Before & After Photos

When a homeowner in Mahwah, NJ began experiencing persistent moisture issues in their basement, the damp conditions quickly spread discomfort throughout the home. The presence of excess humidity raised serious concerns about the potential for wood rot, mold growth, and long-term structural damage. Seeking a permanent and effective solution, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for expert guidance.

Our team conducted a extensive inspection to assess the source and scope of the water intrusion, allowing us to create a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

To fully address the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter to collect and direct water away from the basement floor. At the heart of the system, we placed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to ensure reliable and efficient water removal during peak conditions. To further protect the space and prevent wall moisture, we lined the foundation walls with our CleanSpace Wall Panels, a durable, vapor-resistant barrier that not only stops moisture infiltration but also enhances the overall appearance of the basement.

With these high-performance systems working in unison, the basement has been transformed into a dry, healthy, and fully protected environment, offering the homeowner long-term peace of mind!

This homeowner from Mahwah, NJ was facing moisture in their crawl space. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended a comprehensive waterproofing solution to protect it from future water intrusion.

StarPipe was installed around the perimeter of the crawl space to direct any groundwater away from the foundation. Drainage Matting was laid down across the floor of the crawl space to eliminate any standing water. SilverGlo was installed on the walls to insulate while remaining energy efficient. SmartJacks were applied under any beams that had weakened from the moisture, being adjusted to the height of the crawl space for stability. Finally, CleanSpace was used to encapsulate the crawl space, sealing out moisture, humidity, and odors.

The homeowner now has peace of mind that their home is protected. 

This Forked River home had water coming in through the crawl space. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems to waterproof their house so they could safely sell it. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace transforms damp crawl spaces by creating a barrier between the crawl space and moisture. It is made out of durable, thick plastic which locks out water and keeps any crawl space safe and dry. Now this house is ready to be sold with its newly dry, mold resistent basement.

After heavy downpours of rain, water would come up through the floor of this basement in Forked River, NJ. Large puddles would form, causing the basement to become cold, damp and musty. Quality 1st Basement Systems fully waterproofed the basement, keeping it dry and healthy!

A homeowner in Lacey Township, New Jersey noticed a crack in one of their basement walls. After doing some research online, they came across a before and after from the Quality 1st Basements website of a foundation with similar cracks. Looking no further they called right away for an estimate. A the time of the estimate, the Foundation Repair Specialist did a full evaluation of the basement and noticed two smaller staircase cracks along with the visible crack the homeowners first noticed. 

the Foundation Repair Specialist recommend CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System. CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution for cracking foundation walls. CarbonArmor are strips made from a fiber reinforced polymer that is 10 times stronger than steel. The straps are attached to the wall and secured with heavy duty steel brackets. The straps will stabilize the wall and begin to pull it back to its original position. This system installs quickly and will prevent future problems.
