Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Hightstown crawl space was damp, dirty and contained a lot of moisture. The homeowner was concerned with the air quality and was interested in crawl space encapsulation so they called Quality 1st Basement Systems. The Q1 team installed a CleanSpace liner to seal off and protect the crawl space as well as the foundation of the home. This creates a waterproof, dirt proof and moisture resistant area underneath the home. A SaniDry Dehumidifier now allows proper circulation of dry air and a TripleSafe Sump Pump will keep the crawl space dry. 

A homeowner in East Windsor, NJ had an existing sump pump in their basement, but it was working poorly and there was often water in the well. To solve this problem, Quality 1st installed a new sump pump, TripleSafe. TripleSafe is a sump pump that provides three levels of protection for the basement. Meaning the TripleSafe has three pumps built in to provide full protection in case any of the pumps fail. Also, in case of a power outage the UltraSump battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery! With a new sump pump this basement will be free of water.  

A homeowner contacted Quality 1st when they realized their concrete was sinking and settling. Not wanting to go through the expense and hassle of replacing the concrete, they were looking for an alternative solution.  Our System Design Specialist, Jay, inspected the area and suggested PolyLevel would be the best solution for the homeowner.

Our PolyLevel Foreman, Richard, went out to complete the installation. Richard and his team drilled penny- size holes into the concrete and  injected the polyurethane foam. They were able to lift and level the concrete within minutes without disrupting the surrounding areas. To complete the installation, our team installed NexusPro joint sealant to seal the joints of the concrete to prevent water from getting beneath the surface of the concrete and causing settlement in the future.

Check out this sidewalk we raised in Hightstown, NJ. We drilled small penny-size holes into the concrete slab and injected PolyLevel underneath to raise the concrete back to level. 

PolyLevel is a waterproof, environmentally friendly, lightweight polyurethane foam that permanently stabilizes the sidewalk. 

Too often we see basement windows allowing moisture and unwanted drafts inside a basement. Making sure your windows are properly sealed to prevent leaks is key. Our SunHouse Window Well is a great product to have on the outside of your basement window because it allows that natural light in all while keeping unwanted drafts and water out.
