Photo Album: Addressing Wet Basement Concerns In Newark, DE

This Newark, DE homeowner started to notice increasingly wet conditions around their basement, which resulted in concerns about potential structural damage and mold-growth, leading the homeowner to contact Quality 1st for a reliable and permanent fix. Upon further inspection, our team was able to thoroughly diagnose the cause of the increased moisture levels and created a tailored waterproofing approach that included the installation of our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard Discharge Line, Everlast Finished Wall Restoration System, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Together these systems effectively eradicated further moisture-related issues and transformed the basement to a dry, healthy, and pleasant environment!

TripleSafe Sump Pump

We installed our TripleSafe, this system was chosen for its three levels of protection, a powerful primary pump for regular water removal, a secondary pump that activates if the primary fails or can't keep up during heavy rain, and an UltraSump battery backup pump to ensure continued operation during power outages.

IceGuard Discharge Line

In order to prevent water from backing up into the basement if the exterior sump pump discharge line freezes or becomes blocked, we installed our IceGuard Discharge Line. This specialized attachment allows water to escape safely through pre-engineered openings, even when the main line is obstructed.

EverLast Wall Panels

Next the crew installed our EverLast Wall Panels to replace damaged or mold-prone basement walls with a durable, waterproof, and mold-resistant solution. Unlike traditional drywall, EverLast panels are made from inorganic materials that won't warp, rot, or support mold growth, making them ideal for basement environments.

SaniDry Sedona

Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control excess humidity in the basement, preventing moisture-related issues such as mold growth, musty odors, and wood rot. The Sedona is a high-performance, energy-efficient unit designed specifically for below-grade spaces, capable of removing up to 100 pints of water per day while filtering airborne particles.
