Basement Waterproofing in Sussex, NJ

Challenge

A homeowner in Sussex, NJ was experiencing ongoing basement moisture that made the space damp, uncomfortable, and unreliable for storage or use. Water intrusion during heavy rains raised concerns about long-term damage and the need for a permanent solution rather than temporary fixes.

Solution

To fully protect the basement, a comprehensive waterproofing system was installed to manage moisture from all entry points. CleanSpace was applied along the basement walls to create a clean, moisture-resistant barrier that helps control water vapor and wall seepage. At the wall–floor joint, the WaterGuard interior drainage system was installed to capture incoming water and channel it safely away before it could spread across the basement floor.

A TripleSafe sump pump system was added to provide dependable pumping power, including backup protection in the event of heavy rainfall or power outages. To ensure year-round reliability, IceGuard was installed on the discharge line to prevent freezing or blockages during cold weather. Outside the home, LawnScape was used to safely direct water away from the foundation without disrupting the landscape.

With the complete waterproofing system in place, the basement is now dry, protected, and functional year-round. The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their basement is safeguarded against moisture, even during severe weather conditions.

CleanSpace lines the basement walls with a durable, moisture-resistant barrier that helps keep water vapor and dampness out of the space. It creates a clean, bright appearance while directing any wall seepage down into the drainage system.

WaterGuard is installed along the perimeter of the basement to capture water at the wall-floor joint before it enters the living space. This interior drainage system keeps water moving safely toward the sump pump without clogging.

The TripleSafe system provides three levels of pumping protection, including a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery backup. This ensures reliable basement protection even during heavy storms or power outages.

IceGuard prevents sump pump discharge lines from freezing or becoming blocked. If the line clogs, water is safely released through the IceGuard openings, protecting the basement from backup flooding.

LawnScape directs sump pump discharge water away from the foundation and safely out into the yard. Its low-profile design blends into landscaping while ensuring proper drainage away from the home.
