Addressing Basement Water Intrusion In Rockaway, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner in Rockaway, NJ had been battling persistent moisture issues in their basement, noticing damp floors, musty odors, and increasing concern over the potential for structural damage and mold growth. With the problem worsening after each rainfall, the homeowner decided it was time for a long-term solution and reached out to Quality 1st for expert help. Our team responded promptly with a full inspection, identifying key sources of water intrusion along the basement walls and floor.
Solution
Following our assessment, we designed a customized waterproofing plan to tackle the issue from every angle. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System around the interior perimeter to intercept wall and floor seepage and direct it toward the sump system. At exterior access points like basement stairwells, we added a TrenchDrain System to catch surface water before it could enter. To ensure reliable water removal, especially in high-volume or emergency scenarios, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which includes three pumps, one of which is battery-operated to keep the system running during power outages. To complete the solution and safeguard against winter-related complications, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which allows water to escape safely even if the exterior pipe becomes frozen or blocked. Together, these systems form a powerful defense against water intrusion. With the installation complete, the homeowner now has a dry, protected basement and the peace of mind that their home is safe from moisture-related damage for years to come!
