Photo Album: Moldy Basement Fixed in Park Ridge, NJ

A water heater in this Park Ridge, NJ basement exploded and flooded the area. The basement was moldy, wet, had a musty odor and had water damage. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on how to waterproof his basement and keep it safe! Basement specialist Maurice Robinson inspected the property and suggested several waterproofing products to keep the finished basement mold free. The mold only affected the bottom half of the basement walls, so Quality 1st Basement Systems removed the drywall. They installed EverLast basement wall restoration panels, which are made out of inorganic materials that will not grow mold or mildew. EverLast has built in insulation to keep the basement warm and comfortable, and helps drain water moisture from the walls to a basement drain. It is stronger than drywall, and is easily cleaned. In order to keep water moving out of the basement, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SuperSump basement sump pump. The sump pump has a powerful motor and a battery back up that will keep the area safe from flooding.
