Local conditions
Why Hudson County basements get wet
Hudson County is one of the toughest places in New Jersey to keep a basement dry, because the water is quite literally all around it. Bordered by the Hudson River, Newark Bay, and the Hackensack Meadowlands, much of the county sits on tidal ground and old marsh fill with a very high water table — in low-lying Hoboken, chronic flooding is a fact of life every heavy rain. Hydrostatic pressure pushes groundwater up through basement floors here even when it isn’t storming. Basement waterproofing in Hudson County has to work against that constant, tidal-influenced ground moisture.
The housing makes it distinctive too. Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, and Weehawken are packed with old brownstones and brick row homes on stone and brick foundations that wick and seep through the mortar. Put it together and Hudson County basements take on water four main ways: hydrostatic pressure pushing groundwater up through the floor, foundation cracks in poured or block walls, seepage through porous stone and brick, and surface water from the tight, hardscaped lots that funnel runoff 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 Hudson 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 brownstones and row homes of Hudson County.
Sump pumps & battery backup
A dependable pump with a battery backup that keeps working through the tidal flooding that hits Hoboken and the waterfront when the power fails.
Foundation crack repair
Polyurethane and epoxy injection that seals leaking poured-concrete cracks permanently.
Exterior waterproofing
Excavation, membrane, and footing drains for failing brick and stone 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 tight urban foundations.

Hudson County waterproofing questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide free basement inspections in Hudson County?
Yes. RDC offers free, no-pressure inspections throughout Hudson 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 Hudson 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 Hudson County home — often an old brownstone or row home — runs several thousand. You get a fixed, itemized quote after the free inspection, and we recommend only what you need.
Can you waterproof an old brownstone or brick row home in Hoboken or Jersey City?
Yes — that’s a large share of our Hudson County work. Brownstones and row homes on stone and brick foundations seep through the mortar, and with the county’s high, tidal water table an interior French drain and sump is usually the right fix. It relieves the pressure and keeps the floor dry no matter how old the walls are.
Which Hudson County towns do you serve?
All of them — including Jersey City, Hoboken, Bayonne, Union City, West New York, North Bergen, Kearny, Secaucus, Weehawken, and Harrison, dispatched from our Berkeley Heights hub.
Is the warranty transferable if I sell my Hudson 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.
