Before & After Photos

In Maplewood, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us with concerns about their existing sump pump system, especially in the case of power outages. We recommended the WaterGuard system combined with the TripleSafe sump pump as a powerful solution. The WaterGuard sub-floor system acts as a durable channel around the basement perimeter, effectively capturing any seepage before it reaches the basement floor. By directing water into the sump system, it partners perfectly with the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe offers triple protection: it handles high water volume with its primary pump, activates a secondary pump for high-demand situations, and features an UltraSump battery back-up pump to keep running during power outages.

After struggling with ongoing water intrusion and increasing moisture levels in their basement, a Maplewood, NJ homeowner decided it was time to find a permanent solution. They reached out to Quality 1st, where our team conducted a thorough inspection to understand the full scope of the problem. Using the information gathered, we crafted a customized waterproofing plan designed specifically for the home’s unique needs, ensuring every potential source of water and moisture was addressed.

The solution combined several advanced systems for total basement protection. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively channel water away from the foundation, while CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to protect the basement walls from lingering moisture. To safeguard against flooding, we implemented our dependable TripleSafe Sump Pump, featuring multiple backups for maximum reliability. Finally, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain clean, dry air year-round. With these systems working in harmony, the basement was transformed into a dry, healthy, and worry-free space, giving the homeowner the peace of mind they had been seeking for so long!

After years of dealing with a damp, musty crawl space that made their home feel humid and uncomfortable, this homeowner from Maplewood, NJ decided to take action and have the area professionally waterproofed. The solution included a CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a powerful combination for keeping moisture under control.

The CleanSpace liner now seals the crawl space from the earth, preventing water vapor and musty odors from rising into the home. Behind it, SilverGlo insulation panels help regulate temperature and improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the space. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier maintains ideal humidity levels, protecting the home from mold, rot, and allergens.

With their crawl space now clean, dry, and energy-efficient, the homeowner enjoys a healthier home environment and lower utility costs year-round.

This West Orange crawl space was very cold, especially during the harsh winter that New Jersey has been experiencing. This homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems since his pipes had already frozen three times this year! Quality 1st Basement Systems insulated and encapsulated the crawl space to keep the cold air out and help stop the pipes from freezing so frequently. The homeowner can feel the difference in the temperature in his home and has yet to see his pipes freeze again. He is even looking forward to the next winter!

BrightWall Basement Wall Panels were installed in this previously wet West Orange, NJ basement. BrightWall Panels are completely inorganic which are the ONLY materials that should be used in damp spaces like a basement. Since these basement panels have no organic material, they will never grow mold. Quality 1st Basement Systems also instaleld WaterGuard to waterproof the basement which works in conjunction with the new SuperSump sump pump system. This basement is now dry and usable!
