Is water infiltrating your foundation, causing flooding and an unhealthy basement environment? Standing water in a home's basement can lead to mold growth and various water-related issues that homeowners wish to avoid. This basement in Linden, NJ was experiencing water accumulation during heavy rains. Quality 1st provided a waterproofing solution that gave the homeowner peace of mind and prevented the recurrence of this problem. We installed WaterGuard Perimeter Drains in the basement to redirect leaking water into a new sump pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump, featuring three pumps and three levels of protection, ensures that the basement remains free from flooding. The collaboration of these systems significantly enhanced the basement’s condition, facilitating a dry and healthy environment for the future.
