Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Hightstown, NJ Basement

Black mold was growing on the walls of this basement in Hightstown, New Jersey. A musty, nasty odor was coming up from the basement and drifting into the rest of the home. The homeowner was concerned and wanted a solution. Quality 1st Basement Systems had the products and the solution for this problem. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a basement drain, a sump pump, and moisture barrier on the walls. CleanSpace vapor barrier prevents moisture from coming into the basement through the cinderblock walls. Since CleanSpace vapor barrier is made with inorganic materials, it will not grow mold or mildew and will keep the basement healthier. Along the perimeter of the basement, the crew installed a drainage system. The specialized drain collects water from between the floor and walls and drains it to a sump pump. Since the drain was installed internally, it won't clog up with dirt or tree roots. Water travels to the sump pump and then is pumped out of the basement, away from the home. All these waterproofing products work in conjunction to make this basement safer and dry.
