Basement Waterproofing in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
Challenge
In Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with a recurring and frustrating issue: water intrusion in their unfinished basement after every heavy rainstorm. What could have been a valuable, functional part of their home was repeatedly turned into a damp, unusable space. Tired of temporary fixes and growing concerns about long-term damage and indoor air quality, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems in search of a permanent and reliable waterproofing solution.
Following their inquiry, we scheduled a home inspection. One of our experienced System Design Specialists, Justin, performed a full evaluation of the basement, diagnosing the source of the water issues and mapping out a strategic plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.
Solution
With a solid game plan in place, our production crew, led by our foreman, Miguel, set out to transform the basement with a multi-layered waterproofing system.
The first step was the installation of our WaterGuard system, a below-floor perimeter drainage solution designed to stay out of sight while effectively capturing any water seepage from the walls or floor joints. Positioned at the base of the foundation, it channels incoming water directly to the sump pump, preventing it from ever reaching the basement floor.
To handle water expulsion with maximum efficiency, our team installed the TripleSafe sump pump system. This cutting-edge setup features three levels of pumping power, including a battery backup unit to ensure uninterrupted protection during power outages. Whether it's a heavy storm or unforeseen system failure, TripleSafe is built to handle it all, giving the homeowner peace of mind through every season.
To round out the solution, we applied our CleanSpace vapor barrier to the basement walls. Not only does it create a clean, bright appearance, but it also provides critical moisture protection, preventing mold, mildew, and further water-related issues from developing.
