Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Sump Pump Installation in Norwood, NJ

A new homeowner purchased a new house in Norwood, NJ that was perfect except for one detail: the finished basement got wet. The homeowner loved the property so he didn't want to lose it, but he needed to make sure that the beautifully finished space stayed dry and safe so he called Quality 1st Basement Systems to help. Basement inspector Mike Bonfante noticed that the sump pump was very old, clogged, and didn't pump well. He suggested installing an internal basement drain system and a new sump pump. These products would work together to drain out water seepage and keep the basement dry and safe from damage. The installation team removed the old sump pump and installed a SuperSump sump pump in its place. The SuperSump has a strong airtight lid to keep out mositure and debris, preventing harsh odors and blockage. It has a cast-iron motor that is capable of pumping up to 2280 gallons of water per hour. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard basement drain along the perimeter of the walls. WaterGuard will not clog with external debris and keeps water seepage moving to the sump pump. Now this basement will stay dry and the homeowner can enjoy his new house!
