Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Moldy Basement Fixed in Plainfield, NJ

A family in Plainfield, NJ had water coming into their basement between the walls and floors in several areas. They had a sump pump, but it was not pumping out the water properly. After rain, they noticed some mold spores and they were worried about the mold getting worse. Concerned about the family health, they called Quality 1st Basement Systems to waterproof the area and keep mold out for good! A WaterGuard basement drain was installed in the basement along the floor to collect rain water. The internal basement drain will never clog with dirt or debris. After installation, it is covered with a layer of concrete. In order to pump out the water, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed an UltraSump and a SuperSump sump pump. Both sump pumps have a cast-iron engine and a long-lasting battery back up. The airtight lids keep out blockage and make sure odors don't escape. The SuperSump sump pump can pump out to 2,200 gallons of water per hour out of the basement and away from the house. With the battery back up, the sump pumps will turn on even when the power goes out, making sure the basement stays dry. To keep humidity and water vapor out, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace walling. CleanSpace is a plastic vapor barrier that keeps moisture off of the walls and out of the basement. This will prevent mold because mold needs humidity to grow. Keeping the basement dry will keep mold away. The inorganic vinyl material will never grow mold spores because mold only grows on organic surfaces. Now this basement is waterproof and the homeowners are happy with their healthy and safe basement!
