Before & After Photos

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed the WaterGuard French Drain for this basement in Ewing, NJ. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement, collecting water at every angle. It's also installed above the footing of the foundation to easily collect water seepage without clogging of mud. 

When our team begins the prep for waterproofing a basement, first step is to drain the foundation of any water. Small weep holes are drilled to drain the water out into the channel. After the French drain is installed, our team puts a small pocket to allow our Service team in the future to perform annual maintenance by properly flood testing the system to ensure its always working properly to perfect the home. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems resolved a water issue a South River, NJ homeowner was experiencing. We waterproofed the basement and one component of the system installed was the WaterGuard French Drain. WaterGuard is installed above the footing the home foundation. Water collects in the French drain and directs it straight to the sump pump system. 

Heavy water was seeping into the basement of this Hartleysville, PA home. Quality 1st Basement Systems inspected the basement and found the basement's sump pump system was completely worn out. It was no longer protecting this home against water seepage. We installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System as the best solution. Check out the difference between the existing, failing pump and our TripleSafe! 

To properly waterproof a basement, it starts with a trusted French drain channel. WaterGuard is installed above the footing to this homes foundation which is considered out of the mud-zone. This prevents clogging and allows the water to flow easily into the sump pump pit. As you can see, the after picture shows the WaterGuard system in the channel before the concrete is pored over to secure it in place. the lid top on the right is to safely flood test the system in the future to ensure its functioning properly.
