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!

A homeowner in Scotch Plains, NJ was dealing with the serious effects of foundation settlement and basement water seepage caused by shifting soils and ongoing moisture intrusion. Cracking walls and a damp, musty environment raised concerns about long-term damage and safety. Looking for a reliable, permanent fix, they contacted Quality 1st to assess the situation and provide a tailored solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team designed a dynamic repair and waterproofing plan. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation and direct it to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for fast, efficient removal. To ensure year-round protection, we added an IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent backups during freezing temperatures. For structural reinforcement, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, using high-strength carbon fiber straps to stabilize bowing walls and stop further movement.

With these advanced systems in place, the basement is now dry, stable, and protected 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. 

In Absecon, NJ, a homeowner faced the troublesome issues of moisture and humidity in their crawl space. The excess moisture had led to musty odors and the threat of mold, compromising the air quality throughout their home. Our experienced production team embarked on the task with precision and care. We installed the StarPipe drainage system to effectively guide any shifting water towards our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, ensuring efficient water extraction and reliability from potential power outages or system failures. To encapsulate the crawl space and lock out moisture, we laid down the robust CleanSpace liner, significantly outperforming usual vapor barriers with its mold-resistant and UV-stable features. To complement the encapsulation, SilverGlo wall insulation was integrated to boost energy efficiency and control moisture ingress. Concluding the job, we powered up the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, acclaimed for its efficiency in reducing humidity and obliterating mold threats.

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.
