Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Water intrusion in a dirt-floor crawl space led this Whiting homeowner to call us for help. CleanSpace and SilverGlo were installed to seal out moisture and improve overall crawl space conditions.

In Manchester Township, NJ, a homeowner faced a common crawl space issue: persistent dampness and moisture that made their space uncomfortable and unusable. The basements' musty smell and visible damp spots were affecting their home’s overall environment and raising concerns about potential mold growth.

The owner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We successfully installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which effectively encapsulated their basement. The CleanSpace system transformed the space, creating a dry, clean, and inviting environment. The musty odor disappeared, and the crawl space was now ready for use as a functional and comfortable area. The homeowner was thrilled with the improvement, enjoying a healthier, more usable crawl space!

Concerned by the clear signs of water intrusion and structural stress in their Manchester, NJ crawl space, a homeowner sought professional guidance after noticing damp walls and weakening support beams. These conditions signaled that moisture buildup was beginning to impact the home’s stability, raising the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and long-term damage. Wanting a dependable solution that would address both the underlying moisture issues and the structural concerns, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a thorough evaluation and expert recommendations.

Following a detailed assessment, our team identified the primary sources of moisture and designed a customized plan to restore the crawl space to a safe and healthy condition. This approach included the installation of our patented Drainage Matting to manage water flow, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal the area from ground moisture, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain proper humidity levels. To address the weakened beams, we installed our SmartJack Support System, providing strong, adjustable reinforcement to stabilize the structure.

Working together, these advanced systems created a dry, stable, and protected environment, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in the long-term health and safety of their home!

Crawl spaces are often infrequently visited by the homeowner. With that in mind, how would the homeowner know if their sump pump system was working properly? Annual maintenance is the answer! Quality 1st Service Technician Justin inspected the crawl space and the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System in this Manchester Township home. After removing the air-tight lid and removing the pump for inspection and cleaning, the service technician discovered that the pump was not, in fact, functioning. The outlet was also tested, but it was determined that the sump pump installed several years prior needed to be replaced. With customer's authorization, a new SmartSump 1/3 hp cast-iron Zoeller pump was installed to provide once again a reliable crawl space waterproofing system! 

The owner of this Keasbey, NJ home had a number of basement and foundation problems. The walls had a few cracks, and the home was sinking in one corner. The basement also took on water whenever it would rain. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed Push Piers to repair the foundation and stabilize the home. To prevent the basement flooding, WaterGuard basement drains were installed around the basement. BrightWall wall panels were installed on top of the concrete walls to stop water from coming into the basement through the walls. The owners are now very happy with their dry, usable basement!
