Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing Transformation in Nutley, NJ

Our team at Quality 1st Basement Systems, led by Foreman Faustino, completed a basement waterproofing and restoration project in Nutley, NJ. After purchasing the home, the homeowner found that the existing brown plank flooring was uneven and bubbling and wanted a more dependable waterproofing solution. We removed the old flooring, installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard to direct groundwater to the existing sump system, and added an UltraSump battery backup for additional protection during power outages. We then finished the space with grey wall restoration and grey ThermalDry plank flooring. Unlike traditional flooring that can be vulnerable to moisture-related damage, ThermalDry is designed for basement use and made with inorganic materials that resist water damage. The finished project provides the homeowner with an updated basement and a waterproofing system designed to help manage groundwater.
