In general, you never think of basement waterproofers until something goes wrong. When that happens, your natural instinct is to call the first business you find to remedy the situation. Unfortunately that can lead to a lot of heartache, especially if you select a business that is unprofessional and fails to solve your problem. If you live in the ‘Garden State’ and want to avoid working with a company that will cause you grief, consider one of the businesses below. They are some of the best waterproofers in New Jersey, well ranked by the Better Business Bureau and recommended by your neighbors.

Select Basement Waterproofing Company has provided services to customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware for over 17 years. It is an A+ rated company by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), where it has been an accredited business since 2004. The company is family-run and offers structural repairs, crawlspace waterproofing, mold eradication, basement remodeling and basement waterproofing services. The basement waterproofing process is a seven-step procedure starting with draining the basement of all moisture. That is followed by the following steps: installation of sump pumps, repairs to the building’s structure, application of waterproof and mold coatings, installation of reflective insulating material, application of waterproof epoxies and sealants and finally, the installation of a dehumidifier.
Quality 1st Basement Systems
Located in Perth Amboy, NJ, Quality 1st Basement Systems serves the entire northern New Jersey region plus the five boroughs of New York City. It received accreditation from the BBB in 2004 and has remained in good standing since then, with an A+ rating. The company has been waterproofing basements since 1987 and all of its employees are certified professionals. It offers a free estimate service, during which a qualified technician visits your home to determine whether there are any possible moisture problems before they become a bigger and more costly problem.
United Waterproofing
Although United Waterproofing only recently became a BBB-accredited business in 2009, it has been in operation for over a decade in New Jersey. Not a single complaint against the company was registered to the BBB, indicating a high customer satisfaction rate. To address basement moisture problems, the Dover-based company sends a representative to determine the source of the water and then create a unique solution. United Waterproofing is unique in that it not only fixes moisture issues, but also provides a full warranty. As such, the company returns to address any reoccurring moisture problems where it previously fixed, and the warranty passes on to at least one future owner of the home.
Eco Dry Waterproofing
As its name suggests, Eco Dry Waterproofing uses environmentally-friendly products to address basement moisture problems. It is one of few to take this approach in the New Jersey area. The company has only been accredited on BBB since 2010, but there are no customer complaints filed against it and it has an A- rating. One tool used by the company is the Humidex dehumidifier, which has been featured on HGTV, a major television channel. The machine sucks in moisture and purifies the air. Another tool used by Eco Dry is Hydra Stone GL, which unlike conventional river gravel that is often used by other waterproofing companies, is an earth friendly waterproofing alternative that lasts longer.
