New Jersey: highest water-table density, nor'easters, and pre-1970 stone foundations
New Jersey has one of the highest water-table densities in the United States — a combination of dense glacial till, low elevation along Raritan Bay and the Jersey Shore, and a coastline-to-Highlands gradient that funnels storm runoff into below-grade living space. Hurricane Sandy (2012) and Tropical Storm Ida (2021) flooded tens of thousands of NJ basements, and routine April–November nor'easter rainfall regularly produces 3–6 inches in 24 hours. Add the state's pre-1970 stone-and-block foundation stock — Newark, Paterson, Trenton, Jersey City Heights — and you have housing where water intrusion is not a question of if but how often. When the sump runs continuously, the clock is ticking.
