Complete Basement Restoration In Short Hills, NJ
Challenge
This Short Hills, NJ homeowner was struggling with consistent water seepage in their partially finished basement and feared that without proper reinforcement, they would be facing severe structural deterioration. After contacting our team of waterproofing experts, we were able to further educate the owner on the long-term effects of leaving your basement unprotected against water intrusions. For example, without the necessary fortification, this homes foundation was at risk for irreversible structural damage, as well as, raising concerns of potentially negative effects on the air quality of the overall home from consistent exposure to mold and mildew. Luckily, our team was happily prepared to tackle this waterproofing obstacle!
Solution
Following our recent communication with the owner, we sent out our talented system design specialist Frank, to survey the property to best conclude which products would be absolutely necessary in resolving these water seepage issues. Next our foreman Javier and his crew arrived at the home and began installing our heavy-duty WaterGuard French Drainage System, which is specially designed to be placed directly below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This ensures the drainage system stays out of the "mud zone", where drains are known to commonly clog with debris. Next the crew installed our powerful SuperSump Premier Pump System, this system was built to fully certify that your basement continues to remain dry and healthy for longer periods of time, even in cases of heavier water intrusions. The crew also installed our reinforcing EverLast Wall Restoration System. Installation of this system takes a fraction of the time compared to traditional wall restoration methods. We only remove the lower section of the damaged wall, replacing it with more durable materials. The wood-framed upper wall can’t absorb floor moisture, so it's entirely safe from future damage. To complete this total basement finishing process the crew installed our ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, which is made from 100% inorganic materials, making it completely waterproof and mold-resistant. No disputing, this basement is now entirely safeguarded against future water seepage, thanks to the reinforcing abilities of our impressive waterproofing products.
