Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Solution Keeps Rockaway, NJ Dry

A homeowner was looking for a new French drain to keep the basement safe and dry. Sometimes rain came in and flooded up to two inches in the basement. After searching the market, they found their local expert Quality 1st Basement Systems and called for a free estimate on basement waterproofing. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a basement drain and sump pump in this Rockaway, New Jersey home. The basement drain is designed to avoid clogging and flooding the home. It sits on top of the footing on a bed of stone, away from the mud zone where other French drains clog with mud and tree roots. Its special wall flange design collects moisture from between the floor and wall and redirects the moisture to the sump pump. The sump pump is installed inside of a plastic housing with an airtight lid. Its airtight lid prevents moisture from seeping out of the sump pump. With these waterproofing solutions, this home is now much safer and stays dry.
