Tuesday, January 20th, 2026 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Unexpected moisture problems can quickly interfere with a homeowner’s vision for their living space, and that was the situation for a homeowner in Lansdowne, PA who began noticing signs of water intrusion throughout their unfinished basement. What initially appeared to be a minor inconvenience gradually became a significant obstacle, as persistent moisture can lead to mold growth, material damage, and long-term structural concerns. Determined to protect their home and move forward with their basement finishing plans, the homeowner reached out to the waterproofing experts at Quality 1st Basement Systems.

Solution

Following a detailed on-site inspection, our System Design Specialist Ryan carefully evaluated the basement to pinpoint the exact source of the water seepage. By examining foundation walls, floor joints, and drainage conditions, Ryan was able to identify how moisture was entering the space. This thorough assessment allowed our team to design a fully customized waterproofing and finishing solution tailored to the home’s specific conditions and the homeowner’s goals for a dry, functional basement. This dynamic solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect incoming water, along with a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump and IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure reliable water removal year-round. To create a comfortable and finished environment, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, SilverGlo Insulation Panels for added energy efficiency, EverLast Wall Panels, and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring. Together, these advanced systems eliminated future water intrusion concerns and transformed the basement into a dry, fully finished, and inviting space the homeowner can confidently enjoy!

By sitting discreetly along the foundation perimeter, WaterGuard relieves hydrostatic pressure and prevents water from seeping through wall and floor joints, creating a dry, controlled environment that is essential for long-term basement finishing success.

Designed for high performance and durability, our SuperSump Premier efficiently discharges collected water away from the foundation, protecting the basement from flooding and providing dependable moisture control needed for a finished space.

EverLast Wall Panels and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring were installed to complete the basement's transformation into a durable, comfortable, and finished environment. Both systems are engineered to resist moisture, mold, and deterioration, making them ideal for basement conditions.
