This garage apron of a Monmouth County, NJ house was sinking and settling, so the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basements about lifting and leveling their concrete with PolyLevel. The homeowner chose PolyLevel because it was fast and easy to install, and within 15 minutes he could pull their car out from their garage and over his newly lifted garage apron.
A homeowner in Neptune City was in need of a new sump pump as the old one did not function properly. Quality 1st Basements installed a Super Sump Classic alongside the Waterguard French drain system. The Super Sump Pump is a great value as it can remove up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour smoothly and quietly. This gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement was protected.
Brynne, from Neptune City, contacted Quality 1st Basements for a solution to his concerns in his basement. He noticed dampness from time to time during and after heavy rain. We sent Specialist, Javier out to do a full inspection of the basement area and design a solution that would keep the space dry.
Upon inspecting the damp basement, Javier noticed multiple cracks in the foundation wall. Knowing that over time this could cause serious foundation issues, he suggested the basement walls be stabilized. He suggested our Wall Reinforcing System, Carbon Armor to stabilize each wall and a TripleSafe sump pump to provide the ultimate solution for the dampness.
To have a healthy and clean basement you need to make sure the space is dry and sealed properly. When we say sealed, we mean making sure all areas where water and drafts can find their way through, don’t. Most of the time when your basement floods, water is coming up through the wall, window or the floor. We recommend replacing your basement windows and installing a Full Waterproofing System to ensure water never finds a way in. Waterproofing only a section where you see water now is only a temporary fix. If you want a permanent solution, full perimeter is the way to go.
As discouraging as a wet basement can be not only to one's health but to the risk of property damage,a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System with its powerful cast-iron pump is capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water out of the basement per hour. With a battery backup pump to keep the basement dry during power outages and a WaterWatch alarm to alert the homeowner to a pump failure, this customer was able to have peace of mind after installation.
