Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Fixing Water Seepage in Brooklyn, NY

A homeowner in Brooklyn, NY was getting water seepage in the basement, which was a cause for concern. She wanted 100% of the basement to stay dry 100% of the time. Basement waterproofing requires using the right products and methods in order for the solution to be permanent. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a basement drain, a sump pump, and vapor barrier in the basement. The WaterGuard basement drain is a patented design that will never clog. Other French drains sit in the mudzone so they clog up with tree roots, dirt, and muck. Our WaterGuard basement is installed internally on top of the footing on a bed of stones, away from outdoor debris. Then, the water is carried from the WaterGuard to the TripleSafe sump pump. What separates the TripleSafe sump pump from other pumps on the market is its three pump design. If one pump cannot keep up with the amount of water coming into the home, the second back-up pump will turn on to keep the basement dry. If the electricity fails, the battery back-up will switch on and continue keeping the home. Finally, the installation team added CleanSpace vapor barrier on the basement wall. CleanSpace vapor barrier keeps the walls safe of moisture and protects the basement against mold growth.
