Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Carbon Armor Saves Toms River Basement

A Toms River homeowner called to ask if anything could be done about the cracked and bowing walls in his basement. Basement Specialist, Ken Peare, went out to inspect the property and much to the home owner's relief, Ken had the solution to the problem. Carbon Armor would secure the foundation and WaterGuard, Trench Drain, and a SuperSump would help prevent future water damage. CleanSpace Wall System and SaniDry were also installed and now the basement is safe and dry. This home was saved by Quality 1st Basement Systems!

Cracked and Bowing Walls

The homeowner was very worried about the cracked and bowing walls in his basement. The cracks and water marks are very evident in this picture and if left unattended, this could become a nightmare.

Carbon Armor & WaterGuard

Installing a WaterGuard System to drain water out of the basement, while preparing the wall for Carbon Armor was easy for the Quality 1st Basement Systems crew. It also costs much less than waterproofing a basement from the outside.

Bowing Basement Walls

After the Carbon Armor was installed to keep the walls intact and WaterGuard System is finished, we were ready to install a vapor barrier on the walls to maintain low levels of humidity but also to allow for the water behind the membrane to freely move down the basement walls.

Basement Sump Pump

Here is a great picture of our SuperSump sump pump that is being installed to pump the water out of the basement. Once the installation is completed, the sump pump will be flush with the floor and with proper annual maintenance it will work at peak performance!

Trench Drain Installed

Trench Drain is installed to catch any water coming down the stairs and drain it out of the basement. It is connected to the perimeter waterproofing system and pumped out by the sump pump that sits in the lowest spot of the basement.

Waterproofed Basement

The final product here is a basement that has been waterproofed and the its bowing walls are now being controlled and prevent further bowing. The CleanSpace Walling covers the wall and our WaterGuard french drain collects water that enters to insure the basement stays dry all the time. Behind the beautiful white anti-microbial vapor barrier are bowing walls that are being supported with CarbonArmor strips.
