Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Mahwah Basement Now Dry with WaterGuard

A homeowner in Mahwah was tired of dealing with a basement full of puddles, but when dark spots started showing up in the corners she worried about mold. She called Quality 1st Basement Systems to see what could be done. John Schweitzer, a Quality 1st Basement Systems Specialist, inspected the basement. Since the water was getting into the basement in several different places, John recommended a complete waterproofing system and explained to the homeowner how it would keep the basement dry. Foreman, Jesus Alvarez-Sanchez, and the Quality 1st crew arrived on time and installed the WaterGuard Drainage System, SuperSump Sump Pump with UltraSump back up. The CleanSpace Wall System went up on the walls which were seeping moisture. Outside the house they installed IceGuard to prevent the system from freezing and LawnScape to direct the water away from the home. Now this Mahwah basement is dry and the homeowner recommends everyone use Quality 1st Basement Systems!

Wet Basement Floor

Puddles form on the floor of this wet Mahwah Basement. This homeowner needed our help badly!

Damp Basement

Damp places in the basement need to be fixed or they will get worse.

Old Sump Pump & Stagnant Water

Stagnant water lays in this old fashioned sump pump and even though this looks like a neat and clean installation, this sump pit is not only counterproductive, but also dangerous. Pets and kids have been know to get stuck in open sump pits such as this one. Also, the stagnant water evaporates over time and increases the moisture levels in this basement.

Water Stains on Basement Floor

Water stains by the back door tell us a TrenchDrain is needed here.

Old Basement Sump Pump

This old sump pump didn't stop water from puddling around the room.

Basement Waterproofing in Mahway, NJ

WaterGuard can be installed even over and around those odd basement floors.

Old Basement Sump Pump Location

The old sump pump was in a bad location. We filled the pit back up and our WaterGuard installs around the corner.

TrenchDrain

A TrenchDrain is installed to catch any water coming down the basement steps.

WaterGuard Corners

WaterGuard installs easily around corners.

TrenchDrain Installed

TrenchDrains are installed around the furnace and water heater to ensure the area will stay dry.

Installation of WaterGuard Drainage System

WaterGuard can be installed even in odd shaped and narrow basements.

TrenchDrain Installation

Installing a TrenchDrain across the door is the best way to catch the water coming into the basement from stairs.

Basement Waterproofing System

WaterGuard installs neatly by the wall to keep the basement dry. Any water that enters the basement by seeping through the basement walls and the floor will be guided to the sump pump and pumped out of the basement.

Basement Perimeter Waterproofing

Our WaterGuard system installs around the perimeter of the basement once the fresh concrete dries, it is almost impossible to see that we installed our basement waterproofing system.

WaterGuard & CleanSpace

The CleanSpace Wall and WaterGuard Drainage system will work together to keep the basement dry all the time!

IceGuard & LawnScape

IceGuard is installed on the side of the home and water will be directed to the LawnScape outlet. Here you can clearly see how hard our installers work on keeping the area clean.

IceGuard

The IceGuard Discharge line will go in along this wall.

Before Discharge Line

IceGuard will be installed here and even though the stone foundation was a problem, check out the next picture to see how we were able to work around the big rocks.

IceGuard Discharge Line Installed

After installation of the IceGuard discharge line, it will keep the system from freezing in cold temperatures and making sure that your basement stays dry all the time.

LawnScape

After installation LawnScape is an attractive outlet for the pump. It is virtually impossible to see where the discharge line is and once the grass grows back to how it looked before the installation, you would never know we were here.

TrenchDrains

Once installed the TrenchDrains will catch any leaks from the water heater.

SuperSump Basement Sump Pump Installed

The SuperSump sump pump is installed. This fully covered unit makes the basement safe for children and pets and also reduces moisture levels in the basement as the lid actually seals the sump pit.
