Challenge

A couple in New Vernon, NJ were first time homeowners. They were very excited to settle into a place of their own and start building a life together. However, their basement was moist and the humidity was uncomfortably high. The couple knew that in the future they wanted to remodel the basement, but it was too damp and humid to use just yet. They needed to take some first steps in waterproofing the basement before they could start saving up for their dream finished basement. The couple called Quality 1st Basement Systems to help them.

Solution

Basement specialist Dan McNally visited the home and found damp basement walls and some moisture on the floor. He knew that waterproofing the area correctly was important if the couple planned to finish the basement. Step by step, he guided the couple through the installation process and explained how each product would help their basement. Quailty 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace vapor barrier on the damp basement walls. CleanSpace prevents leaks and since it is made out of inorganic material, it will never harbor mold growth. Keeping the basement safe and healthy is important for this couple!

To keep water moving out of the basement, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard basement drain. The basement drain collects moisture and carries it to a sump pump. The couple only wanted the best, so they invested in a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump has three pumps and a battery back up. What's great about the battery back up is in case the power goes out, the TripleSafe will keep on running and pumping out water. Now this couple is ready to stop worrying about their basement and start decorating their new home and enjoying living together! They are pleased with their waterproof basement and are already planning remodeling designs for the future.
