Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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. 

This was a long-time customer of ours; we had previously done some minor waterproofing in the basement and crawl space as well. This project was for window replacements. We came out and replaced 3 basement windows with our EverLast slider windows.

In this basement, the homeowner wanted to further waterproof the area and get a sub-floor drain installed to capture any wall leaks. We installed our CleanSpace Wall System around the foundation, which will help reduce the humidity and seal out any cold drifts during the winter months. To keep the moisture down and maintain the humidity, the team installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which will not only stop mold growth but also get rid of musty odors and allergies. 

What looked like a few damp spots turned into a clear sign that this basement needed serious attention. In West Chester, PA, a homeowner began noticing moisture creeping into their basement, an issue that quickly escalated into persistent damp walls and musty odors. Concerned about the risk of mold growth and structural deterioration, they turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team identified the sources of water intrusion and designed a tailored waterproofing system to address the problem from every angle.

To capture groundwater before it could reach the basement floor, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. Our TrenchDrain System also was added to intercept surface water near exterior stairwells and entry points. At the heart of the system, we placed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, known for its triple-layer protection and ability to operate during power outages. To prevent winter-related issues, we included an IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring water would always have an escape route even if the line froze. Finally, we finished the space with CleanSpace Wall Panels, creating a bright, vapor-proof barrier that keeps moisture out and improves the basement’s appearance.

With these systems working together, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and fully protected basement space.
