What Causes Moisture in Your Basement?
It's easy to spot water leaking through a crack in your basement, but most homeowners don't know that there is a potential for water issues without heavy rains or obvious signs of standing water. At Healthy Way, we try to educate our clients on the real causes of water in your basement. Here are two of the most common reasons why you might need basement waterproofing in Colts Neck:
The "Clay Bowl" Effect
It might not be evident on the surface, but many basements are built in a below-grade dip, which is surrounded by backfill. Because backfill is made up of soil that was removed during foundation digging, it creates an empty shape or "bowl" effect. Once the foundation is finished, this loose soil is placed back around the foundation. Unfortunately, soil of this consistency is more absorbent and porous than the undisturbed soil around it, which is hard-packed and less porous. When rain or thunderstorms occurs, the soil closest to your home becomes saturated, putting pressure on your basement walls.
Hydrostatic Pressure:
This kind of pressure affects homeowners with property built below the water table or on a hillside where water runs down a hill. When the soil around your foundation becomes saturated, it will expand and put intense pressure on the walls of your foundation and basement. This pressure can create cracks, giving water an easy route into your basement.
How Healthy Way Solves Your Basement Waterproofing Needs
Having a wet basement not only puts your health at risk, it lowers the value of your home and makes it more difficult to sell. The good news? We offer a number of waterproofing services and products to solve your problems fast. A few of our solutions include:
- Sump pumps
- Perimeter drainage systems
- Doorway drainage systems
- High-strength washer hoses

When you use Healthy Way for basement waterproofing in New Jersey, you can rest easy knowing that all our systems come with a written, lifetime warranty. This warranty is transferrable, meaning you can re-establish your home's value and give future owners confidence knowing that their new home is protected.
The Healthy Way Basement Waterproofing Process
Because every home is different, your basement waterproofing solution could be vastly different than that of your next-door neighbor. Many factors play a part when it comes to keeping your basement dry and safe for living. As a general rule, we approach each issue with a "prevention over repair" mindset. By taking this stance, we give our clients a more cost-effective, long-term resolution. We're not in the business of putting a "Band-Aid" on your water problem - we want to fix your issue completely, so you don't have to worry about recurring problems. Our effective basement waterproofing systems include a mix of the following strategies:
Interior Waterproofing
Interior waterproofing methods usually start with our team ensuring that any holes or cracks in your basement floors, walls, and windows are sealed properly. Sealing cracks in your basement is an important first step since this is usually the first place where water can enter your home. Our sealants keep your basement dry and help prevent more moisture from finding its way into your home. Interior waterproofing strategies like these also help lower humidity levels in your basement. While sealants and other interior waterproofing strategies help correct initial issues, they don't usually solve the underlying problem causing leaks in your basement. Those issues are most often found outside your home.
Exterior Waterproofing
Once our team is finished with your interior waterproofing, we will move to the exterior of your home. Waterproofing the outside of your home is often a more complex, nuanced goal. Because of the difficult nature of exterior waterproofing, we recommend you consult with our team of professionals before tackling the job on your own. Generally speaking, our team beings the outdoor waterproofing process by excavating the soil around your home's foundation. Once we remove the soil surrounding your foundation, our experts will apply a polymer-based sealant to any cracks we discover. This sealant is a long-term solution and should remain intact for the life of your home. While the Healthy Way team solves your outdoor moisture problems, we will also check your downspouts, to make sure they aren't clogged. An inefficient gutter system does a poor job of directing water away from your home's foundation, which can cause more moisture to seep into your basement over time.
Drainage Systems
One of the most common reasons that people need basement waterproofing in cityname is because they have a poor drainage system. A proper drainage system is paramount in keeping your basement dry and your family safe. These systems are meant to direct water away from your home and come in many forms, from French Drains to simple systems like ground soil. If you're thinking of installing a complex drainage system, save yourself some time and check the soil around your foundation first to make sure it isn't retaining moisture. If a more complex system like a sump pump is required, it's best to work with certified professionals like those at Healthy Way, to make sure your drainage system is installed correctly.
WHICH WATERPROOFING SOLUTION IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Because every home is different, it's hard to say what kind of waterproofing solution is right for your situation. Most homeowners require a combination of interior and exterior waterproofing. There are dozens of factors that come into play when it comes to waterproofing your home, so the answer to your problem may be different than your neighbor's. The good news is that Healthy Way is fully equipped to handle whatever moisture issue you're having. We will work tirelessly to make certain your basement is dry, mold-free, and safe to enjoy. That way, you can get back to living life rather than worrying about mold growth or foundation damage.

Serotonin Centers, a wellness and anti-aging concept, broke ground on the first of five Garden State franchise locations, the brand announced Aug. 25.
The center, located at 178 Route 537 in Colts Neck, is expected to open in late fall.
The company said it is in the final stages of determining the exact details of the four other New Jersey centers; however, the Serotonin website lists “Coming Soon” locations for Wall, Shrewsbury, Marlboro and Livingston.
All five Garden State locations will be operated by co-owners Dr. Lisa Granado and Danielle D’Alessio, a physician’s assistant in emergency medicine.
“Dr. Granado and I are eager to spread awareness on the benefits of anti-aging in our own backyard,” D’Alessio said in a statement. “We’re confident our combined experience as medical professionals and med spa owners, coupled with Serotonin’s unique value proposition, will help people to take back their youth, turn back the biological clock and improve their healthspan.”
Founded in 2021 in Florida by New Jersey native Eric Casaburi — who also established the Retro Fitness gym brand — Serotonin Centers offer technologies to “holistically fight” aging through hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss, immunity and recovery and procedures such as Botox and CoolSculpting.
The five New Jersey locations will be the brand’s first sites outside of Florida.
“While the progression of this development agreement has been exciting to witness, there’s plenty of work ahead to ensure this first facility is up and operational in line with the timeframe we’re anticipating,” Casaburi said. “Not only will that serve as a benchmark for the locations to come but will allow us to begin introducing area residents to our outstanding concept.”
In a July statement announcing the franchises, Casaburi said the pandemic was part of the reason for the industry’s growth, saying more people starting thinking about their health “in a way they hadn’t in the past.”
“More than ever, people are realizing that once health is lost, it’s difficult to regain. As a result, a proactive approach to personal wellness is taking hold, which has worked to propel Serotonin’s growth,” Casaburi said.

Colts Neck – a relatively new program given the depth of the Shore Conference’s football history – has turned itself into a consistent winner over the last few years. The Cougars have done so with a roster full of experienced and talented players.
This year will be different. Those tried-and-true players have all graduated. The team is now full of underclassmen.
If Colts Neck wants to remain a consistent winner, it’ll have to do so with a host of new players for the first time during this recent stretch.
“We’re replacing some four-year starters and a lot of three-year starters,” Colts Neck head coach Matt Ahearn said. “Whenever you have to do that, it’s a big challenge, especially when you’re doing it with sophomores and juniors.”
The tradition
Over the last three seasons, the Cougars have been a tough team to beat. They’ve gone 20-7 over that span, including an 8-3 campaign during the 2019 season.
Colts Neck’s best season occurred in 2013 when the Cougars won a program best 10 games and advanced to their first and only sectional title game. The Cougars fell to Brick Township in the Central Group 4 final.
The challenge
The biggest challenge facing Colts Neck is clear. How do you replace all that talent?
The Cougars must first find a successor to quarterback Tommy Fallon. A four-year starter, Fallon led the offense during Colts Neck’s successful run with a strong and accurate arm.
Ahearn believes he has plenty of promise at the quarterback position. Dom Beninanto, Tesio Carabello and Brady Tormey are all competing for the starting gig.
“Tommy was a special kid,” Ahearn said. “With that being said, I’m excited about the guys we’re looking at quarterback this year.”
With a quarterback like Fallon, Colts Neck certainly didn’t shy away from throwing the ball around the yard. Ahearn said he’s not married to the idea of throwing the ball a ton this year. It depends on the personnel that hits the field Week 1.
“Every year, we curtail our offense a little bit who our quarterback is, who our running back is,” Ahearn said. “That’ll dictate what we do.”
Another offensive strength for Colts Neck was its offensive line and the sheer size on the players protecting Fallon and establishing the running game. Much of that line has since graduated, but the offensive line should still be a strength.
Matt Liggio started at right guard last year and is described by Ahearn as a "beast in the weight room." Charlie Whalen is the younger brother of last year’s starter Ryan Whalen and will be penciled in at left tackle. He stands at 6-foot-7, 260 pounds.
JJ Cifelli is another 260-pounder and should see time at left guard.
Expectations
Can Colts Neck maintain its winning ways with - aside from the likes of star returnees Will Surdez (WR/LB) and Chris Scully (RB/LB) - mostly a brand new and inexperienced roster? Ahearn certainly hopes so.
With a tough schedule, highlighted by an October game against Wall, the Cougars will have to grind this fall.
“We want to compete every game,” Ahearn said. “Hopefully, we can pull some out in the end.”

COLTS NECK, NJ — John Camera is one of six candidates seeking three full-term seats on the Colts Neck Board of Education in the Nov. 8 general election.
In these profiles, based on questions provided, the candidates give voters background about themselves and their positions on the issues. Patch is publishing individual profiles leading up to the election.
Camera is running on the Colts Kids First slate and says his work as a business administrator in local government capacities has given him experience in reviewing and improving school budgets. he also advocates more local input and decision making and facility upkeep and improvements.
Read more from candidate John Camera:
Name: John Camera
Age: 66
Town of residence: Colts Neck
Position sought: Colts Neck Board of Education, full term
Are you an incumbent or have previous school board or civic experience? I am not an incumbent, but I have over 30 years experience working for municipal government with some of my responsibilities having been review of school budgets.
Do you have a campaign designation or slate? Yes, "Colts Kids First"
Campaign website: Colts Kids First on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ColtsKidsFirst/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/coltskidsfirst/ )
Family: Married to my wife, Phyllis, for 15 years, four children together, all in Colts Neck schools, as well as two adult children of mine.
Education: Some college credits
Occupation: Berkeley Township Administrator
Why do you want to run for the school board and what in your experience or background prepares you for election.
I became aware of how dismissive and disrespectful the current school board was to parents when I attended meetings over the past two years. During my 25 years as a councilman and administrator in Seaside Heights, part of my job was reviewing defeated school board budgets and working with the boards to develop changes and improvements to those budgets.
Additionally, my experience as the business administrator for both Seaside Heights Borough and Berkeley Township qualifies me for budget work, facility maintenance and contract management and employee relations.
Slates of candidates: If you are running as part of a slate of candidates, please explain the main positions of the slate if there are agreed upon positions. Please name your slate and its other candidates.
"Colts Kids First" is our slate of three candidates, including Jessica Ramirez and Matt Fonte. We stand for open meetings allowing for input from all stakeholders, providing a safe and healthy environment for our students and staff, conservative economics, traditional, exceptional academic studies, local input and decision making, and facility upkeep and improvements.
Name what you see as the top issues currently facing your district and how you plan to address them. These can be local issues and/or statewide issues.
The top issues are:
What changes or improvements do you see for the district that could enhance educational life and is there a way you might accomplish that?
Providing a safe and healthy environment where children are encouraged to interact with each other and their instructors. The current board went way too far with restrictive requirements which limited healthy interactions and taught kids to be afraid of each other and afraid of normal healthy contact. There should be more class trips (including overnight ones), special projects, and school events which include parents to make school something the kids enjoy participating in.

Some teams have a big-play offense. Winslow had a big-play defense Saturday.
The Winslow defensive unit, on the field for 38 second-half plays and on its heels while confronted with a relentless Colts Neck rushing game, made courageous stops on two third down and two fourth down situations and held on for a 16-8 South Jersey, Group 4 quarterfinal win.
Fifth-seeded Winslow, which won its third-straight game and improved to 5-3, will make another trip to Monmouth County next week when it plays at top-seeded Middletown South (7-1) in the NJSIAA/Rothman Orthopaedics Football Championships.
“We call third and fourth down money downs and we wanted to get our money,” said Winslow’s junior defensive back Kameron Brown. “But we need to be better next week.”
Colts Neck has what is really a one-dimensional offense. Junior running back Chris Scully, one of the finest and most durable backs in the Shore Conference, rushed for 154 yards – 114 in the second half. Scully, a 5-foot-10, 205-pounder who runs like a tank, touched the ball on 42 of Colts Neck’s 54 snaps.
“We knew coming in he was a big back,” said Winslow’s two-way senior Jamil Peterson, who ran for 121 yards and scored the decisive TD on a two-yard run with 4:20 left in the second quarter. “A big piece of his success was his offensive line.”
“We kept trying to hit him high,” Brown said. “We’d have been better going at his legs.”
Trailing 16-0, Colts Neck (6-4) came out hellbent on establishing the run. The Cougars took the ensuing kickoff and used 10-straight running plays to go 54 yards.
Scully, who carried eight times for 45 yards on the drive, capped it with a one-yard run. Scully also scored the two point conversion, cutting the Winslow lead to 16-8 with 6:13 left in the third quarter.
The Winslow offense, which had success on the ground in the first half, was stopped cold in the second. The Eagles ran only 19 plays and lost a fumble during the final two quarters.
The Winslow defense was tough when it needed to be, however.
It stripped Scully and recovered a fumbled at its own 29 yard line with 10:29 left in the fourth.
It stopped Scully inches short of a first down on a fourth-and-two at its 19 with 8:11 left.
It stopped Colts Neck on first and goal situations on third and fourth down at its nine and 12 yard lines with 2:23 left in the game.
“Sometimes we play to the scoreboard instead of getting ready for the next play,” said Winslow head coach Bill Belton. “I’m not going to be a grumpy coach, but we left a lot on the field today.
“At certain moments we made a play when we had to make a play.”
Winslow closed out the game with consecutive sacks by 263-pound defensive end Darrien Smith.
In the first half, Colts Neck intercepted a tipped pass and end a drive at the Cougar five. However, on its next possession Winslow found the end zone.
The three-play, seven-yard drive was set up by a 32-yard punt return by Penn State commit Ejani Shakir, who caught a short punt at full speed and returned it inside the 10 yard line.
Two plays later, quarterback James Wilson Jr. scored from the four on a quarterback sweep. Wilson then hit Shakir on a two-point conversion pass.
Winslow forced another punt and it embarked on a 92-yard scoring march. Peterson scored on the drive’s ninth play from one yard out. Peterson also ran for the two-point conversion.
With his 154 yards Saturday, Scully has 1,313 yards.
Winslow’s freshman linebacker, Jaden Green, suffered an arm injury with nine minutes left in the game. He was taken by ambulance to the Level II Trauma Center at Jersey University Medical Center in Neptune.
