Basement Waterproofing in Oxford, PA
Challenge
In Oxford, PA, a homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems with concerns about persistent dampness and a strong musty odor in their basement. These conditions were not only creating an unpleasant environment but also raising concerns about potential property damage and compromised indoor air quality. Our team responded quickly, scheduling a home inspection to assess the issue. One of our experienced System Design Specialists conducted a thorough evaluation and confirmed that water seepage was the root cause, affecting both the structure and livability of the space. The homeowner needed a permanent, reliable solution that addressed the moisture intrusion while improving overall air quality.
Solution
To fully resolve the issues, our team designed and installed a complete basement waterproofing system. The project began with the installation of the WaterGuard drainage system, strategically placed beneath the basement floor and along the perimeter walls to efficiently collect and redirect water away from the foundation. This system was paired with our TripleSafe sump pump, a powerful three-pump unit offering ultimate protection even during power outages or high water volumes. To tackle the humidity and odor, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, significantly improving the air quality by removing excess moisture and helping to prevent mold growth. For a clean and polished look, we finished the space with BrightWall panels, which not only brighten the basement but also help direct any wall moisture into the drainage system. The result was a dry, healthy, and revitalized basement that brought peace of mind and long-term protection to the homeowner.
