Before & After Photos

If the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system is designed to be installed along basement walls, what happens when you get to an opening, like an exterior basement door entrance? As shown here, installed by foreman Juan Garcia and his crew for this customer in Clifton, NJ, a TrenchLock TrenchDrain is connected to the WaterGuard on both sides of the doorway (beneath the floor). Designed with a grated opening and a removable lid to clear debris, it provides a continuous pathway for the water to move to the sump pump.

Our Quality 1st Basement Systems service team provided annual maintenance for this homeowner in Clifton, New Jersey. Each year, our team will thoroughly clean and inspect the system. It's important to provide annual care for your sump pump system, so your home will be protected against water damage for years.

This homeowner in Clifton, New Jersey noticed their old and dirty sump pump was no longer able to keep up with their basement. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Anthony Guzzi provided a thorough inspection and suggested they replace their old sump pump. Our foreman Mario installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to replace the old one. TripleSafe has three levels of protection for the basement and provides peace of mind. This system has an airtight, enclosed lid to ensure no water vapor escapes into the basement air. Now, the homeowner no longer has an open pit in their basement, but they have a protective sump pump that will keep their basement dry and healthy!

In Ewing, NJ, a homeowner was facing a persistent challenge: a damp, occasionally flooded basement. This issue was starting to damage stored belongings and create an unsettling living environment. After assessing the situation, it was determined that excess water seepage was a result of poor foundation drainage. To rid the home of this headache, we recommended implementing our trusted waterproofing products: WaterGuard, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, and BrightWall panels. We installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system discreetly beneath the floor’s surface. This hidden shield serves effectively to steer any water from foundation wall seepage into the pathway towards the sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump then confidently took on the task of promptly expelling this water, regardless of volume, due to its robust three-part design. We also lined the basement walls with BrightWall panels, not only enhancing the room’s brightness but also directing all wall-based moisture into the drainage system.

A resident in Clifton, New Jersey was experiencing water coming into the basement through the walls. The water caused damage to the drywall where it needed to be removed to prevent mold growth.  Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Javier Hoyos Romero, suggested they replace the bottom half of the water-damaged walls. Our foreman, Wilver Cardoza, installed the EverLast Wall Restoration System. These walls are mold proof and waterproof and will not be ruined by a plumbing leak or high humidity.
