Most companies that come up for commercial waterproofing in New Jersey work below grade. Foundations, basements, footing drains. That is a different trade and we don’t do it.
We work on the part of the building you can see. Walls, sealant joints, parapets, terminations, and the seams between cladding materials. If your leak is in the basement, we’ll tell you on the first call instead of selling you the wrong scope. If it’s coming through the wall, that’s our work, and it sits inside our broader commercial exterior services.

A wall almost never leaks in the middle. It leaks where something interrupts it.
That last one causes more damage than owners expect. When water gets behind cladding and has no way out, it stays there. On EIFS buildings that shows up as rot in the sheathing long before it shows up on a tenant’s wall. That work is covered under EIFS remediation.
This is the expensive mistake. An owner hires a coating applicator, the building gets a fresh waterproof finish, and it leaks again the following spring.
The coating wasn’t the problem. The wall underneath it was. Cracks that were never routed and filled. A joint that was recaulked over old failed sealant. A flashing detail that was never corrected. A coating hides all three and fixes none of them.
We do the substrate repair and the coating with the same crew. There’s no handoff between two contractors and no argument about whose scope the crack belonged to. You can read more about the waterproofing systems we use on our main waterproofing page.
Property managers budget for roofs. They budget for HVAC. Very few budget for sealant, and sealant fails first.
Joints move every day as the building expands and contracts. In North Jersey they also freeze and thaw through the winter, which widens every gap water gets into. Eventually the sealant loses adhesion or hardens and cracks. From the ground it still looks fine.
We assess joint condition on site rather than quoting a blanket replacement interval, because a south-facing elevation ages faster than a shaded one. Joint work sits alongside our coatings, painting and caulking service.
We look at the building before we price the work. Where water is getting in, what condition the substrate is in, and whether the fix is a joint program, a coating, or a section of building restoration.
We work within about 25 to 50 miles of our Hackensack shop, covering Bergen, Essex, Passaic, Morris, Union, and Hudson counties, plus New York City, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, and Putnam. Site visits are free for property owners and commercial general contractors.

No. We work above grade on the building envelope: walls, joints, parapets, and cladding. Below-grade foundation and basement work is a different trade. If that is what you need, we will tell you on the first call rather than sell you the wrong scope.
We start at the openings and terminations, because that is where the water almost always gets in. Window and door perimeters, sealant joints, parapet caps, roof-to-wall junctions, and the seams between different cladding materials. We look at readings and conditions before we quote a fix.
Yes. We work within roughly 25 to 50 miles of our Hackensack shop, which covers Bergen, Essex, Passaic, Morris, Union, and Hudson counties, plus New York City, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, and Putnam.
One contractor. We repair the substrate, replace the failed sealant, and apply the coating with the same crew. That matters because a coating over a bad substrate fails, and split scopes are how that happens.
Sealant is a wear item, not a permanent detail. Most commercial buildings need joint replacement well before the cladding needs work. We assess joint condition on site rather than quoting a blanket interval.
Our Hackensack office is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. Call (201) 750-3590 to schedule an assessment. Our New Jersey HIC registration is 13VH11592500.
