Mid-century basements
Homes built in the decades after the war, many in the subdivisions off Riverton Road and Cinnaminson Avenue, often have concrete block foundations or crawl spaces, and may not have been built with a sump pump or perimeter drain. After decades, typical issues include:
- Water seeping in at the base of block walls after long rains.
- Old clay or metal downspout lines that are clogged or broken underground.
- Soil that has settled toward the foundation.
- Steel lally columns or water heaters rusting at the base from repeated dampness.
Pompeston Creek and the riverfront
Pompeston Creek runs through the township to the Delaware, and the streets near Riverton and the riverfront are close to water. Lower lots near the creek and river can see higher groundwater, and some are in mapped flood hazard areas. Check your address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. A sump and drainage system can manage groundwater, but not a river or creek flood.
Sump discharge
If your home was retrofitted with a sump, make sure the pump does not empty into the sanitary sewer through a laundry tub or floor drain, which sewer utilities generally prohibit. Sending discharge onto a neighbor's yard or across a sidewalk where it freezes is also a common complaint. Ask the contractor about a proper outlet and confirm with the township if it ties into the street.
Selling or buying
Basement water often comes up during home inspections. If you are buying or selling in Cinnaminson, ask for any waterproofing warranty in writing and whether it transfers to the new owner.
Covering all of Cinnaminson
Requests come in from the riverfront streets near Riverton, neighborhoods along Pompeston Creek and subdivisions off Riverton Road, and from streets along Route 130, Riverton Road, Cinnaminson Avenue, Church Road and Union Landing Road (ZIP 08077). The Cinnaminson Township area sits near the Delaware River and Pompeston Creek, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.
Cinnaminson questions
My block basement only leaks at the bottom of the walls. Why?
Water often collects inside the hollow block cores and exits at the base. Interior drainage at the floor-wall joint is a common fix. A contractor can confirm after an inspection.
Does a waterproofing warranty transfer to a buyer?
Some do and some do not, and some require a fee or notice. Ask for the warranty in writing and read the transfer terms.
