Waterproofing in Oradell, NJ

Challenge

A homeowner in Oradell, NJ was dealing with ongoing basement water intrusion and consistently high humidity levels. Water was entering through the walls, floors, and entry points during heavy rain, creating damp conditions and musty air that made the basement unreliable and uncomfortable to use.

Solution

The homeowner chose a complete basement waterproofing and moisture control system to address the issue at every level. WaterGuard perimeter drainage and WellDuct were installed to collect groundwater and wall seepage before it could reach the basement floor, while a TrenchDrain was added to manage surface water near entry points. A TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to reliably move water out of the basement, with IceGuard and LawnScape ensuring safe, year-round discharge away from the foundation. To finish the system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to control humidity, improve air quality, and create a dry, healthy basement the homeowner can now use with confidence year-round.

The TripleSafe sump pump system provides dependable protection with three levels of pumping power, including a battery backup. It keeps water moving out of the basement even during heavy storms or power outages.

WellDuct captures water leaking through basement walls and directs it into the drainage system before it can reach the floor, helping keep walls dry and protected.

The SaniDry Sedona efficiently removes excess moisture from the air, reducing humidity, musty odors, and the risk of mold while improving overall air quality.

The SaniDry dehumidifier filters out dust and mold from the basement.

TrenchDrain is designed to collect surface water at basement entry points like doors or stairways, preventing water from spilling onto the basement floor.

IceGuard prevents sump pump discharge lines from freezing or clogging during winter, allowing water to safely escape even in below-freezing temperatures.

LawnScape discreetly releases sump pump water away from the foundation, blending into the yard while preventing erosion and water from cycling back toward the home.
