Towns We Cover Across Hudson County and the Edgewater Waterfront
Hoboken and the surrounding Hudson County area
Cities and towns we cover
Hoboken, NJ
Tell us what you can see and where the water came from, and we will say whether this is a drying job, a strip out, or nothing worth paying for. In Hoboken that turns on one number: 1,486 of the city's 2,216 paid flood claims are coded rainfall or snowmelt against only 344 tidal, so the water that ruins a basement here usually arrives up the drain rather than in from the river.
Coverage in Hoboken →Jersey City, NJ
Send us the block and we will tell you which of Jersey City's two water problems you have, and what it takes to fix. Central Avenue on the Heights sits about 148 feet above sea level and the waterfront near Exchange Place about 13, so hillside runoff against an old stone foundation and a combined sewer surcharge two miles away need completely different work.
Coverage in Jersey City →Weehawken, NJ
An assessment in Weehawken is mostly about working out which way water is moving through the hill, because that decides whether you need drainage work, a dehumidifier or nothing at all. The township's flood record is a single tidal event rather than a pattern: 88 of its 114 paid claims came from Sandy and only seven from the 2021 rain that produced hundreds in Hoboken.
Coverage in Weehawken →Union City, NJ
Union City is not a flood town, which is good news: a damp wall here almost always has an ordinary, findable cause, and a written report is usually what gets it fixed. No paid flood insurance claim in the county file is attributed to Union City, and the town does not appear in the federal community list for Hudson County, so the water is condensation, a failed lateral or a leak next door, and with four in five households renting the real question is who has to pay.
Coverage in Union City →West New York, NJ
Most mold in West New York is a shared building problem before it is anyone's private one, so the first useful thing is a report saying which side of the party wall the water is on. A town of 52,000 people has exactly one active combined sewer outfall, which is almost no capacity to shed a storm at the river end, and pressure that cannot get out comes back through the lowest indoor openings instead.
Coverage in West New York →North Bergen, NJ
North Bergen drains away from the Hudson rather than into it, and that single fact decides which half of the township has the water problem and what fixing it costs. All six of its active combined sewer outfalls sit on the western, Meadowlands side and empty into Bellman, Cromakill and Penhorn Creeks, so a West Side Avenue basement and a Boulevard East basement are two different jobs.
Coverage in North Bergen →Secaucus, NJ
A Secaucus basement is usually damp between storms rather than flooded during them, and that is a cheaper problem to fix than most people expect. The town's center point sits about 5.4 feet above sea level on the Meadowlands floor, so the water table stays close to the slab all year, and the right answer is often a properly sized dehumidifier rather than a hunt for a leak that is not there.
Coverage in Secaucus →Bayonne, NJ
Plan a Bayonne basement around the next cloudburst rather than the next hurricane and you will spend the money in the right place. Bayonne is the one city here whose worst insurance year was the rain: 58 of its 163 paid flood claims fall in 2021 against only 31 in 2012, and 97 of them are coded rainfall or snowmelt against 26 tidal.
Coverage in Bayonne →Guttenberg, NJ
In Guttenberg the question is almost never flooding and almost always air, so the cheapest useful step is usually finding out what the building's ventilation is doing. Of the town's 5,476 housing units, 1,450 date from the 1970s, the largest single decade, and that stock fails mechanically where the prewar walkup next to it fails structurally.
Coverage in Guttenberg →Edgewater, NJ
Edgewater is the one borough on this list outside Hudson County, so knowing who to escalate to saves a wasted morning before any work starts. Its two combined sewer outfalls on Bluff Road and Palisade Terrace are permitted to the Borough of Fort Lee and treated at the Bergen County plant in Little Ferry, and with a median home built in 1992 the failures here are envelope and mechanical rather than a Victorian cellar.

Describe the patch, the smell, and whether the water came up from below or in from outside. That much usually settles which trade this needs, whether it is small enough to handle yourself, and who should be paying for it.
