• 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. • A-1 Basement Solutions French drain has a Google rating of 4.9 Stars based on 41 reviews (3/7/16). • Life-of-House warranty. • Honest contractors as seen on “The Today Show” • Certified Waterproofing Specialist Company. • EPA Certified Lead Safe Company. • Certified Mold Inspectors. • Member company Basement Health Association.
