Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproof Basement Drain, Sump Pump, and Walls in Pequannock, NJ

A Pequannock, New Jersey homeowner had a damp, musty smelling basement. She wanted to make sure the basement would be safe during rainstorms, and to make sure that it would not flood. She called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on basement waterproofing. Basement specialist Kenny Tramutola suggested several waterproofing products to make her basement safe and dry. A new WaterGuard drainage system was installed, which will drain out water from the floor and wall. The water will then be carried to a sump pump, where it will be pumped away from the house. The WaterGuard drainage system is a patented French drain that is installed inside of the house. It has a wall flange to collect flood water from the wall, and prevents humidity from entering. Because the WaterGuard drain sits on top of the foundation, it will not allow mud or debris into it, so it will never clog. To pump the water out of the house, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed. The TripleSafe sump pump is a revolutionary design. It has three pumps, a built in alarm system, and a battery back up. In case the power goes out during a storm, the battery back up will turn on and continue to pump water at 11,000 gallons per hour on one fully charged battery. The TripleSafe sump pump is the best residential sump pump on the market, and gives homeowners peace of mind and safety. With an air tight lid, pests and debris will stay out of the sump pump, and it will never clog with mud. CleanSpace wall finishing will now keep the basement walls dry and looking attractive. CleanSpace is made out of heavy duty plastic, that does not need to be painted, will never grow mold, and does not rot. CleanSpace basement wall finishing forces all seepage and moisture to drain down into the basement drainage system. In order to keep the humidity low, a SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. The SaniDry will not only keep the basement air dry, it gets rid of musty smells and filters out common allergens such as dust mites and mold spores. All of these waterproofing products work together to create a dry basement that will stay safe for years to come. Now this homeowner no longer has a damp basement and does not worry during storms!
