Before & After Photos

A basement in Scotch Plains, NJ, had more water seepage than the previously installed sump pump could handle. We came out and installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, along with a new french drain to help alleviate the water issues. The WaterGuard French Drain System collects water and directs it to the TripleSafe nearby. With this installation in place, this basement is sure to stay dry for years to come!

Recently in Absecon, NJ, we had the privilege of assisting a homeowner who was facing a collection of concerns regarding their home's sustainability and safety. The call came to us after the homeowner noticed some shifting in their home’s foundation, comprised primarily of cinder blocks, as well as urgent needs for waterproofing and outside insulation. We proposed a tailored solution using CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and our SmartJack system. The CleanSpace liner was to be installed in the crawl space to provide a solid water vapor barrier, preventing future moisture or water damage. SilverGlo insulation panels were placed to enhance energy efficiency. To the pressing issue of the home’s shifting foundation, we deployed our SmartJack system, providing solid support to stabilize and potentially lift the foundation to its original position. 

This homeowner had a concrete slab in their backyard that was beginning to crack. In order  to keep the concrete from shifting, our polylevel team sealed the cracks with NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.

A homeowner in South River was unhappy with his wet basement. It seemed that he was constantly struggling with basement flooding, which made it difficult to leave belongings in the basement. He called Quality 1st Basement Systems and a crew installed the CleanSpace Wall System. CleanSpace is a plastic liner that is fitted to walls and creates a seal that prevents water and outside air from entering. It is durable and a great choice for stone walls! Now this basement is dry and the homeowner couldn't be happier!

A homeowner in South River, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering water seeping into their basement. The issue was inspected by our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini, and the best solution for the homeowner was waterproofing their basement. Our crew installed the WaterGuard French Drain System and Triple Safe Sump Pump. As you can see in the before photo, our team began to create the channel for the WaterGuard system to be installed above the footing of the foudnation. The after photo shows the team in the process of covering the WAterGuard system with stone and cement now that the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier has been installed to the walls.
