In Hazlet Township, NJ, a homeowner in their unfinished basement was experiencing ongoing water intrusion through a visible crack in the cinderblock foundation, especially during periods of steady rain, and the cinderblocks themselves were consistently wet to the touch, indicating moisture absorption and lateral seepage through the porous concrete. Concerned about both structural integrity and recurring water damage, they contacted us to assess the issue and provide a long-term solution rather than a temporary patch. After a full evaluation, we determined that the best approach would be to relieve hydrostatic pressure and permanently stabilize the cracked wall. We installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system and tied it directly into the existing sump pump to efficiently capture and redirect groundwater before it could enter the basement living space. To address the structural crack and prevent further movement, we installed CarbonArmor straps along the affected cinderblock wall, reinforcing it and locking it into place without invasive reconstruction. Once completed, the system ensured that any future water intrusion would be properly managed, the crack was structurally secured, and the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their basement would remain dry and protected moving forward, even during heavy rain events.
