After dealing with a damp, musty basement, this homeowner from Short Hills, NJ decided it was time to put an end to the constant water intrusion that followed every heavy rain. They partnered with a basement waterproofing specialist who recommended WaterGuard, an interior drainage system designed to permanently solve basement water problems without the mess of outdoor excavation.
WaterGuard is installed just below the floor along the perimeter of the basement, directing water that seeps through walls or under the floor straight to a sump pump system. Unlike traditional French drains, it’s engineered to stay clog-free and includes a built-in wall flange to catch wall seepage.
Once installed, the homeowner noticed immediate results. The basement remained dry during the next big storm, and the musty smell disappeared. They were finally able to transform the space into a functional storage area; clean, dry, and worry-free. Thanks to WaterGuard, the homeowner protected their foundation and preserved the value of their home for years to come.
