Mount Olive Township, home to more than 28,000 residents, is the largest municipality in Morris County by land area.
Its history stretches back centuries as Native American trails once crossed the Musconetcong River valley, and the township grew rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries as iron mining and farming shaped the community.
Today, Mount Olive combines historic neighborhoods, newer suburban developments, and natural landmarks like Turkey Brook Park and Budd Lake—the largest natural lake in New Jersey.
While rich in history and natural beauty, Mount Olive’s geography poses real flooding risks.
Budd Lake and the Musconetcong River create areas prone to seasonal flooding, while high precipitation—averaging 51 inches of rain and 34 inches of snow annually—puts foundations and basements under year-round pressure.
Historic homes near Flanders and Budd Lake often have stone or block foundations that predate modern drainage codes, while newer subdivisions can still experience water intrusion from nor’easters, spring snowmelt, or burst pipes.
That’s why United Waterproofing offers a patent-pending basement waterproofing and foundation repair system engineered for Morris County’s unique conditions—keeping Mount Olive homes safe, dry, and structurally sound.
Many homeowners think a simple sump pump will protect their basement, but in Mount Olive’s wet climate, that’s rarely the case. Standard sump pumps are often undersized, easily overwhelmed during nor’easters or spring thaws, and completely useless during a power outage.
Even if they keep up temporarily, they don’t address the root causes of basement water damage.
That’s why relying on a sump pump alone often leads to bigger problems, including:
The truth is, sump pumps are only one piece of a complete waterproofing system. Without proper drainage, foundation reinforcement, and freeze-resistant discharge, even the best pump can fail, leaving your home exposed to costly damage.
