Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement in Staten Island Gets New Walls

Wet basements shouldn't be ignored! If a basement is damp and gets water into it, the problem will not fix it itself. This Staten Island, NY family knew that and they wanted to be sure their finished basement was dry and safe. They called Quality 1st Basement Systems in search of a waterproofing system. The drywall was damaged from moisture seeping in, so Quality 1st Basement Systems removed the water damaged portion of the walls. In its place, they installed EverLast basement wall panels. EverLast is a great solution for a homeowner on a budget because it can be installed on half of the wall. Replacing half of a wall is cheaper than replacing the entire wall, and often water damage is only on the bottom half. EverLast basement wall panels are made with inorganic, waterproof material so they will not become water damaged in the future. They are fully washable and easily cleaned, so if an excited child draws on them with crayon the walls can be washed down effortlessly. Along the perimeter of the basement, Quality 1st installed a WaterGuard basement drain. With the WaterGuard basement drain, this basement will stay dry. The basement drain collects water and drains it to a sump pump.  Now Staten Island has one less wet basement. The homeowners are thankful that they called Quality 1st Basement Systems!
