Calls are handled by a local basement waterproofing contractor that works Rockaway and the surrounding Morris County area.
The Rockaway area covers both Rockaway Borough and the much larger Rockaway Township, and basement water issues look a bit different across them. In the borough, older homes near the center of town often have stone or block foundations that seep at the base. In the township, many homes sit around lakes or on wooded, rocky hillsides, and lower levels in raised ranches and split-levels are common trouble spots during spring thaw and summer storms.
Rockaway Borough sits low along the Rockaway River, with Route 46 crossing its southern end and Interstate 80 clipping the northeast corner, so many lots are flat, close together and near the water table. Rockaway Township is the opposite: roughly 46 square miles of ridges, lakes and streams, with Picatinny Arsenal and the Splitrock Reservoir lands taking up large stretches. Brooks like Hibernia Brook and White Meadow Brook drain lake areas south toward the river, and homes near them can see groundwater rise fast in a soaking rain. Iron was mined for generations around Hibernia and Mount Hope, a reminder of how much rock lies underfoot. That rock shapes nearly every waterproofing decision here, from where a drain can go to how deep anyone can dig.
