Ever since Superstorm Sandy in 2012, this Totowa, NJ homeowner had water in his basement. It was coming from between the floor and walls and was making his basement wet and humid. The basement used to be partially finished but since the flooding, the water made it a damp mess. The humidity was high, water was constantly on the floor, and the homeowner was tired of having a wet basement.
Quality 1st Basement Systems stopped the dampness and flooding by installing a basement drain and a sump pump. The installation team dug out space for a full perimeter basement drain. The basement drain takes moisture and floodwater from between the floor and wall and drains it to a sump pump. Previously, the homeowner was using a small wet vacuum to carry water to the basement sink, but it wasn't working the way the homeowner planned and was noisy. The TripleSafe sump pump installed has three pumps that are designed to work together to keep up with a large amount of floodwater. With the basement drain and sump pump, this basement will make a comeback and stay dry. The homeowner is looking forward to turning the partially finished basement into what it used to be, before Superstorm Sandy flooded it.
