Plumbing Leaks
Two big problems that present themselves within the home are two kinds of plumbing leaks. When water heaters get old and fail, they can leak and destroy your finished basement. Washing machine hoses also can break under constant pressure and flood your basement as easily as the biggest storm. Get rid of your wet basement permanently and protect from plumbing leaks.
For water heater leaks, Basement Systems provides the FloodRing. A solution so that when your water heater finally fails, the water will be redirected by the ring that encircles your water heater and put into your sump pump. Two of the sections of the FloodRing will be adhered to the floor with a special epoxy that will ensure a perfect, watertight seal.
Washing machine hoses are a huge flood hazard for homeowners. Best practice is to always shut off your water supply to the washing machine and avoid the problem altogether. But we all forget to do these things from time to time, and as washing machine hoses are not built to withstand the pressure that the water places upon them constantly. FloodCheck Hoses from South Jersey Dry Basements are built to withstand this pressure.
Once your plumbing is secure, you can consider finishing your basement - starting with finishing your basement walls. If you have any questions or would like to know more about making your basement waterproofing complete, please contact South Jersey Dry Basements today.
