Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Bordentown, NJ
Challenge
The homeowner had an unfinished basement with block walls and a concrete floor that often felt damp. Heavy rains brought water seepage at the base of the walls, and humidity levels stayed high enough to cause a persistent musty odor. Inspection also revealed early-stage inward bowing of some basement walls.
Our team identified:
-
Water seepage along the wall-floor joint
-
Elevated humidity due to trapped moisture
-
Minor but concerning foundation wall movement
Solution
The Solution:
-
WaterGuard Interior Drainage: Installed around the perimeter to capture and redirect seepage to the sump pump system.
-
TripleSafe Sump Pump: A three-pump system ensuring complete water removal, even during power outages.
-
CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement: Carbon fiber straps applied to foundation walls to prevent further inward movement.
-
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier: High-efficiency dehumidifier to control moisture levels and improve air quality.
The basement is now dry, structurally secure, and free from musty odors. With water properly managed and humidity under control, the homeowner can safely use the space without worry.
