Use Cases in River Vale, NJ
Projects we completed in your area
Pascack Brook Overflow Basement Intrusion
River Vale, NJ • Completed April 2024
After sustained rain swelled the nearby Pascack Brook, a River Vale homeowner found groundwater pushing through hairline foundation cracks into their finished basement. Water was migrating under the vinyl plank flooring and wicking into lower drywall. We arrived within 45 minutes, removed baseboards and lower drywall to stop capillary spread, extracted under-floor water, and set up negative-pressure drying. We also injected drying air beneath the flooring to save most of it and coordinated exterior grading and crack injection to reduce future brook-driven seepage.
- Rapid response to brook-driven hydrostatic intrusion
- Targeted removal of lower drywall and baseboards
- Under-floor extraction and negative-pressure drying
- Crack injection and grading recommendations for prevention
- Saved majority of finished flooring and trim
Country Club Pro Shop Sprinkler Discharge
River Vale, NJ • Completed July 2024
A golf course pro shop in River Vale suffered a sprinkler head discharge after accidental impact during fixture moving. Pressurized water soaked merchandise displays, golf apparel, and the point-of-sale counter. We responded the same morning, triaged wet inventory, set up dense drying in the retail area, and coordinated with the sprinkler vendor. By drying overnight with desiccant support, the shop reopened the next afternoon with minimal merchandise loss and no disruption to weekend tee times.

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 River Vale residents
Do reservoirs nearby increase humidity in River Vale basements?
Yes—ambient moisture elevates RH. Sealed dehumidifiers and vapor barriers prevent odors.

Often—with early action and cavity drying behind trims.
Can hardwood be saved?
Panel drying and monitoring reduce cupping.
Do you document for insurance?
Yes—complete logs and photos.
