Basement Water Seepage In Pilesgrove, NJ

Monday, November 4th, 2024 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

A homeowner in Pilesgrove, NJ, noticed water seeping into their basement each time it rained heavily, leaving small puddles along the walls and damp areas on the floor. Worried that the constant moisture could lead to mold growth, musty odors, and potential damage to their belongings, they realized they needed a permanent solution to keep the basement dry and prevent these issues from escalating.

Solution

To solve the water seepage issues, our System Design Specialist, David, inspected the home and identified the best approach. Our foreman and crew installed our WaterGuard French Drainage System below the basement floor to guide any water directly to the sump pump. We added our SuperSump Pump System, a high-performance pump designed to keep the basement protected during heavy rainfall. For moisture control, they installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, a mold-resistant liner that blocks out any water vapor from passing through. To address foundation settlement and stabilize the walls, we installed our durable PowerBrace Wall Repair System. With these solutions in place, the basement is now dry, secure, and perfect for storage!

Project Summary

Products Installed: WaterGuard French Drain System, SuperSump Pump System, CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, PowerBrace Wall Repair System

A damp basement will only cause negative effects such as rotting wood, mold growth, and musty smells.

During the installation of WaterGuard, our crew digs a trench around the perimeter of the basement to keep the system out of the mud zone and prevent clogging.
