Basement Waterproofing Solution in Freehold, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner in Freehold, NJ contacted our team after discovering multiple vertical cracks along the interior basement walls. These cracks were allowing moisture to seep into the basement, creating persistent dampness along the walls. During heavy rains, additional water was entering through a window well, adding to the problem. Although the home had an existing sump pump, it was not filling up, indicating that water was not being properly collected or directed. The homeowner wanted to address the current moisture issues, prevent further damage, and explore options for a more comprehensive waterproofing system, including French drains and window well solutions.
Solution
After a full inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing system to address both the visible moisture and the underlying water entry points. We installed WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement to capture water entering through the foundation walls and floor and direct it safely to the sump system. To ensure reliable pumping and protection during heavy storms, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump system, providing multiple layers of defense. CleanSpace was then installed along the basement walls to act as a vapor barrier, helping to block moisture, brighten the space, and improve overall air quality. Together, these systems created a controlled drainage path, reduced humidity, and gave the homeowner peace of mind with a long-term waterproofing solution that can be expanded in the future to include window well drainage if needed.
