Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Mount Freedom Basement Gets BrightWall Transformation

Wet basement walls and floors, black patches of what could be mold, and damaged wood, had this Mount Freedom homeowner calling for help. He contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after a friend said they were the best. Quality 1st Basement Design Specialist, Jessica Long, went to Mount Freedom to investigate. She explained to the homeowner about hydrostatic pressure and how water seeps into porous concrete walls. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when the water outside the basement walls builds up and pushes into the basement. To waterproof the basement Jessica recommended the WaterGuard Drainage System and TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, would catch any water coming into the basement and direct it to the sump pump. TripleSafe is three sump pumps in one with a battery back up. To take care of the damp basement walls, Jessica recommended BrightWall, semi-rigid plastic panels that will direct any moisture coming through the walls into the WaterGuard Drainage System. Outside the home an IceGuard Discharge Line would keep the system working even during the coldest winter months. LawnScape would be installed to create a functionally decorative outlet for the moisture removed from the home. To deal with the high humidity this basement was experiencing a SaniDry dehumidifier would be installed. The Quality 1st installation crew arrived in Mount Freedom on time got right to work installing the waterproofing system. They left the basement clean and neat and the homeowner was very happy with his bright and waterproofed basement. Rainstorms no longer send this family running for mops and buckets because they called Quality 1st for complete basement waterproofing.
