Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Resolving Iron Ochre Issues In Glen Mills, PA Basement

This Glen Mills, PA, homeowner was deeply concerned about ongoing water seepage in their basement, which had started to result in the growth of iron ochre—an unsightly and potentially damaging iron bacteria. After contacting Quality 1st, our team quickly assessed the situation and recommended the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. Once the system was in place, it efficiently captured and redirected water away from the basement, eliminating the source of moisture and preventing further moisture-related issues!

Iron Ochre

Iron ochre is caused by the presence of iron bacteria in water, which thrive in damp, oxygen-deprived environments like basements and crawl spaces. As these bacteria feed on iron, they produce a sticky, rust-colored sludge that can clog drains and damage plumbing, making moisture control crucial to prevent this issue.
