When heavy rain consistently led to water collecting near their basement window, a New Castle, DE homeowner realized it wasn’t just a nuisance, it was a warning sign of potential water damage. Concerned about the risk of mold, wood rot, and long-term structural issues, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a lasting solution. After a detailed inspection, our team identified a failing basement window with deteriorated seals and poor drainage as the primary cause of the moisture intrusion.
To effectively resolve the issue, we installed a new energy-efficient Egress Window, which provides a watertight seal while improving ventilation, natural light, and emergency egress in compliance with building codes. To further protect the basement, we added our Window WellDuct System, designed to redirect water from the window well directly into the home’s drainage system, preventing future pooling and seepage.
Together, these upgrades eliminated the homeowner’s water concerns and significantly enhanced the safety, function, and value of their basement space!
After noticing a thin crack in their basement wall slowly growing and letting in moisture, this homeowner from New Castle, DE decided to take action before it became a bigger problem. They chose FlexiSpan, a permanent and reliable solution for leaky wall cracks. Unlike traditional patching methods, FlexiSpan stays flexible over time, allowing it to move with the natural shifting of the foundation without reopening. The installation sealed the crack completely and redirected any potential seepage safely into the home’s drainage system.
Ongoing concerns arose for a New Castle, DE homeowner when worsening cracks along their basement walls began allowing moisture to seep inside, raising the risk of structural decay and mold growth. Recognizing the potential long-term damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a dependable solution.
Our team conducted a thorough inspection to determine the root cause of the cracking, allowing us to develop a repair plan that would address both the structural instability and the moisture intrusion affecting the basement.
Based on our findings, we recommended installing our patented FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System, designed to provide a flexible, watertight seal that adapts to future foundation movement. This advanced repair method not only stops existing leaks but also ensures continuous protection should the crack shift over time.
Once the system was installed, the basement walls were restored to a stable, dry, and secure condition, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in the safety and durability of their home!
Decent-sized crawl space with some moisture problems and in need of some TLC. To help out, we installed a Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier, Clean Space Vapor barrier, and Terrablock Floor insulation with Drainage matting. All of this allows the crawl space to be free of moisture while giving it a nice, clean look.
Water was entering the customers' Finished Basement through their Egress Window and if left unattended, this could have turned into an extremely costly nightmare for these homeowners. To help keep the basement dry, we installed a Triple Safe Sump pump, which will pump any water entering the basement to our Lawnscape Underground Pipe that directs the water out and away from the house.
