Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Clog-Free Basement Drain in Carlstadt, NJ

A homeowner in Carlstadt, NJ had a wet basement and needed a basement drain and sump pump. After rains, water pooled on the floor and made the floors and walls damp. She called Quality 1st Basement Systems to install an internal basement drain and reliable sump pump to keep the space dry.  Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard basement drainage system. The WaterGuard basement drain system works better than outdoor French drains. French drains can clog with dirt and tree roots. A clogged drain will not work as good and may cause future flooding. Installation was easy and fast, the trench was dug out and the basement drain was installed on top of a bed of rocks. After installation the internal basement drain was covered with a layer of concrete and smoothed. The WaterGuard drains water to the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump is powerful. It has three pumps that work together to keep water constantly moving out of the basement. It is so powerful that it can pump out 2,200 gallons of water per hour! Now this basement is safe and dry. The homeowner loves that the basement drain is covered so she can add basement flooring on top of it.
