Photo Album: Waterproof Basement Walls and Floors in Bedminster, NJ

A finished basement in Bedminster, NJ was getting wet during rain storms and the walls showed signs of mold damage. The homeowners used the space often and were concerned about their health and safety, so they called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate. Basement specialist Nick Biris visited the property and gave a written estimate on several products. The goal was to waterproof the living space, get rid of the musty smell, lower the humidity and fix the mold damaged walls.  EverLast wall restoration replaces the lower half basement walls. This makes them easy to install and cheaper than an entire wall restoration. EverLast is made out of durable materials that are inorganic. Organic walls like wood can rot, grow mold, or attract mildew. However, EverLast is waterproof, will never grow mold, and helps drain water out from the walls. A WaterGuard drainage system was installed along the basement floor perimeter. WaterGuard drains water from the wall and floor with its special flange design and redirects it to a sump pump. The patented design will never clog, and it lies safely inside of the home. Flood water will now travel from the WaterGuard basement drain to a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump is the most powerful sump pump on the residential market. It has three pumps to take water out of the house, a built in alarm system, and a battery back up. Even if the power goes out in the home, the TripleSafe battery back up will turn on and continue to pump water out of the house.  In order to keep the air dry and get rid of the musty basement smell, a SaniDry dehumidifer was installed. The SaniDry filters air, is energy efficient, and keeps common allergens such as dust out of the house. The floors were waterproofed with ThermalDry basement flooring. ThermalDry is an interlocking system of floor panels that are made out of inorganic, waterproof plastic. The basement flooring panels keep the floor warm, have a water drainage panel, and transform any basement floor into a fresh, modern looking space. Now this basement is waterproof, the musty smell is gone, and the homeowners feel safe with their living space!
