Eradicating Water Intrusion In Howell, NJ Basement

Thursday, June 12th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Signs of mold growth and early structural decay alerted a Howell, NJ homeowner that their basement moisture issue was more than a minor inconvenience, it was a serious threat to their home’s integrity and health. Water seepage had become a regular problem, and with each passing storm, the damage worsened. Seeking a reliable, long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for expert help and a customized approach to protecting their home.

Solution

Following a extensive inspection, our team pinpointed the sources of water intrusion and crafted a waterproofing plan tailored to the specific layout and conditions of the basement. Central to the solution was the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which was placed along the perimeter of the basement floor to collect water at its point of entry. This system discreetly channels moisture away from the foundation, preventing it from ever reaching the basement interior. To complete the system, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, an advanced unit featuring three levels of protection, including a battery backup to ensure operation during power outages. Together, WaterGuard and TripleSafe work seamlessly to keep the basement dry, even during the heaviest rains. Once the installation was complete, the transformation was undeniable. The once damp and mold-prone basement was now a clean, dry, and healthy space, giving the homeowner renewed confidence and peace of mind for years to come!

We installed the WaterGuard Drainage System by excavating the perimeter of the basement floor and placing the system just above the footing to capture wall and floor seepage. We then connected it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which was installed in a newly dug sump pit to efficiently collect and discharge water.

Our crew installed the WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water seeping through the basement walls and floor, preventing moisture buildup and protecting the foundation from long-term damage.

TripleSafe was added to ensure powerful, reliable water removal, even during heavy rains or power outages, offering the homeowner year-round basement protection.
