Photo Album: Humid Basement Waterproofed in Cambria Heights, Queens NY

A homeowner in Cambria Heights, Queens NY called Quality 1st Basement Systems to waterproof his basement. The basement had a packed dirt floor that often got moist and caused the air to be humid and musty. The homeowner said the area used to be dry, but it was progressively getting worse. Quality 1st Basement Systems laid down drainage matting across the dirt floor to create a barrier between the floor and the basement. Then they installed CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls. CleanSpace keeps moisture and water vapor out. It redirects water seepage to the basement drain and prevents humidity from coming in through the concrete walls. CleanSpace is made out of a durable plastic that will not snag or tear. It is made out of inorganic so it will not grow mold or rot, and brightens up any unfinished basement. To keep the air dry, the installation team added a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry dehumidifier removes moisture, dust mites, and mold spores from the air. Now this basement is dry and the musty odor is gone!
