Concrete Lifting and Foundation Repairs in Florence. Expert Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Encapsulations

In Florence, NJ, a homeowner had an unfinished basement that was taking on water during heavier rain events. While the space was not yet finished, she wanted to be proactive and address the water issues now to avoid costly problems later once the basement was remodeled. Water was entering along the perimeter during storms, creating concern about future damage, moisture, and usability of the space. To fully waterproof the basement, we installed a WaterGuard interior drainage system to collect groundwater at the wall and floor joint and direct it safely to a new TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe provides multiple layers of protection, including backup pumping, to ensure the basement stays dry even during heavy rain or power issues. With the system in place, the homeowner now has a dry, protected basement and peace of mind moving forward with finishing plans.

When this Florence, NJ homeowner moved into their partially finished home two years ago, they quickly discovered water problems in the basement every time heavy rains rolled in. Water seeped in where the floor and wall met, and there were even signs of moisture pushing through the walls. Living with these issues left the homeowner worried that they might need an entire sump pump system to keep things dry. After meeting with our team, we designed a solution that targeted the problem areas. We installed WaterGuard along the perimeter to capture incoming water, paired with a SuperSump system to pump it safely out of the home. With this permanent waterproofing solution in place, the homeowner can finally enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement is protected from future storms.

Quality 1st Basement Systems received a call from a homeowner in Florence, NJ. The homeowner discovered their patio was sinking a few inches, creating an odd look for the home, so they needed to find a solution. Luckily, we were able to repair the patio using the Polylevel Injection Method. 

Unlike mudjacking, polylevel is not a mixture of concrete and mud but rather a foam made from structural graded polymers. It is waterproof, environmentally friendly, and takes fifteen minutes to recover. The installation process is less messy and easy to install.

After the installation process, the homeowner did not experience any other issues with their sidewalk again.

A Quality 1^st Basement Systems installation crew mobilized to Florence Township to fix the homeowner’s basement.  A full-perimeter WaterGuard, expertly manufactured to channel and direct any water seepage to the sump pump along with a newly installed TripleSafe Sump Pump System would efficiently and reliably remove water from the basement area.  The TripleSafe includes an efficient primary pump, a back-up pump (in case the first one fails or if there is a need for extra pumping power), and a third battery-operated pump (designed to kick in if the power goes out). IceGuards were installed on the discharge drains, too, to prevent a flood in the event that the lines freeze during the colder months. 

The homeowner’s concerns about having water seep into her basement area ended with the installation of the waterproofing products.  Quality 1^st Basement Systems was happy to help another customer resolve her basement water problem.
