Eliminating Water Seepage In Middletown, NJ Crawl Space
Challenge
Years of reliance on an outdated sump pump had taken a toll on this Middletown, NJ homeowner’s crawl space. The system struggled to keep up with water intrusion, allowing moisture to collect and gradually transform the area into a damp, uncomfortable environment. With concerns about structural damage, musty odors, and potential mold growth, the homeowner knew it was time to seek out a long-term solution and turned to Quality 1st for expert help.
Solution
After conducting a detailed inspection, our team discovered that the aging sump pump was only part of the problem. Without an effective interior drainage system to guide water toward the pump, groundwater had easy access to the crawl space. To address this, we developed a comprehensive waterproofing plan starting with the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System. This patented system is placed just above the foundation footing to efficiently collect water from the walls and floor without becoming clogged by soil. It works seamlessly with the sump pump to keep the space dry from the ground up. We then installed our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, designed specifically for crawl spaces with its compact design, durable construction, and built-in alarm system to alert the homeowner of any issues. To complete the system, our crew added our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent flooding in case of frozen or blocked pipes during the colder months. With this robust, layered solution in place, the crawl space is now dry, protected, and far better equipped to handle the elements, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a healthier home environment!
