Common Basement Problem Signs

It’s crucial to recognize and identify basement issues, such as leaky pipes, pooling in the basement cove, and damp walls and floors. These problems often signal underlying problems that can cause extensive structural damage to your home. Addressing these concerns is vital for maintaining a safe, dry living space. Contact an expert for a free inspection to ensure the well-being of your New Jersey residence.

What Causes Basement Moisture Problems?

Numerous elements can lead to an unhealthy basement environment, such as hydrostatic pressure, soil shifts, plumbing issues, water seepage through foundation slab cracks, elevated humidity, and insufficient insulation. Ineffective gutter systems, downspouts, and improper landscape grading further exacerbate groundwater buildup around the foundation. Addressing basement cracks, improving drainage, and ensuring adequate ventilation and insulation are essential to safeguarding a secure, dry, and healthful home environment.

Common Causes of Basement Water Problems

Determining whether basement waterproofing is necessary for your New Jersey home can be complex. Contact a repair specialist for a free basement inspection for personalized recommendations tailored to your home’s needs.

Groundworks implements patented waterproofing methods to deliver a basement solution perfectly suited to your home’s needs.

Sump Pump Systems

Groundworks utilizes submersible sump pump systems to manage basement water. These pump systems are activated by a float mechanism and are placed in a basin at the home’s lowest point. These address rising water caused by rainfall or snowmelt by directing water through interconnected pipes to secure outdoor locations. Sump pumps are vital in defending against water intrusion.

Sump pumps automatically remove excess water from basements. This act stops floods, protects belongings, and improves indoor air quality by preventing mold growth. When necessary, we add interior drainage systems to guide water away from areas that could cause harm. This comprehensive approach safeguards your home from flooding and water damage.

AquaStop FreezeGuard™

Our AquaStop FreezeGuard™ boosts sump pump dependability by offering backup for the exterior discharge line, preventing basement flooding and sump pump failure. As a safety measure, it permits water to exit through strategically positioned holes, preventing basement overflow, preserving sump pump operation, and activating during freezing temperatures. This basement waterproofing solution ensures a reliable discharge line, particularly valuable in cold climates and during emergencies.

AquaStop BasementGutter™ Interior Drain System

The AquaStop BasementGutter™ Interior Drain System offers a reliable solution for water infiltration issues. This clog-free French drain system collects moisture from basement walls and the wall-floor joint. It addresses humidity concerns and prevents pooling by redirecting rainwater and snowmelt through pipes that strategically trap water at vulnerable points, guiding it to the sump pump for removal. This action results in a consistently dry and healthy basement.

Homeowners can trust the high-quality performance of our patented interior drainage system to protect their New Jersey homes from water damage. A reliable warranty and year-round maintenance is available for Groundworks’ BasementGutter™.

Jason and the entire Select team were outstanding from the original quote process to completion of the project. Communication was excellent and the team on site was amazing. Completed a big project in 2 days, did some additional work at no cost, and left the basement spotless at the end if the work. Follow up by Jason was also outstanding. I highly recommend Select Basement Waterproofing.

Select did a fantastic job on site. The crew arrived on time, patiently went over all concerns with me and explained the job to me including the estimated time of completion. They also gave some friendly advice on things to look out for and left the place clean as if they were never there. Definitely recommend them for any basement waterproofing needs.
