJ • Completed June 2024
A Paramus homeowner experienced chronic moisture in their basement even though water wasn't actively pooling. Investigation revealed that their neighbor's grading directed water toward the shared property line, and moisture was migrating through the soil toward the foundation. The situation was delicate because it involved the neighbor's property and required diplomatic communication. We installed an interior drainage system on our client's side of the foundation and worked with the homeowner to communicate with the neighbor about potential grading improvements. The solution protected our client's property while being respectful of the neighbor relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Paramus residents
My street floods from mall runoff—how do I keep the basement dry in Paramus?
In Paramus, significant runoff from large commercial properties and shopping malls can easily overwhelm local storm drains, leading to street flooding and basement water intrusion. To protect your Paramus home, we recommend a robust system including interior drain channels to manage water that seeps in, a properly sized sump pump with a battery backup for uninterrupted operation, and extending your downspouts at least six feet away from the foundation. These steps are crucial for safeguarding finished basements in Paramus from costly water damage.
Water got under my luxury vinyl plank—can it be saved?
Yes, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring in a Paramus home can often be saved after a water leak if addressed quickly. Our team will carefully lift the affected sections of the flooring to allow for complete drying of the subfloor using targeted airflow and specialized equipment. We then reinstall the planks over a new moisture barrier. Prompt action is key in Paramus to prevent the vinyl from curling at the edges and to stop microbial growth from developing underneath the flooring, which is a common concern in finished basements.
My ceiling stained under the AC—do condensate lines cause leaks here?
Yes, AC condensate line failures are a frequent cause of ceiling leaks in Paramus homes, especially during the humid summer months when systems run constantly. Our technicians use thermal imaging cameras to precisely locate the source of the leak without unnecessary demolition. We then dry the affected ceiling and wall cavities thoroughly, run HEPA air filtration to ensure air quality, and treat the area to prevent mold growth. This is a common issue we resolve in many Paramus ranches and colonials.
I’m in a townhouse HOA in Paramus—can you coordinate with the board?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with townhouse homeowners associations (HOAs) throughout Paramus. Our process includes coordinating access for our crews, providing all necessary insurance documentation and work schedules, and ensuring our restoration methods comply with the specific requirements of your Paramus HOA. We handle the communication so you can focus on getting your home back to normal.
