Waterproofing Basement in Bethlehem, PA

Thursday, June 20th, 2024 by Amy Moore

Challenge

The foundation of a home sits below ground level, meaning it's surrounded by soil that is prone to saturation when there are heavy rains. This volume of water seeping into the ground around a home's basement puts heavy pressure against the foundation walls, making basements susceptible to some - or lots - of that water finding its way through the exterior. This kind of weakness is common for any home, but that doesn't make this kind of problem any easier on a homeowner. When this home in Bethlehem, PA was experiencing water build up in its basement, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st to help with a solution. Our team of experts was eager to help with installing a waterproofing system in the home to prevent any water damage.

Solution

Our System Design Specialist Brandon came to the house to inspect and diagnose the basement's water leaking issues. After being provided with a free quote, the homeowner gave our team the green light to move forward with the repair. Our Foreman Javier and crew were responsible with equipping this basement with a new and efficient waterproofing system that will keep the space dry and flood-free. WaterGuard Perimeter Drains were installed around the basement to channel leaking water beneath the flooring into the sump pump, which was also upgraded. Our SuperSump Sump Pump System was installed to replace the basement's old system, giving the basement a more powerful water removal process. TrenchLock Drain Inserts were also installed along some areas of the drain system where more water acceptance was needed, maximizing the effort of removing water from your basement floor and directing it into the sump pump. With these systems in pplace together, this basement has a brand new and highgly efficient waterproofing system working to keep the space dry.
