In Princeton, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us when they noticed persistent dampness taking over their basement. Water seeped through the walls, leaving the space unusable and musty, a common challenge faced by many homeowners. The solution? Installing our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system combined with the CleanSpace wall system. The WaterGuard system was installed discreetly beneath the basement floor, out of sight. Its role was crucial: capturing water seepage before it spread, directing it effortlessly to the sump pump system. CleanSpace, another key component, provided significant support by ensuring the basement’s environment was protected from moisture and the inevitable issues that follow, like mold and mildew.

A homeowner in Princeton, NJ, recently reached out to us at Quality 1st when they discovered a worrisome water-leaking crack in their basement wall. Understanding the intricacies of basement waterproofing, we recommended our FlexiSpan wall crack repair system, known for its reliability under all conditions. Our skilled production team arrived and began by thoroughly sealing the crack. We applied a flexible sealant along the crack's full length, followed by placing a strip of flexible, porous foam to address any seepage. Finally, an impermeable membrane was adhered to the wall, securing both sides of the foam strip. With this reliable three-part process, any potential water leakage is effectively directed down the wall into the basement’s perimeter drainage system. Unlike traditional mortar or sealant techniques that fail due to poor adhesion or slight movement, the FlexiSpan system endures even under hydrostatic pressure or shifts in the wall.

In Princeton, NJ, a homeowner became increasingly concerned as moisture levels in their basement began to rise due to inadequate drainage support. With the growing threat of mold growth and potential structural damage, they knew it was time to find a reliable, long-term solution. That’s when they reached out to Quality 1st for expert help.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection and quickly identified the root cause of the problem, poor water management around the foundation that allowed moisture to seep into the basement space.

To address the issue, we designed a customized waterproofing system tailored to the home’s specific needs. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, engineered to collect and direct water away from the foundation before it can enter the living space. To further protect the basement, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a moisture barrier and help prevent vapor intrusion while giving the space a clean, finished look. This powerful combination now ensures the basement remains dry and protected year-round.

With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is safe from water damage and mold for years to come!

Disheveled concrete around a backyard pool had become a growing concern for a Princeton, NJ homeowner, creating safety risks for family and guests and diminishing the overall appearance of their outdoor space. The homeowner reached out to Quality 1st after noticing the slabs were continuing to sink and crack, unsure of how to address the problem without a full replacement. After a detailed inspection, our System Design Specialist discovered that soil erosion and empty voids beneath the concrete were causing the slabs to shift and settle over time.

To correct the issue, the crew used our patented PolyLevel Foam Injection repair method, a fast, non-invasive approach designed to lift and stabilize sunken concrete with precision. Small holes were drilled into the affected slabs, and high-density foam was injected underneath, expanding to fill gaps and raise the concrete back to its original level. The process was completed with minimal disruption, and the results were immediate.

The homeowner was left with a safe, smooth, and fully restored pool deck that not only looked better but was also built to last for many more seasons of outdoor enjoyment!
