Photo Album: Waterproofing Solution In Short Hills, NJ Basement

A homeowner in Short Hills, NJ began to notice signs of basement water intrusion and growing concerns about the stability of their foundation. Recognizing the potential risks of long-term damage, including structural compromise and moisture-related issues, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional evaluation. After a detailed inspection, our team discovered that the seepage was linked to a weakening foundation and poor water management. To resolve the issue, we designed a customized solution that included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to intercept and redirect water, BrightWall Panels to create a clean, moisture-resistant barrier on the basement walls, and Push Piers to permanently stabilize and support the settling foundation. With these systems expertly installed, the basement is now dry, structurally sound, and protected for the long term.

Installing Push Piers

Our crew began the Push Pier installation by carefully excavating around the foundation footing to expose the problem areas and prepare the site for stabilization.

During Push Piers

Heavy-duty steel Push Piers were driven deep into stable load-bearing soil and securely attached to the foundation footing, then hydraulically lifted to restore structural integrity.

Push Piers

Push Piers permanently stabilize settling foundations by transferring the home's weight to deep, stable soil layers, helping to lift and level the structure while preventing further settlement.

WaterGuard Drainage System

The crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water seeping through the basement walls and floor joints, directing it safely to the sump pump to keep the space dry.

BrightWall Panels

BrightWall Panels were added to create a clean, waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from entering the living space while brightening and finishing the basement walls.
