Addressing Water Intrusion In Somerset, NJ Basement
Challenge
Constant water intrusion had gradually taken a toll on a Somerset, NJ homeowner’s basement, turning what was once a functional space into a damp, deteriorating area. Over time, the moisture led to visible damage on the walls and floors, musty odors, and increasing concern about mold and air quality. With the situation only getting worse after each rainfall, the homeowner realized temporary fixes were no longer enough and sought a lasting, professional solution to protect their home and restore the basement’s condition.
Solution
After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a comprehensive inspection to assess the extent of the water issues and pinpoint the sources of intrusion. Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing strategy to directly address the home’s needs. We began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter of the basement, designed to intercept water before it reaches the floor. To ensure powerful and reliable water removal, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides triple-layer protection with a primary pump, secondary pump, and battery backup for emergencies. To enhance moisture control and improve the overall environment, we also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which serve as a vapor barrier to prevent wall seepage while brightening and refreshing the space. Finally, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, a vital component that allows water to safely exit the system even if the discharge line becomes frozen during winter. With this full waterproofing system in place, the basement was completely transformed into a clean, dry, and protected area, giving the homeowner renewed confidence and comfort in their home’s long-term health and safety.
