Eliminating Moisture Intrusion In Newark, NJ
Challenge
Water seepage had become a serious concern for a Newark, NJ homeowner as cracks in the foundation walls and a lack of proper drainage support began allowing moisture to enter the basement. The increasing presence of water raised red flags about potential structural damage, rot, and unhealthy mold growth. With these risks looming and hurricane season approaching, the homeowner knew it was time to take proactive measures and reached out to Quality 1st for a professional solution.
Solution
Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection to determine the exact source of the water intrusion. It became clear that the combination of hydrostatic pressure and inadequate drainage infrastructure was driving moisture through foundation wall cracks and along the basement floor. Based on our findings, we designed a customized waterproofing system tailored to the unique needs of the home. The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively capture and redirect incoming water, as well as Drainage Matting to aid in channeling moisture beneath the floor surface. To further protect the space, we installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to ensure reliable water removal, even during heavy storms. For added defense and visual improvement, BrightWall Panels were placed along the basement walls to direct any wall seepage into the drainage system while giving the area a clean, finished appearance. This dynamic waterproofing system now provides the homeowner with lasting protection and peace of mind, ensuring their basement remains dry, healthy, and ready to withstand future weather challenges.
