Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Leaves, debris, and water builds up around most basement windows which eventually leaks into the basement. The debris clogging the window space also causes rust and damage to the window making it more likely to leak. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SunHouse basement window enclosure to prevnet water from getting into the basement through the windows. The SunHouse keeps all debris out, keeps the window dry, and even reflects additional light back into this basement!

The owners of this Millburn, NJ home were converting their basement and adding a bedroom. By law, they were required to install an egress window in the basement. An egress window is tall enough and wide enough that it is used as a fire escape from the basement. The homeowners now have peace of mind that everyone in their home has a safe evacuation route.

This Short Hills basement had a water seepage problem and some signs of past mold growth. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace basement liner. CleanSpace will keep the basement safe with lower humidity. By creating a barrier that keeps water vapor out of the basement, CleanSpace will keep mold from growing. Now this basement is healthy and dry.

Homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems about replacing the screen to the opening of the crawl space with a sealed door to prevent cold air and humidity from getting inside the crawl space. When the appointment was set, we sent out our Crawl Space Encapsulation booklet to the homeowner to help generate any other questions or concerns the new homeowner would have. By the time of the appointment, the homeowner wanted to get as much information as possible about encapsulation.

System Design Specialist, Ken Peare explained that the encapsulation of a crawl space is something that every homeowner should do because of the benefits. Encapsulation is when we stop moisture from passing through the walls and floor of the crawl space by installing a CleanSpace liner. This durable, bright white liner is mold and moisture resistant and waterproof to seal the crawl space off from unwanted cold drafts, humidity, dirt and pests that try to get inside. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems was able to transform this crawl space making it healthier for the new homeowners living inside. 

This Short Hills, NJ crawl space was dirty, wet and cold and the homeowners could feel that coldness come up through their floors. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to come and do a full inspection of their crawl space since they hadn't been down there in quite some time and the condition of it was unknown. The crawl space needed a complete waterproof system which consisted of WaterGuard and a SmartSump Pump specifically designed for the crawl space. Next, SilverGlo was installed on the floors and walls as a heat barrier keeping the crawl space warm and therefore the floors above warm as well. Lastly, a CleanSpace liner is installed over the SilveGlo as a vapor barrier. The CleanSpace will protect the crawl space against water, humidity, mold and moisture creating a clean dry environment in the crawl space.
