Challenge

A homeowner in Glen Ridge, NJ was experiencing persistent water and moisture problems in their basement. These issues were affecting the overall condition of the space and raised concerns about potential damage, poor air quality, and long-term reliability. To find a permanent solution, the homeowner chose to move forward with a comprehensive basement waterproofing system.

Solution

To address water intrusion, a WaterGuard interior drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the basement to collect seepage from the walls and floor and direct it safely to the sump system. A TrenchDrain was also installed to capture surface water and prevent it from spreading across the basement floor. For dependable flood protection, a TripleSafe sump pump system was added, offering three levels of pumping power to handle heavy rain and unexpected failures. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed along the basement walls to seal out moisture and musty odors, creating a brighter and healthier environment. To further improve air quality and control humidity, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed. The basement window area was upgraded with a SunHouse window well, which helps prevent leaks while allowing natural light to enter the space.

With the full waterproofing system in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and well-protected basement. The water and moisture issues have been resolved, providing lasting peace of mind and a basement space that is clean, comfortable, and ready for everyday use.
