Local conditions
Why Bergen County basements get wet
Bergen County is defined by its rivers. The Hackensack and Passaic River basins run right through the county, and the lowlands around Little Ferry, Lodi, Moonachie, and South Hackensack flood again and again — a chronic high-water-table problem that no amount of sealer paint will solve. When those rivers rise, groundwater rises with them, and hydrostatic pressure pushes water up through basement floors across a wide swath of the county. Basement waterproofing in Bergen County starts with understanding how close your home sits to that water table.
The county’s housing stock makes it worse. Teaneck, Hackensack, Bergenfield, Englewood, and Fort Lee are full of older homes with block and poured foundations that have had decades to crack, settle, and seep. Put it together and Bergen County basements take on water four main ways: hydrostatic pressure pushing groundwater up through the floor, foundation cracks in poured walls, seepage through porous block, and surface water from downspouts and grading that slope toward the house. The fix has to match the cause — which is exactly what RDC’s free inspection is for.
What we install
The right waterproofing system for your Bergen County home
One accountable local team, matched to your foundation and your water problem.
Interior French drains
Perimeter drainage under the slab that collects water and routes it to a sump — the reliable fix for the high-water-table homes common across Bergen County.
Sump pumps & battery backup
A dependable pump with a battery backup that keeps working through river-flooding events when the power goes out.
Foundation crack repair
Polyurethane and epoxy injection that seals leaking poured-concrete cracks permanently.
Exterior waterproofing
Excavation, membrane, and footing drains for failing walls or where water must be stopped outside.
Yard & exterior drainage
Grading, downspout extensions, and catch basins that move roof and surface water away from the foundation.

Dehumidification and vapor barriers to finish the job and keep Bergen County basement air healthy.

Bergen County waterproofing questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide free basement inspections in Bergen County?
Yes. RDC offers free, no-pressure inspections throughout Bergen County, 7 days a week. We inspect inside and out, diagnose where the water is coming from, and give you a written, fixed-price quote at no cost. Call (908) 569-1876.
How much does basement waterproofing cost in Bergen County?
It depends on the cause. A leaking crack sealed by injection is a few hundred dollars; a full interior French drain with a sump and battery backup for a typical Bergen County home runs several thousand. You get a fixed, itemized quote after the free inspection, and we recommend only what you need.
My home floods near the Hackensack River — can waterproofing help?
Yes. In the Little Ferry, Lodi, and Moonachie lowlands the problem is a high water table and hydrostatic pressure, not just surface leaks. An interior French drain with a strong primary pump and battery backup relieves that pressure and keeps your floor dry — the right system for river-basin homes across Bergen County.
Which Bergen County towns do you serve?
All of them — including Hackensack, Paramus, Fort Lee, Teaneck, Fair Lawn, Englewood, Ridgewood, Mahwah, Bergenfield, Garfield, Lodi, and Little Ferry, dispatched from our Berkeley Heights hub.
Is the warranty transferable if I sell my Bergen County home?
Yes. Our interior waterproofing systems carry a lifetime transferable dry-basement warranty that stays with the home — a real selling point at closing. See our guarantees.
