Basement Waterproofing in Clifton, NJ

Friday, January 16th, 2026 by Sam Shaw

Challenge

The homeowner in Clifton, NJ was struggling with persistent basement moisture that made the space damp, uncomfortable, and unusable. Water intrusion along the walls and floor, combined with excess humidity, created an unfinished and uninviting environment. During heavy rains, the risk of water buildup and potential damage was a constant concern, preventing the homeowner from using the basement with confidence.

Solution

A comprehensive waterproofing and finishing system was installed to address the problem at its source. CleanSpace was added to seal out ground moisture and reduce humidity, while the WaterGuard interior drainage system captured leaks along the walls and floor and directed water safely away. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System provided dependable water removal with multiple layers of protection, even during heavy storms or power outages. To complete the transformation, EverLast Wall Panels were installed to create a clean, bright, and mold-resistant finished space. Together, these solutions resulted in a dry, comfortable basement that is protected long-term and ready for everyday use.

CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that seals out ground moisture and humid air, helping protect the basement from dampness, mold, and musty odors while creating a cleaner, healthier space.

The TripleSafe system provides three levels of protection, including backup pumps and a battery-powered option, to keep water moving out of the basement even during heavy storms or power outages.

WaterGuard is an interior drainage system designed to capture water at the wall and floor joint and safely direct it away before it can spread across the basement floor.

EverLast Wall Panels offer a bright, clean, and mold-resistant wall system that won't rot or warp, giving the basement a finished look while standing up to moisture for long-term durability.
