Challenge

After years of dealing with damp odors and recurring water intrusion, this homeowner from Fanwood, NJ knew their basement needed more than a temporary fix. Concerned about long-term damage and limited usability, they sought a permanent waterproofing solution that would protect their home in all conditions.

Solution

A comprehensive system was installed, beginning with the TripleSafe sump pump to provide dependable water removal during heavy rain and to ensure continued protection even during power outages. To address moisture in the air and eliminate persistent musty smells, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added, creating a drier, healthier environment throughout the basement. IceGuard was installed on the discharge line to prevent winter freezing issues and maintain proper drainage during cold weather. Along the perimeter of the basement, the WaterGuard interior drainage system was placed to capture water seepage from the walls and floor and redirect it safely to the sump system.

To complete the transformation, EverLast Wall Panels were installed, giving the basement a clean, bright appearance with durable, mold-resistant materials. With these solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, comfortable basement and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their space is protected and ready for storage, hobbies, or future living use.

WaterGuard captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. Installed discreetly along the perimeter, it channels water directly to the sump pump for reliable, below-floor waterproofing protection.

The TripleSafe system provides powerful, dependable protection against basement flooding with three levels of pumping capability. Even during heavy rain or power outages, it automatically adjusts to keep water moving out and away from the home.

The SaniDry Sedona keeps basement air dry, clean, and comfortable by removing excess moisture and filtering out dust, mold spores, and odors. It's an energy-efficient way to maintain healthy air and prevent musty smells.

IceGuard ensures sump pump discharge lines continue working during freezing winter conditions. If the line becomes blocked by ice or snow, IceGuard safely redirects water away from the foundation to prevent backups and flooding.

EverLast Wall Panels provide a clean, bright, and durable basement finish that won't support mold or mildew growth. Unlike drywall, they're waterproof and easy to maintain, giving basements a long-lasting, attractive look.
