Rockaway Township is the largest municipality in Morris County by population and is known for its historic mining roots.
This township is considered one of the best places to live in New Jersey, featuring outdoor attractions like Splitrock Reservoir, Wildcat Ridge Wildlife Management Area, and Rockaway.
Unfortunately, its geography makes homes in Rockaway Township especially vulnerable to basement flooding and foundation stress.
With an average of 48 inches of rainfall and 24 inches of snow each year, plus steep slopes, dense clay soil, and neighborhoods built near rivers and reservoirs, Rockaway Township basements face year-round water pressure.
Older homes in White Meadow Lake, Hibernia, and Mount Hope often have stone or block foundations that weren’t built with modern drainage in mind.
Meanwhile, newer subdivisions can still see flooding from nor’easters, spring snowmelt, or overflowing storm drains.
That’s why United Waterproofing provides a patent-pending basement waterproofing and foundation repair system engineered for Morris County’s unique soil and climate conditions, keeping Rockaway homes dry, stable, and safe.
Our waterproofing system keeps water away from the interior altogether and features better built products able to stand up to age and environmental stresses.
Many Rockaway homeowners assume a sump pump is enough to protect their basements. The truth? In this part of Morris County, that’s rarely the case.
Standard sump pumps are often undersized, easily overwhelmed by nor’easters, spring runoff, or summer downpours, and completely useless during a power outage. Even when they temporarily hold up, they don’t fix the root causes of basement flooding.
Over time, relying on a sump pump alone can lead to:
The bottom line: sump pumps are just one piece of a complete waterproofing strategy. Without professional drainage, foundation reinforcement, and freeze-proof discharge lines, even the best sump pump can fail.
That’s why United Waterproofing designs full defense systems, giving Rockaway homeowners lasting protection and peace of mind.
