Waterproofing Solution in Spotswood, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner in Spotswood, NJ was dealing with a constantly wet unfinished basement. Water seeped through the concrete foundation walls, causing dampness along the floor and up the walls, which worsened during heavy rainstorms. Previous attempts to address the water issues had been unsuccessful, and the standing moisture posed risks for mold growth, structural deterioration, and a generally unhealthy environment. Additionally, water pooling in low areas made the space unusable and increased the potential for long-term damage to the foundation.
Solution
To tackle the persistent water intrusion, our team installed a WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement walls. This system captures water as it enters, preventing it from reaching the basement floor. All captured water is directed into a newly installed SuperSump system, which pumps the water safely outside the home, keeping the basement dry even during heavy rains. By combining perimeter drainage with a high-capacity sump system, we addressed both surface and wall seepage, providing comprehensive protection. The result is a dry, safe, and structurally secure basement that is now protected from future water damage and can be used with confidence.
