Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing and Dehumidifier Installation in Corona, Queens

This Corona, Queens homeowner had water in their basement during the winter after heavy storms. The basement had a wet smell and high humidity. Wanting to protect their basement from potential water damage, they called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate on how to keep their basement safe. Basement specialist Nick Biris inspected the basement and suggested a basement encapsulation system, a dehumidifier, a drainage system, and a new sump pump. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace walling - a water vapor encapsulation system. CleanSpace is made out of durable plastic that will not rip or tear and keeps water vapor out of the basement, and the room dry. CleanSpace encapsulation system helps keep the realtive humidity down, which improves air quality. In order to keep the air dry, a new SaniDry dehumidifier was installed. SaniDry filters out dust mite dropping and mold spores from the air. This keeps common allergens out, fixes musty basement smells, and keeps the relative humidity down.  In order to best waterproof the basement, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard redirects water away from where the floor meets the foundation towards a sump pump. WaterGuard has a patented design that will not clog with dirt or debris. A new TripleSafe sump pump will pump the water safely away from the house. The TripleSafe sump pump is the best sump pump on the market, because it has three reliable pumps. It has a battery back up, so if the power goes out during the storm the battery back up pump will turn on and continue to pump water out. Now this basement is ready for any weather and the relative humidity will stay low and dry!
