Waterproofing & Damage Restoration in Cherry Hill, NJ | Triton Contracting

Freeze-thaw damage occurs when water seeps into cracks or gaps in your foundation or basement walls, freezes in cold weather, and expands. This widens the cracks and can cause leaks or structural weakening. Common signs include fresh cracks in foundation walls, peeling paint, efflorescence (white powdery residue), and damp spots that appear after a thaw. If you live near Cherry Hill’s Cooper River or in older neighborhoods with stone foundations, you may be more prone to this type of damage.

First, shut off the water supply to the heater and turn off the power or gas. Move valuables away from the leak area and start drying with fans or a wet/dry vacuum. Then call Triton Contracting. We will perform a full water extraction, dry the affected area (including subfloors and walls), inspect for mold risk, and repair any damaged flooring or drywall. Finally, we’ll check your waterproofing and moisture control systems to prevent future issues. This is especially important in homes near the Cherry Hill Mall where many properties have basements prone to moisture.

Garage water intrusion often shows as puddles on the floor after rain, dampness on walls, rust on metal fixtures, or a musty smell. In freeze-thaw cycles, you may see water seeping through cracks in the slab or where the garage floor meets the walls. Triton Contracting can solve this by sealing cracks, installing interior and exterior waterproofing systems, improving drainage around the garage, and, if needed, repairing the foundation. For homes in neighborhoods near Garden State Park, where garages are often below grade, this is a common and solvable problem.
