Before & After Photos

After multiple seasons of battling a wet basement, a homeowner in Somerset, NJ decided it was time to take action. Water intrusion had become a persistent problem, leaving behind damp walls, musty odors, and visible wear throughout the space. The once-usable basement was becoming increasingly uninviting and unhealthy, prompting the homeowner to contact Quality 1st for a long-term fix. Understanding the importance of addressing both the symptoms and the source of the issue, our team performed a detailed inspection to uncover exactly where the moisture was entering and how best to stop it.

Based on our findings, we created a customized waterproofing system tailored to the home’s needs. First, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System around the basement perimeter to collect and channel incoming water before it could spread across the floor. To efficiently remove that water, we added our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, offering triple protection and backup in case of heavy flooding or power outages. We also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to act as a moisture barrier and direct wall seepage into the drainage system while improving the basement’s overall appearance. Lastly, we included our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure the system remains functional during freezing temperatures.

With these solutions in place, the basement was fully restored into a dry, protected, and healthier space, bringing lasting peace of mind to the homeowner!

In Somerset, NJ, a homeowner began noticing increased levels of moisture around their basement, raising concerns about potential water damage and long-term structural impact. The issue had been ongoing, largely due to the absence of a reliable drainage system capable of handling water during heavy rains or rising groundwater levels. Seeking a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and quickly identified the source of the moisture. Based on our findings, we designed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

The solution included the installation of our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three levels of protection to ensure the basement stays dry under all conditions, normal water flow, pump failure, and power outages. To further safeguard the system during colder months, we also installed our IceGuard Discharge Line, which allows water to escape even if the exterior discharge line freezes. Together, these advanced systems now work in unison to protect the basement from future water intrusion. The homeowner can now enjoy a dry, healthy basement and complete peace of mind, knowing their home is protected year-round!
