Blue Umbrella Waterproofing

About Blue Umbrella Waterproofing

Blue Umbrella Waterproofing is a privately owned, non-franchise family business based in Cranford (Union County), founded by owner Steve Karlik — a third-generation waterproofing professional with a law-enforcement background and 20+ years of prior field experience. It covers the full structural-water triangle: basement waterproofing, foundation repair (epoxy injection for vertical cracks, plus steel I-beam bracing or paintable carbon-fiber reinforcement strips for walls bowed more than two inches), and crawl space encapsulation with vinyl liners and dehumidifiers. It diagnoses foundation cracks by type (vertical, horizontal, and stair-step) as a specific area of expertise, and backs its work with a lifetime warranty, an ongoing "Umbrella Maintenance Plan," and free home inspections — marketed through dedicated, hyper-local service-area pages for each county and several individual towns (e.g., a dedicated Ridgefield office listing).

• Experience: Founded 2016–2018 (BBB records list a 2/1/2018 business-start date and 10/26/2017 incorporation; the company’s own marketing cites 2016); owner Steve Karlik has 20+ years of prior field experience before founding the company.
