This homeowner in Springfield, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was damp and attracting moisture. This can have many negative effects such as rotting wood, aggravated allergies, increased energy bills, and even mold growth! They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini provided a thorough inspection and suggested they seal the crawl space from the earth's elements. Our foreman Esau began installing our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which is a thick and durable liner that will prevent moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space. CleanSpace is waterproof and mold-proof and will keep the crawl space dry and healthy. When the job was complete, the homeowner was satisfied with the results, and they did not experience any moisture in their crawl space. 

A homeowner in Springfield, NJ had a finished basement that was starting to show signs of water seepage after a day or two of rain. They needed a solution and wanted to hire a waterproofing professional to ensure the job was done correctly. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent System Design Specialist, Mike PettyJohn, out to perform a full inspection and provide a permanent solution. Water was seeping through the foundation wall causing damage to the wood paneling. Our team installed our WaterGuard French Drain System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and IceGuard Discharge Line. A full perimeter waterproofing system will create a dry and healthy space under your home by stopping water and moisture from causing damage. 

What started as small cracks and damp corners soon turned into a major concern for a homeowner in Springfield, NJ. They began noticing visible signs of foundation settlement, such as bowing walls and widening cracks, paired with rising moisture levels throughout the basement. These warning signs raised red flags about the structural integrity of the home and the potential for long-term damage. Wanting to protect their investment and avoid future complications like mold growth or water damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a lasting, professional solution.

After performing a detailed inspection, our team developed a customized repair plan targeting both structural and waterproofing issues. To reinforce the bowing walls, we installed our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, which uses strong carbon fiber straps to permanently stabilize the foundation without the need for excavation. For water management, we placed the WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter and a TrenchDrain at key entry points to collect and redirect intruding water. We also addressed leaking window wells with our Window WellDuct System and completed the solution with the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard Discharge Line for reliable year-round water removal.

The combined result was a dry, stable, and secure basement, offering the homeowner renewed peace of mind and long-term protection for their home.
