Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Musty Wet Basement Gets New Drain in Hollis, Queens NY

A homeowner in Hollis, Queens NY had a wet, musty basement. The musty smell was unbearable, and they wanted it fixed! Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a WaterGuard basement drain along the perimeter of the basement. External drains can clog with tree roots, mud, and silt but the WaterGuard is different. It is installed internally on a bed of rocks, its patented design will never clog. The WaterGuard collects water and drains it to a sump pump. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe sump pump to move water out of the home. The TripleSafe sump pump is powerful. It has three pumps, a battery back up, and an alarm system. Even if the power goes out, the TripleSafe will keep pumping water out. Musty odors are kept out of the sump pump with its airtight lid. The installation team added a SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry removes water and impurities from the air. It takes out dust mites, mold spores and common household allergens. Now, the homeowner notes that the musty smell has gone away and the air is breathable and fresh! The basement stays dry during rains and the TripleSafe works reliably.
