Basement Waterproofing in Fanwood, NJ

Tuesday, January 6th, 2026 by Sam Shaw

Challenge

After experiencing ongoing water intrusion around basement windows and persistent moisture problems, a homeowner in Fanwood, NJ sought a permanent solution to protect their basement. Water entering through the window wells and foundation was creating damp conditions and raising concerns about long-term damage, prompting the need for a comprehensive waterproofing approach.

Solution

The project began with the installation of WellDuct window well drainage, designed to capture water at the window wells and redirect it safely away from the foundation. To further protect the windows, SunHouse window well enclosures were added to shield them from rain, snow, and debris while still allowing natural light into the basement. Inside the basement, a TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to provide reliable, multi-layer protection and continued operation during heavy rain events and power outages.

To complete the system, CleanSpace wall covering was added to seal out moisture and create a clean, controlled basement environment. IceGuard discharge protection was also installed to ensure water can safely exit the sump system even if discharge lines freeze during winter conditions. With all components working together, the basement was transformed into a dry, healthier, and worry-free space the homeowner can rely on year-round.

WellDuct is designed to collect water that accumulates in window wells and direct it into the home's drainage system. By relieving pressure at the foundation, it helps prevent leaks and water damage around basement windows.

SunHouse is a clear, durable cover that fits over window wells to keep out rain, snow, leaves, and debris. It also allows natural light into the basement while protecting the window and well from water intrusion.

TripleSafe provides three levels of pumping protection in one system, including a battery backup pump. It ensures reliable water removal during heavy rain and continues to operate even during power outages.

CleanSpace is a moisture-resistant wall covering that seals basement walls and blocks water vapor from entering the space. It helps create a cleaner, brighter, and more controlled basement environment.

IceGuard is installed on sump pump discharge lines to prevent backups caused by frozen or clogged pipes. It allows water to escape safely, ensuring continued protection during freezing winter conditions.
