Resolving Damp Basement Issues In Philadelphia, PA
Challenge
Water intrusion had become a persistent issue for a Philadelphia, PA homeowner, with visible signs like peeling paint on the basement walls raising serious concerns about mold growth and potential structural rot. Tired of temporary fixes and worried about long-term damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent waterproofing solution that would protect their home and restore peace of mind.
Solution
After conducting a thorough inspection, our team developed a comprehensive waterproofing plan tailored to the specific conditions of the basement. We began by installing the SmartPipe Drainage System to effectively capture groundwater and direct it away from the foundation. To manage surface water at key entry points, we added our TrenchDrain System. For complete water removal, even during heavy storms or power outages, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, providing three layers of reliable protection. To further improve the basement environment, we installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which helps control humidity levels and prevents mold growth. Our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to seal and protect the basement walls, enhancing both appearance and durability. Together, these systems work in unison to keep the basement dry, clean, and healthy, ensuring the homeowner can enjoy a moisture-free space with lasting confidence in their home’s protection!
