Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Damp Basement Transformed in Cookstown, NJ

A homeowner in Cookstown, NJ needed extra storage space. However, her basement was wet and had water seeping in. She wanted it sealed so she would no longer have to worry about wood rot and mold and so she could use it for storage. Quality 1st Basement Systems came out to the property and suggested several waterproofing products to keep it dry and transform it from a musty area to a bright storage space. First, the installation team added a WaterGuard basement drain. The WaterGuard sits on the inside of the basement, where it will not clog with outdoor debris. Its patented design collects water and transfers it to a sump pump. The SuperSump sump pump carries the water out of the home. These two products keep water seepage out of the basement, making sure it is dry. In order to use the space as a storage area, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls and floor. CleanSpace is waterproof and has a built in freshener to keep it smelling nice and clean. Now the basement is used for storage and the homeowner no longer worries about water seepage!
