Photo Album: Leaky Basement Waterproofed in Oakland Gardens, Queens NY

A basement in Oakland Gardens, Queens had water seepage that was causing black mold. The owner of the property called Quality 1st Basement Systems and said that the musty smell was horrible and was wafting up to the upstairs as well. Basement specialist Keith MacFarlane came out to the property and suggested that the owner purchase a basement drain, a sump pump, and a dehumidifier. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard basement drain to catch and redirect water seepage. The water guard is an ideal waterproofing solution because it is installed internally, so it will not clog with mud. Then, to move the water out of the basement they installed a SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump sump pump has a closed lid to keep out debris and make sure musty, wet odors do not escape. Inside the sump pump there is a powerful motor that will keep the basement dry. Because the basement had a foul smell, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry is an energy efficient system. It removes water and impurities from the air, keeping the space fresh and healthy. The owner of the property noticed a change in the air in just a few days! Now this basement is dry and no longer has a musty odor.
