Low ground near the Delaware, a rail junction before the branch lines went. Where the water goes matters as much as the shingle.
Kinkora is on the Delaware side of Mansfield Township, low ground near the river that served as a rail junction back when the branch lines ran through. The houses are modest and mostly old, set on flat lots where runoff has nowhere much to fall away to. A roof here can be in perfect condition while the basement stays wet, because the trouble starts at the gutter rather than at the shingle.
So we treat the whole path. Gutter size and slope, downspout count, leader extensions carried well away from the foundation, and drip edge tucked so water cannot run behind the fascia. That work goes in with the roof rather than after it. Permits are filed with the Mansfield Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

Sometimes, and it is worth checking before you dig anything up. If undersized gutters or downspouts that dump at the wall are putting the roof’s water straight against the foundation, correcting that is far cheaper than waterproofing. If the water is coming from grade or groundwater, a roof will not touch it and we will say so.
It depends on the roof area draining into it and the pitch feeding it, not on what was there before. Many older houses here have five-inch gutter carrying a roof that wants six, or one downspout where two belong. We work it out from measurements rather than replacing like for like.
Mansfield Township. Kinkora is a locality within the township, not a municipality, so the Mansfield Township construction office reviews the application and inspects the work under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Burlington County has no role in it, and we handle the filing and the inspection.
The gutter is not the cause, but it is where you see the result. Meltwater from a warm attic refreezes at the cold eave and builds back up under the shingle courses. Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves, proper soffit intake and adequate gutter capacity together are what stop the water getting in.
