Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We were reached out to by this customer because they were looking for an emergency exit for their basement. They had numerous basement windows, but none big enough to escape out of, so they asked us to turn one into an Egress.

We came out and installed  28 x 48 Out-Swing Egress window along with a 42 x 48 with RockWell Cover. We also installed a WellDuct right under the Egress, which will drain any water intruding over to their current waterproofing system.

This customer had a partially finished basement with an attached garage that would take on water whenever there was a heavy rainfall. After waterproofing multiple properties of hers, she knew our company would get this job done and get it done right. We came out and installed Waterguard along the problematic wall as well as 3 Triple Safe Sump Pumps, SaniDry Dehumidifier, 4 Sunhouse enclosures for the basement windows and Wellducts installed below each window, that would tie into the draining system. 

This Before And After will focus on one of the sump pump upgrades to our Triple Safe. As you can see the current sump pump was just an open pit with a pump, an open pit not only collects dirt and debris but will also allow odors and gases to escape from below the slab. Our Triple Safe Sump Pump comes with an airtight lid that will keep out bugs, debris, gases and quiets the noise of the pump. The Triple Safe also comes equipped with 3 pumps. We have the main pump which is a 1/3hp Zoeller pump, the second pump is a 1/2hp Zoeller that will operate when the first pump either fails, or gets overwhelmed and then the third and last pump is the battery back up pump that will turn on if and when power fails.

In Odessa, DE, a homeowner experiencing persistent water intrusion in their basement reached out to Quality 1st in search of a permanent solution. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team designed and implemented a dynamic waterproofing system tailored to the home’s specific needs.

The installation included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation level, a TrenchDrain System to intercept surface water at key entry points, CleanSpace Wall Panels to act as a vapor barrier and enhance the basement's appearance, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump for reliable water removal, even during power outages. To further ensure protection in colder months, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing-related backups.

Together, these components created a robust defense against moisture, effectively transforming the basement into a dry, healthy, and usable space the homeowner could trust for years to come!

In West Chester, PA, a homeowner was becoming increasingly frustrated with persistent water seepage in their basement, which had caused damp conditions and raised concerns about potential long-term damage, including mold growth and foundation issues. Seeking a permanent solution, they reached out to Quality 1st, and our team quickly responded with a comprehensive plan to resolve the moisture problem.

We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter to effectively manage water flow, along with CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a moisture-resistant barrier. To ensure reliable water removal, we added our TripleSafe Sump Pump, providing three levels of protection, and completed the solution with our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing during colder months.

With these advanced waterproofing solutions in place, we successfully eliminated the moisture issues, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy environment free from further water intrusion!

This customer was getting water in the basement through a wall leak. First we surrounded the walls of the basement with our CleanSpace wall system which catches any moisture or vapor from wall. Then, we installed our WaterGuard sub-flooring drainage system, which connects to the sump pump, around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is designed to capture wall and floor leakage that then would flow down to the sump pump.
