Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement with a Bowing Walls in Perth Amboy, NJ
A homeowner in Perth Amboy, NJ was experiencing foundation and water concerns in the basement of her home. The basement walls had begun to bow inward causing serious foundation issues. Every time it rained, water would seep through the foundation walls, creating a cold and damp environment. Since the washer and dryer would located in the basement, the homeowner wanted to fix the problem to have a more comfortable area to do laundry. She needed a company to provide a solution right away and so she contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems.
Our Quality 1st crew went out to the job site and installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump with the WaterGuard and the Carbon Armor Wall Reinforcing system. The WaterGuard drainage system and the TripleSafe Sump Pump work together to keep water out of the basement. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a reliable and valuable resource in your home. It can discharge up to 11,500 gallons of water on a single charge with the battery back up on to completely waterproof the basement. To stabilize the bowing walls, Carbon Armor which is a super strong strip that is used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls, is installed. It is the same technology used by the U.S. Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers and aerospace engineers to reinforce bomb shelters, skyscrapers and bridges so it's very strong and reliable. Quality 1st was able to provide a solution for both the foundation and water concerns, leaving the homeowner relieved that their home was now healthy and stabilized.
