This homeowner from Rockaway, NJ noticed a damp, musty smell coming from their crawl space. Concerned about potential mold and long-term damage, they reached out to Quality 1st Basements for help. The System Design Specialist came up with a solution of Drainage Matting and CleanSpace. First, the drainage matting was laid down to create a path for water to flow to the sump pump, preventing pooling under the home. Then, the CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed over the walls and floor, completely sealing the crawl space from moisture and outside air. The results were immediate, no more musty odors, noticeably better air quality, and a dry, clean space beneath the house. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their home is protected from mold, rot, and costly foundation issues.

Eliminating Water Intrusion In Rockaway, NJ Basement
Due to ongoing basement moisture and musty odors, a Rockaway, NJ homeowner grew increasingly concerned about the risk of structural decay and mold growth threatening their home. Realizing the issue was more than a nuisance, they contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution.
Our team conducted a detailed inspection and quickly identified multiple sources of water intrusion, including seepage through the foundation walls and at surface-level entry points. With these insights, we developed a comprehensive and customized waterproofing plan to tackle the issue at its source.
Our solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement’s perimeter to capture wall and floor seepage and redirect it before it could cause damage. To address surface water at entry points like stairways or doors, we added a TrenchDrain System for targeted protection. At the heart of the system, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, offering three levels of pumping power, including a battery backup, for consistent performance during storms or power outages. Finally, our IceGuard Discharge Line was connected to ensure water could exit the system even in freezing conditions.
With this multi-layered solution in place, the basement is now dry, secure, and protected year-round, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind and confidence in the health of their home!

New Basement Windows with Rockwell Installed in Warren, NJ
This homeowner had a leaky window and barely any sunlight coming into the basement. Not only was the basement dark but it was cold and wet from the water coming through. Quality 1st Basement Systems replaced the old window and installed a Egress Rockwell with a Sunhouse Shallow Dome lid. By replacing the window, water will no longer be able to come through, keeping the basement dry. Quality 1st was able to allow more natural lighting into the basement and provide the homeowner with an emergency egress to allow a safer exit for anyone living in the basement.
