Before & After Photos

 WaterGuard French Drain was the first system installed in this Plymouth Meeting, PA home when we began the process of a full perimeter waterproofing system. WaterGuard collects water seeping in from the foundation walls and up from the floor. The water is captured inside and directed straight into the sump pump pit, keeping the basement dry and healthy. 

After this Southampton, PA basement flooded, the bottom half of the finished walls had to be removed from water damage. Once the basement was waterproofed, our team replaced the damage drywall with our EverLast Restoration Wall. This half wall panel has built in insulation to create a more comfortable environment downstairs. 

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. 

When waterproofing your basement you want a system you can trust. Having peace of mind that your home is protected every time it rains is important. This Plymouth Meeting, NJ homeowner was experiencing some heavy water seeping in their basement, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. To properly protect the basement, our team knew installing the WaterGuard French Drain and SuperSump Pump System would be the perfect solution to keep it dry. Together, water will be properly be collected and directed into the sump pump liner to be removed from the basement and away from the homes foundation. The before photo shoes how the french drain is connected into the sump pump pit for water to easily flow. Our SaniDry dehumidifier is the last step to ensure no moisture or musty smells form,  keeping this basement as healthy as it is dry!  

Quality 1st Basement Systems waterproofed this basement in Southampton, PA. We installed the WaterGuard French Drain and SuperSump Pump System as the best solution. The french drain collects ground water and foundation seepage and directs it over to the sump pump pit to properly remove the water from the basement. The airtight lid, stops water inside from evaporating into the basement air creating that damp and musty environment. Stopping water, will prevent mold growth and poor air quality.
