Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Port Reading, NJ

A homeowner in Port Reading, New Jersey noticed they were experiencing damp spots in their basement. They reported their basement floor getting wet during heavy rainfall. This can happen because of backfilled soil around the home's foundation gets saturated during periods of rainfall. This saturated soil causes hydrostatic pressure and begins to push water and moisture into the basement. This can have many negative effects such as heating and cooling bills, smelly damp carpets, and even mold.  The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman, installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This sump pump has an airtight enclosed lid to keep moisture from entering the basement, and it also has three pumps in one sump liner. The third pump is a battery operated pump that kicks in if the power goes out. Next, the foreman installed the WaterGuard Drain System which sits on top of the footing to keep the wet dirt from getting into the drain. This drain system also catches water and drains it directly to the sump pump. Now, the homeowner has peace of mind knowing that their basement is protected from heavy rainfall. Then, the foreman installed the SaniDry Dehumidifier which will circulate the air in the basement to keep it dry. Lastly, the foreman installed the IceGuard which allows water to escape if the piper freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. The openings allow the water to escape easily through the openings.
