Tackling Moisture Concerns In Hackensack, NJ Basement
Challenge
Persistent water intrusion and damp conditions in a Hackensack, NJ basement raised serious concerns for the homeowner, who feared the long-term effects of mold growth and structural damage. With no effective drainage system in place, even light rainfall resulted in water pooling along the walls and floor. Determined to protect their home and improve the basement environment, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a lasting, professional solution.
Solution
A thorough inspection by our team revealed key vulnerabilities throughout the space, allowing us to design a targeted waterproofing strategy. At the core of this plan was the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which captures water at the wall-floor joint and redirects it away from the foundation. We paired it with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, a powerful and reliable system built to handle high volumes of water and prevent basement flooding under even the most demanding conditions. To address winter-specific challenges, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents frozen discharge pipes from causing water backups. We also installed EverLast Wall Panels to improve both the durability and appearance of the basement walls. These moisture-resistant panels offer protection against rot and mold while giving the space a clean, finished look. With this complete system in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, protected basement and renewed confidence in the long-term safety of their home.
