Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Wall Vapor Barrier in Jackson Heights, Queens
A homeowner in Jackson Heights, Queens noticed water leaking into the basement from between the floor and cinderblock walls. Outside the home, he also noticed a sinking slab that needed to be lifted. He needed to keep water vapor and moisture out of the basement and fix the concrete, so he called Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free estimate.
The installation team installed waterproof CleanSpace walling in the basement. CleanSpace walling is made out of inorganic plastic that will not grow mold and keeps water vapor and moisture out. The system redirects water seepage to the WaterGuard basement drain. The WaterGuard basement drain was installed inside of the basement along the perimeter of the wall. What makes the WaterGuard basement drain perfect for this home is its patented system that will never clog. Because it is installed internally, it does not clog with mud or tree roots. The water then travels to the UltraSump sump pump and is drained out of the home. In order to lift the concrete, Quality 1st Basement Systems injected PolyLEVEL underneath the sinking slab, raising it back up into place. Now this basement is waterproof and the concrete is even!
