Moisture Issues in Bear, DE
This homeowner in Bear, DE was experiencing water intrusion in their basement. Water seeps in during the heavy rain and creates a damp environment in the basement, creating mold. The homeowner knew they needed true professionals to waterproof their basement. They called Quality 1st Basements and System Design Specialist, Nick Pechickjian did a full inspection. He suggested WaterGuard to drain the water in the walls and drain it away from the foundation. Then he suggested a SuperSump Plus due to the severity of the water seepage. The Quality 1st Team also installed CleanSpace Walling to protect the basement from the moisture on the walls filtering into the air and creating more conditions for mold.
