Tackling Basement Seepage In Rising Sun, MD
Challenge
In Rising Sun, MD, a homeowner grew increasingly overwhelmed by persistent water seepage in their basement. This issue had been ongoing for some time, with the water entering the basement during periods of heavy rainfall. The root of the problem was an old, underperforming sump pump that could no longer handle the large volume of water that accumulated. As a result, the basement was frequently damp and vulnerable to water damage. Seeking a lasting solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st to address the issue once and for all.
Solution
Our team quickly assessed the situation and devised a comprehensive waterproofing solution tailored to the homeowner’s needs. We began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement. This system is designed to capture and divert water before it can reach the floor, ensuring that the basement remains dry. Next, we installed our TrenchDrain along the exterior entryways, which helps to manage surface water, preventing it from flowing into the basement. To tackle the sump pump issue, we replaced the old system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which features three pumps to provide extra capacity and reliability, even during heavy storms. Additionally, we added an IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing during the winter months, ensuring that water could continue to be discharged safely, regardless of the weather. To further protect the basement from excess moisture, we installed a high-powered SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This dehumidifier works efficiently to maintain optimal humidity levels, preventing mold growth and improving indoor air quality. With these state-of-the-art systems in place, the homeowner’s basement was fully transformed into a dry, healthy, and welcoming space. Now, the homeowner enjoys peace of mind knowing their basement is protected from water damage for years to come.
