A homeowner in Newark, DE began noticing persistent water seepage in their basement after multiple periods of heavy rainfall.

In Newark, DE, a homeowner began noticing consistent water seepage around their basement, particularly after heavy rainfall. The moisture buildup raised concerns about possible long-term issues like wood rot and mold growth, which could compromise the health and safety of the living space. Upon inspection, it was clear that the culprit was an old, underperforming sump pump that could no longer manage the high volume of groundwater entering the area. With water continuing to intrude, the homeowner knew it was time to call in professionals for a permanent solution.

After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a detailed evaluation of the basement and identified the most effective waterproofing strategy. We installed our patented SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for high-capacity water removal, our WellDuct System to safely redirect water from the window wells, and our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure proper drainage even during freezing conditions. These systems now work together to provide powerful, year-round protection against water intrusion. Thanks to this comprehensive upgrade, the basement has been fully restored to a dry, healthy state, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
