Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The relentless problem of standing water and persistent dampness beneath their home was causing increasing anxiety for a homeowner in Pennsauken, NJ. Continuous moisture intrusion in the crawl space created a perfect environment for structural threats, including accelerated wood rot and the spread of mold, posing a risk to the integrity and air quality of the entire home. Recognizing that moisture issues only escalate over time, the homeowner made the decisive choice to call in the certified experts at Quality 1st for a permanent, professional solution.

Our approach began with an extensive inspection, which meticulously identified all points of water entry and allowed our team to craft a completely customized, multi-faceted waterproofing and encapsulation strategy tailored precisely to the structure's needs.

The comprehensive solution involved integrating several high-performance systems for ultimate protection. First, our patented StarPipe Drainage System was installed outside to manage groundwater before it reached the foundation. Inside, the cornerstone of the defense was our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a heavy-duty, reinforced liner that fully seals the floor and walls, isolating the home from the earth's moisture. To manage any water that enters the space, our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump was installed for reliable, continuous removal. Finally, the crawl space environment was optimized for health and efficiency, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were applied to the walls for superior thermal protection, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added to filter the air and maintain low humidity levels, actively preventing mold growth.

These advanced systems successfully encapsulated the crawl space, ensuring the area remains completely dry, healthy, and fully protected against all future moisture-related issues!

The Haddon Township customer first contacted us back in 2004 to waterproof their basement. Every year our Service team performs a routine annual maintenance to ensure the system is functioning properly to protect this home. After 20 years, our replaced the old sump pump system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide the ultimate protections for this large basement. 

A damp and humid crawl space was causing discomfort for a homeowner in Haddon Township, NJ, and began to pose a risk to the structural integrity and air quality of their home. Seeking a solution, they reached out to us for assistance in installing a dependable encapsulation system. We renovated their space using our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, as illustrated in the after photo. This solution effectively addresses moisture issues and provides insulation, making it an ideal area for storage.

Homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after realizing the sump pump system had stopped working causing the basement to fill with almost 4 inches of water. Project Manager, Jesus Alvarez- Sanchez and his crew removed the old sump pump system and installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump that not only has three built in pumps in one but also a back up battery that automatically turns on and continues to pump out water during a power outage. 

When this customer noticed water seeping in their basement, they contacted Quality 1st for an inspection. Our specialist, Mike DiVirgilio providede the homeowner with a full inspection of the basement. He examined the area where the water was coming in and explained to the homeowner that because she did not have a french drain, the water coming in the basement was not being directed to the sump pump.

Mike wrote up a full waterproofing proposal to protect the basement from water. Our team installed a full perimeter french drain system and a brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is equipped with 3 pumps to ensure total protection. It also has an alarm that will sound if water levels reach a certain point and a backup battery to keep the pump running in the event of a power outage. 

The homeowner was thrilled with her new system and had peace of mind, knowing that her home was protected from water.
