Persistent basement moisture had become a major roadblock for a homeowner in Haverstraw, NY, who had long planned to transform the space into a finished living area. Water seepage along the walls and floor not only created an uncomfortable environment but also raised concerns about long-term structural damage and mold growth. Looking for a permanent fix before moving forward with any remodeling, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified the sources of the water intrusion and designed a comprehensive waterproofing and finishing plan tailored specifically to the basement’s layout and conditions.

To address the moisture issues, our crew installed the WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to channel water directly to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, ensuring efficient and reliable water removal. We also included our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent backups in freezing conditions. Once the basement was fully protected, we installed ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring and EverLast Wall Panels, moisture-resistant, mold-proof finishing products that add warmth, comfort, and style.

With the project complete, the homeowner was finally able to enjoy a dry, healthy, and beautifully finished basement, adding both functional space and long-term value to their home!
