Single-family neighborhoods
In neighborhoods built from the 1960s onward, such as Ramblewood, Larchmont and the streets around Rancocas Woods, homes vary: some have full basements, some have crawl spaces, and some are on slabs. Basements of that era are often concrete block, which leaks differently than poured concrete. Water can enter the hollow cores of the block and appear at the bottom of the wall, which is why interior drainage at the base of the wall is a common fix for block basements.
Townhouses and condominiums: check the HOA first
Mount Laurel has many townhouse and condominium communities. In many associations, the exterior of the building, the grading, landscaping, gutters and sometimes the foundation are association responsibilities. Before you hire anyone to dig, cut into a foundation wall or reroute a downspout, read your governing documents and contact the association or property manager. It may be their repair, and many associations require approval for exterior changes.
Sump discharge and sewers
Most of Mount Laurel is on public sewer. Sewer utilities generally prohibit sump pumps from discharging into the sanitary sewer through a laundry tub or floor drain, because the extra water overloads the system. If your pump empties into a sink or floor drain, ask the contractor about rerouting it outside, and check with your sewer utility.
Streams and low ground
The Rancocas Creek and its tributaries run through and along the township, and some low-lying lots near them are in mapped flood areas. Use FEMA's Flood Map Service Center to check your address. A waterproofing system manages groundwater, not river flooding.
Covering all of Mount Laurel
Requests come in from Ramblewood, Larchmont, Rancocas Woods and the townhouse communities off Route 38, and from streets along Route 38, Route 73, Church Road, Union Mill Road, Hainesport-Mount Laurel Road and Elbo Lane (ZIP 08054). The Mount Laurel Township area sits near the Rancocas Creek and its South Branch tributaries, so mention in your request if your property is low-lying or close to the water.
Mount Laurel questions
My townhouse basement leaks. Is that my problem or the HOA's?
It depends on your association's governing documents. Many make the association responsible for building exteriors and grading. Report it to the association in writing and ask before hiring a contractor.
Is it OK for my sump to empty into the laundry sink?
Usually not. Most sewer utilities prohibit sump water in the sanitary sewer. Ask your sewer utility and have the discharge routed outside.
