Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Drainage Solution In Matawan, NJ Basement

After multiple storms left their basement wet and unusable, a homeowner in Matawan, NJ knew it was time to take action. The ongoing water intrusion was caused by a lack of proper drainage support, allowing moisture to seep in along the floor and walls. Concerned about long-term damage and declining air quality, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable fix. After a thorough inspection, our team designed and installed a customized solution featuring our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. This innovative system is positioned along the interior perimeter to capture and redirect incoming water before it can enter the living space. Once in place, the WaterGuard system restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and safe condition, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a renewed sense of security in their home!

Weep Holes

Our crew drills weep holes at the base of the foundation walls before installing WaterGuard to allow any trapped water inside the block walls to drain into the system, preventing buildup, pressure, and potential wall damage.

During WaterGuard Install

To install our WaterGuard System, our crew began by removing a section of the basement floor along the perimeter, then excavated a shallow trench on top of the footing. We placed the WaterGuard drainage channel into the trench, ensuring it would collect seepage from both the walls and floor. Once secured, we backfilled the area with clean stone and finished by restoring the concrete floor for a clean, seamless appearance.

WaterGuard Drainage System

WaterGuard is designed to sit above the foundation footing, keeping it clear of dirt and debris while efficiently capturing wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement.

The Importance Of Proper Drainage

With its clog-resistant design and seamless integration with sump pump systems, WaterGuard provides long-lasting protection against flooding, moisture damage, and mold growth.
