Wet Basement With Bowing Walls in Keyport, NJ
Challenge
This homeowner in Keyport, NJ had an unfinished cinderblock basement with vertical cracks in the foundation. Moisture was seeping in, creating damp conditions and contributing to a musty odor and possible mold growth.
Our evaluation found:
-
Vertical cracking in the cinderblock walls
-
Water intrusion through wall pores and at the wall-floor joint
-
Dampness contributing to poor indoor air quality
Solution
The Solution:
-
WaterGuard Interior Drainage: Perimeter system to capture and redirect incoming water.
-
SuperSump Pump System: Reliable, high-capacity pump to keep the basement dry.
-
CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcement: Carbon fiber straps to stabilize vertical cracks and prevent movement.
The homeowner now has a secure, waterproofed basement with walls reinforced against future damage. The space is dry, safe, and better for long-term use.
