Wet Basement Solution In West Orange, NJ
Challenge
This West Orange, NJ homeowner had grown increasingly concerned about persistent water intrusion in their basement, a problem that had turned the space into a damp, musty, and uncomfortable environment. The moisture not only limited how the basement could be used, but it also raised concerns about mold, structural damage, and the overall health of the home. Wanting a permanent and professional solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help. After a detailed inspection, our team designed a comprehensive waterproofing plan tailored to the specific needs of the home.
Solution
To address water seepage at its source, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter of the basement. This innovative system is positioned just above the footing to avoid clogging and is engineered to capture both wall and floor seepage, redirecting it discreetly to the sump system. At the heart of the waterproofing setup, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, a high-performance unit equipped with three levels of pumping protection. Its primary and secondary pumps handle high water volumes, while a battery backup pump ensures continued operation during power outages, giving the homeowner full-time protection regardless of weather conditions. To complete the transformation, we installed EverLast Wall Panels, a durable, inorganic wall system designed specifically for basements. These panels not only resist mold, mildew, and moisture but also enhance the appearance of the space with a clean, finished look. By combining moisture control, drainage, and aesthetic improvement, we were able to turn this previously compromised basement into a dry, healthy, and functional living area.
