Description:
At A-1 Basement Solutions we make basements dry & healthy to give homeowners peace of mind, even during a power outage. We stand behind our work with a Life-Of-House Guarantee.
We first help you understand why you have a basement water problem because
basement water makes me sad. Is the source of the basement water from a plumbing leak or from below ground seepage? Is your basement water coming in through the walls or floor, or both?
Negative side waterproofing:
• Applying paint, concrete sealer or a membrane on the inner side of the basement wall.
• As a basement water fix this method almost always fails.
• Positive side waterproofing:
• If you ask your landscaper to diagnose the causes of basement water seepage, they will most likely recommend exterior waterproofing.
• They will excavate to reveal the foundation walls then an asphalt-based seal is applied.
• The soil fill is returned after the project is done.
• This expensive type of work damages landscaping such as shrubs, walkways and patios and usually has a 1 year warranty.
• Interior French drains:
• The French drain system uses a mechanical sump pump to remove basement water.
• The basement water enters the sump pit from the French drain and the sump pumppumps it up and out of the basement.
• A-1 Basement Solutions give a Life-of-House Warranty against basement water for all French drains
• Will you get a real French drain or not?
• Most NJ basement waterproofing contractors say they install a French drain, but not all basement water systems are the same.
• There are so called French drain basement systems that are used by a select few contractors that sit on top of the footing and are very shallow.
• These select shallow basement systems have no trench and are on the same level as the basement floor.
• A real French drain has a deep trench.
• The inside perimeter of the floor is cut approximately one foot from the wall. A trench is excavated and pitched.
• To discharge the water a submersible .5 HP sump pump is installed in a covered polyethylene liner.
• Where possible, the lowest course of block is tapped and bled (weep holes) in order to drain the walls.
• Fully slotted polyethylene drainage pipe is installed and covered with gravel.
• The basement floor is re-cemented to its original level.
