Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Sump pumps can become dirty and laden with sand or silt as ground water passes through to be pumped out of the living area. It is important to have annual maintence performed on basement waterproofing systems to keep them operating effectively and efficiently. Service Technician Nelson visited Martinsville, NJ to check this customer's SuperSump Sump Pump System. After removing the airtight lid, the pump system was disassembled for checking and cleaning. The pumps and their components were cleaned: Nelson cleaned the impellers, the breathing holes, the pump stands, the liner, and the lids. He replaced the check valves and replaced batteries in the WaterWatch Alarm System and reassembled the system. All clean, Nelson tested the system and left the homeowner with a sump pump system operating at peak performance, ready to pump out up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour with the primary pump! 

In Sea Isle City, NJ, a damp and musty crawl space troubled the owners, causing allergies to flare and insulation to falter, evident in the 'before' photo. 'After' captures our CleanSpace system transformation: a dry, encapsulated space free from moisture and musty odors. A definitive end to their concerns, ensuring a healthier atmosphere and peace of mind.

A homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st with concerns about their crawl space. They described issues of a persistent damp and musty smell throughout their home, as well as insulation that had seen better days:  sagging down and no longer effective. Knowing the importance of a clean and dry environment beneath their home, they needed a reliable solution, fast. After their initial call, we promptly arranged for one of our System Design Specialists to inspect the situation. We recommended an installment of our CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the crawl space, effectively sealing out moisture and preventing future growth of mold. Additionally, we suggested the installation of our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity levels and keep the area dry and healthy. To further ensure the crawl space remained effectively insulated, we included SilverGlo insulation on the walls, reflecting heat back into the crawl space and improving the home's overall energy efficiency.

Installing an award-winning Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control basement or crawlspace moisture can help to reduce mold and mildew growth, improve air quality, reduce wood rot, and more!  The Sedona can become an added part of wet basement solutions and with regular annual maintenance, Quality 1st can ensure that it is functioning properly. At a home in Sea Isle City, service technician Jerry inspected the unit. He found that a simple adjustment to the condensate pump line would keep the unit in top operating shape, moving accumulated moisture out and away while most importantly, keeping the room humidity down.  

A homeowner in Oak Ridge, New Jersey noticed their concrete walkway was beginning to sink and settle. Soil becomes either too wet or too dry underneath the slab causing the concrete to shift and settle, creating uneven surfaces and dangerous tripping hazards.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Jeff Pitek, was able to help them find a solution. He suggested a polyurethane foam be injected into the voids to lift the concrete. Our foreman, Victor Leon, installed the PolyLevel System. This is done by drilling tiny holes into the concrete slab and injecting the PolyLevel foam underneath. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allow for an accurate lift and leveling of the slab. Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about dangerous tripping hazards while walking into their home.
