Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Pool House Basement Waterproofed in Adelphia, NJ

A homeowner in Adelphia, NJ had a small basement underneath his pool house that was getting wet. He had a sump pump, but it was not working well and he needed a solution that would keep his basement dry. Basement specialist Collin Peare came out to the pool house and suggested several waterproofing products to keep the space clean and dry, and capable of storing supplies. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard basement drainage system. WaterGuard is better than an outdoor French drain, which can clog with dirt and debris. Instead, WaterGuard is installed inside along the perimeter of the basement floor. It lays on a bed of stone, and then is covered with a layer of concrete. The basement drain gathers water from between the floor and wall and redirects it a sump pump. The homeowner was not happy with his sump pump, it did not pump out as much water as he wanted, it was noisy and had an odd smell. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump sump pump keeps basement dry with its powerful engine, capable of pumping 2,500 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. Its airtight lid keeps out dirt and odors. In order to make sure the line never clogged, an IceGuard anti-freeze system was installed on the sump pump discharge line. The IceGuard prevents water from freezing, so that ice does not clog the discharge line and cause flooding in the winter. To keep the walls waterproof, CleanSpace walling was installed. CleanSpace keeps out water vapor and moisture, and is made out of a thick vinyl. It will never grow mold because it is inorganic.  Now this pool house basement stays dry, no matter the weather! The homeowner loves using the space for storage and is glad he called Quality 1st Basement Systems.
