Before & After Photos

After enduring weeks of heavy rainfall, a Philadelphia, PA homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement, sagging support beams, uneven floors, and a growing sense of instability. Concerned that these were signs of foundation settlement, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted an extensive inspection and confirmed that water-saturated soil around the home had caused the foundation to shift, compromising the structural support within the basement.

To resolve the issue, we designed a targeted repair plan that addressed both the cause and the damage. We installed our RainChute Downspout Extension to direct rainwater away from the foundation, reducing soil saturation and preventing further settlement. To restore stability inside the home, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System beneath the weakened beams, precisely adjusting each jack to lift and reinforce the floor structure.

With the new systems in place, the basement is now fully stabilized, and the homeowner can enjoy renewed confidence in the safety and longevity of their home!

This basement had a lot of obstacles and a low ceiling. But we can still make it look nice. With size doors, painted ceiling, and insulated thermal flooring, we can transform a basement into a beautiful dry, and useable space.

In Philadelphia, PA, a homeowner began noticing increased moisture levels in their basement following heavy rainfall, leading to a damp and uncomfortable environment that raised concerns about potential mold and structural damage. Looking for a permanent fix, they contacted Quality 1st, and our team designed a custom waterproofing solution to address the issue at its source.

We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation, paired with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for powerful and reliable water removal. To further protect and brighten the space, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which help guide wall moisture into the drainage system while giving the basement a clean, finished look.

With these high-performance systems working together, we eliminated the moisture intrusion and restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and comfortable space, bringing the homeowner much-needed peace of mind!

Ongoing water intrusion had caused paint to chip from the basement walls of a Philadelphia, PA homeowner, raising serious concerns about mold growth and structural rot. Seeking a reliable, long-term solution, they turned to Quality 1st.

After conducting a thorough inspection to identify the sources of moisture, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to protect and preserve the home.

The solution included installing our SmartPipe Drainage System and TrenchDrain to effectively channel water away from the foundation, while the TripleSafe Sump Pump provided dependable, multi-level water removal even during heavy storms or power outages. To control humidity and improve air quality, we added our energy-efficient SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and sealed the basement walls with our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels. Together, these systems work seamlessly to maintain a dry, healthy basement, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind!

A recent project brought our team to a residential property in Philadelphia, PA, where the homeowners were facing significant issues with basement water intrusion. The problem was severe enough that water was seeping through the wall and floor at a back corner, coupled with noticeable sagging inside their newly finished basement. We chose to implement our trusted solutions by installing the WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and SmartJack systems. The WaterGuard system was placed discreetly below the surface around the perimeter, designed to channel seepage directly to the sump pump, preventing any future floor and wall water challenges. This innovative system counters issues akin to traditional French drains that often face clogging. Next, we installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, equipped with three layers of pump protection to manage any potential pump failures or high water demand. Through TripleSafe’s unique figure eight design, we offered reassurance that their home could withstand even the heaviest rains, without risk of a flooded basement. Moreover, to address the sagging concerns, we installed our SmartJack system. These galvanized steel columns provided the necessary support and leveling for the sagging bay of the house, ensuring stability and a reduction in floor bounce.
