Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Noticing persistent moisture and dampness spreading across their basement walls, a homeowner in Hatboro, PA grew increasingly concerned about potential mold growth and wood rot. These issues not only posed health and structural risks but also discouraged the homeowner from pursuing their goal of finishing the basement into a livable space.

Recognizing the need for a long-term solution, they contacted the experts at Quality 1st, who performed a thorough inspection to identify the source of moisture and determine the most effective waterproofing and finishing strategy for the home.

Our team recommended and installed a combination of advanced systems to create a dry, energy-efficient, and durable basement environment. The solution included SilverGlo Insulation Panels for superior thermal protection, EverLast Wall Panels for moisture-resistant, maintenance-free walls, and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring to provide a stylish yet waterproof flooring option. To enhance safety and natural light, we also added a RockWell Egress Window.

Together, these products eliminated the homeowner’s moisture concerns and completely transformed the basement into a clean, comfortable, and protected living space that will remain dry and beautiful for years to come!

A homeowner in Jenkintown, PA noticed their basement walls were bowing inwards, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to meet with a Foundation expert. We sent Foundation expert, Mike PettyJohn out to perform a full inspection and provide the best recommendation. Based on the foundation wall movement and the cracks that had formed, he determined  Carbon Armor Reinforcement System would be the best solution. 

When a Jenkintown, PA homeowner noticed water consistently overflowing from their gutters and pooling around the base of their home, they knew it was more than just a seasonal nuisance, it was a sign of a serious drainage issue. Clogged gutters were preventing proper water flow, raising concerns about moisture infiltration and potential foundation damage. Looking for a long-term, maintenance-free solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for expert help.

After a detailed inspection, our team recommended the installation of our Gutter Guard System to permanently address the issue. We began by thoroughly cleaning the existing gutters to ensure optimal performance, then securely installed the Gutter Guards to keep out leaves, twigs, and other debris. This system allows water to flow smoothly through the gutters and away from the foundation, even during heavy rainfall.

With the Gutter Guards now in place, the homeowner can trust that their drainage system is working efficiently, eliminating overflow and reducing the risk of water-related damage to their home!

A homeowner from Woodbury, NJ was noticing sinking and settling of her walkway concrete of about 3 inches. This sinkage created a huge crack in his walkway step and the concrete was overall unstable. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basements to help lift up her settled concrete. Our PolyLevel foam was injected beneath the sunken concrete to lift and stabilize the concrete. Next, our team applied NexusPro Joint Sealant to seal the cracks and prevent water from wearing down the concrete. The homeowner finally had a stable walkway that was ready to be walked on just 15 minutes after curing!
