Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Wet Basement in Roseland, NJ

This Roseland, New Jersey house had a damp basement that got wet after every rainstorm. There was also a musty basement smell that they couldn't get rid of it. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on waterproofing products. A basement specialist inspected their space and suggested a WaterGuard drainage system, BrightWall basement wall panels, and an UltraSump sump pump. These products were the best solution for waterproofing the wet basement. WaterGuard drainage system has a patented flange system that lays against the wall and collects flood water from between the foundation and the floor. It sits on top of the footing on top of a bed of stones, where it is guarenteed not to clog with debris. After the WaterGuard basement drain is installed, it is covered with a layer of concrete, so it is invisible to the homeowner. WaterGuard collects rain water and drains it out to the UltraSump sump pump. The UltraSump sump pump has an airtight seal that keeps out debris, and has an emergency battery back up. If the water rises above a certain level, the UltraSump has a built in alarm that will ring and alert the homeowner. The UltraSump gives homeowners peace of mind, even during extreme weather. In order to keep drainage water from freezing, an IceGuard was installed onto the drainage line. IceGuard works automatically, and ensures that water will not freeze and block up the discharge line. For cold New Jersey weathers, IceGuard is a basement waterproofing must! BrightWall basement walling transforms the drab, unfinished basement walls to fresh white, clean space. BrightWall directs water seepage down to the WaterGuard in order to prevent water from seeping through the walls. BrightWall is durable and does not need to be painted or maintained. Now this basement is waterproof and will stay dry during rain storms! The homeowners are very happy with their new products and can now use the basement for storage.
