Before & After Photos

This customer was looking to upgrade their old and outdated sump pump to our new SuperSump.  

In this basement, the walls began to leak into the home, which then caused moisture in the area. Our team went out to the home, dug a trench around the floor of the foundation to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drain that will capture any moisture or water leaks down into the drain and carry it to the sump system. Then we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that will capture the leaky walls' moisture down into the sub-floor drain. These products will help reduce moisture and prevent any water leaks from coming into the basement.

At this home, rainwater would collect at the opening of the garage and had no place to go. We installed our XL TrenchDrain system that will capture the water coming down the driveway and flow it into the WaterGuard sub-floor system. The drainage system is then connected to the sump pump, which will safely pump away unwanted water. 

After enduring weeks of heavy rainfall, a Philadelphia, PA homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement, sagging support beams, uneven floors, and a growing sense of instability. Concerned that these were signs of foundation settlement, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted an extensive inspection and confirmed that water-saturated soil around the home had caused the foundation to shift, compromising the structural support within the basement.

To resolve the issue, we designed a targeted repair plan that addressed both the cause and the damage. We installed our RainChute Downspout Extension to direct rainwater away from the foundation, reducing soil saturation and preventing further settlement. To restore stability inside the home, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System beneath the weakened beams, precisely adjusting each jack to lift and reinforce the floor structure.

With the new systems in place, the basement is now fully stabilized, and the homeowner can enjoy renewed confidence in the safety and longevity of their home!

This basement had a lot of obstacles and a low ceiling. But we can still make it look nice. With size doors, painted ceiling, and insulated thermal flooring, we can transform a basement into a beautiful dry, and useable space.
