Damp Bloomfield Basement Repaired

Challenge

This Bloomfield home suffered with a wet basement. The results of the basement flooding was a damp, unsightly basement. The walls showed signs of water damage from moisture seeping through the porous concrete walls, and the homeowner constantly worried about the next time his basement flooded. He contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to discuss his options for repairing his basement walls and waterproofing the basement.

Solution

The Quality 1st Basement Systems team installed a CleanSpace Liner, which is a vapor barrier system that protects basements from outside elements that may enter through porous concrete walls. It is made up of multiple layers of waterproof plastic, which prevents mold growth. The CleanSpace Liner is thick and durable, making it difficult to tear or ruin. This encapsulation system keeps unwanted moisture from seeping in and easily clings to concrete walls! The CleanSpace Liner also improves the appearance of unfinished basements by creating a clean, bright look.

The Quality 1st Basement Systems crew also installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to keep water flowing out of the basement. The TripleSafe sump pump system is heavy-duty and efficient, with three individual pumps to ensure that basement flooding is never an issue again. This system even comes with a back-up battery that runs automatically if a power outage occurs. The TripleSafe sump pump system keeps basements dry by pushing water out and away from the home's foundation. Now this homeowner has a clean, dry basement that he can easily use for storage without fear of basement flooding!
