Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

An Ewing, NJ homeowner noticed water was seeping into their basement, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. When waterproofing the basement you need to install a channel for water to flow from the ground or wall to the sump pump. We installed the WaterGuard French Drain to help collect and direct the water. WaterGuard is installed above the footing of the foundation to prevent clogging and damage. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed the WaterGuard French Drain for this basement in Ewing, NJ. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement, collecting water at every angle. It's also installed above the footing of the foundation to easily collect water seepage without clogging of mud. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems resolved a water issue a South River, NJ homeowner was experiencing. We waterproofed the basement and one component of the system installed was the WaterGuard French Drain. WaterGuard is installed above the footing the home foundation. Water collects in the French drain and directs it straight to the sump pump system. 

To properly waterproof a basement, it starts with a trusted French drain channel. WaterGuard is installed above the footing to this homes foundation which is considered out of the mud-zone. This prevents clogging and allows the water to flow easily into the sump pump pit. As you can see, the after picture shows the WaterGuard system in the channel before the concrete is pored over to secure it in place. the lid top on the right is to safely flood test the system in the future to ensure its functioning properly. 

 WaterGuard French Drain was the first system installed in this Plymouth Meeting, PA home when we began the process of a full perimeter waterproofing system. WaterGuard collects water seeping in from the foundation walls and up from the floor. The water is captured inside and directed straight into the sump pump pit, keeping the basement dry and healthy.
