Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Interior Basement Drain in Rocky Hill, NJ
A homeonwer in Rocky Hill, NJ had multiple problems in his finished basement. Water was coming in from between the floor and wall at one corner of the basement. To his horror, mold had begun to grow and as much as he tried to dry the walls it kept growing. The air was humid, moist and uncomfortable. He needed the damaged drywall removed and the basement waterproofed, so he called Quality 1st Basement Systems.
Quality 1st Basement Systems removed the mold damaged portion of the drywall and installed a WaterGuard basement drain along the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard interior basement drain will keep the basement dry by collecting water between the floor and wall and draining it to a sump pump. What makes an interior basement drain the best solution is that it will never clog. Outdoor French drains clog with dirt, tree roots, and mud. To pump the water out of the home, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SuperSump sump pump. The homeowner loved the SuperSump because it had an airtight lid as opposed to an open pit design. Open sump pumps can get clogged, give off musty odors and are an eyesore. To remove the moisture from the air they installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry also removes mold spores from the air, keeping it healthy. Now this basement is dry and no longer gets wet. The homeowner is thankful that the mold is gone and will no longer grow!
