Eradicating Water Intrusion In Linwood, NJ Basement
Challenge
Continuous water intrusion had become a serious issue for a homeowner in Linwood, NJ. Each heavy rain brought more water into the basement, creating puddles and dampness that not only made the space unusable but also raised concerns about long-term damage. The homeowner worried about the risk of mold growth and wood rot, both of which could compromise their home’s structure and indoor air quality. Eager to find a permanent solution, they reached out to Quality 1st for help.
Solution
Following a thorough inspection of the basement, our team identified key areas where water was entering and assessed how it was impacting the space. We developed a custom waterproofing strategy that included the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, specifically designed to capture water at the most vulnerable points along the wall-floor joint. To handle the collected water, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection, including a battery backup pump to ensure continuous operation during power outages. To complete the waterproofing system and guard against freezing conditions, we also added our IceGuard Discharge Line. This essential feature allows water to discharge from the system even if the exterior line becomes frozen or blocked. With these powerful systems in place, the homeowner’s basement is now fully protected from future water intrusion. They can enjoy peace of mind knowing their home is safe, dry, and shielded from moisture-related damage for years to come!
