Targeting Drainage Concerns In Matawan, NJ Basement
Challenge
Ongoing basement moisture had become a serious concern for this Matawan, NJ homeowner. Their existing sump pump system was outdated and no longer capable of managing the high volume of water entering the space. As water continued to seep in, the risk of structural damage, mold growth, and poor air quality increased—prompting the homeowner to take action and reach out to Quality 1st for a reliable, long-term solution.
Solution
Our team conducted a thorough inspection to determine the exact source of the water intrusion. It was clear the sump pump alone wasn’t enough to manage groundwater pressure or surface runoff. To address this, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, engineered to sit just below the basement floor along the perimeter. Before installation, we drilled weep holes in the foundation walls to relieve hydrostatic pressure and allow water to flow directly into our WaterGuard System. After positioning the drainage channels, we backfilled with drainage stone and sealed the system with a fresh concrete finish, leaving the basement floor clean and intact. With the WaterGuard System in place, the basement is now fully protected from future water intrusion. It efficiently collects water from both the walls and floor and channels it directly to the sump pump, keeping the space consistently dry. Thanks to this professional waterproofing solution, the homeowner can now enjoy a healthier, safer basement, and complete peace of mind knowing their home is well protected from moisture damage.
