Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Philadelphia, PA, was struggling with relentless moisture intrusion in their basement due to multiple wall cracks that led to recurring water damage and damp, unhealthy conditions. Frustrated and seeking a long-term fix, they reached out to Quality 1st for help.

Our experienced team promptly evaluated the problem and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to efficiently capture incoming water and channel it safely away from the home's foundation. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, creating a durable, moisture-resistant barrier that shields the basement walls from water seepage and potential mold growth.

The result was a dramatic transformation: a dry, clean, and secure basement environment that gave the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in the long-term health of their home.

Signs of foundation settlement and weakened support beams had become a growing concern for a homeowner in Philadelphia, PA, threatening the long-term stability of their property. Recognizing the urgency of the situation but feeling unsure about the best course of action, they turned to Quality 1st for expert assistance. Our team conducted a thorough inspection to pinpoint the underlying causes of the structural issues and developed a targeted plan to address the problem effectively and permanently.

The solution centered around the installation of our patented SmartJack Support System, designed to stabilize and carefully lift sagging beams with exact precision. By reinforcing the foundation, the system not only halted further settlement but also restored the basement’s structural integrity.

This Egress window was installed in an old Philadelphia row home. The customer currently had 1 small window in his finished basement that he wanted to turn into an Egress to bring everything up to code. We came out and installed our 27 x 45 In-Swing Egress window with a metal egress well and cover. 

A completed living space in a home's basement should not be jeopardized by water leaks that can compromise safety, health, and comfort. This was the situation for a homeowner in Philadelphia, PA, who reached out to our team for a repair solution. Our crew opted to install a new drainage system featuring our WaterGuard Perimeter Drains. This installation allows any leaking water to flow through the new drainage system and direct it to the newly installed sump pump. Additionally, we replaced the existing system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which offers three levels of protection through its innovative three-pump design. These two new installations ensure that the basement is free from pooling water, allowing the homeowner to utilize and enjoy their dry, healthy living space.
