Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wilmington, DE was dealing with increased moisture in their basement caused by persistent water seepage during heavy rains. Concerned about potential long-term damage such as mold growth, structural weakening, and unhealthy air quality, they turned to Quality 1st for a reliable solution.

Our team performed a detailed inspection of the basement and crawl space, identifying areas of concern including perimeter seepage, leaking window wells, and sagging floors above the crawl space. Based on these findings, we developed a comprehensive, customized waterproofing and support plan tailored to the unique conditions of the home.

To resolve the water intrusion, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to effectively capture and redirect incoming water to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides triple-layered protection against flooding, even during power outages. To prevent window well leaks, our WellDuct System was added to channel water directly into the drainage system. Additionally, our SmartJack System was installed to stabilize and lift the sagging floor joists above the crawl space, restoring structural integrity to the living space above.

Together, these systems eliminated the moisture problems and reinforced the home's foundation, leaving the basement dry, stable, and ready for long-term use with complete peace of mind.

A Wilmington, DE homeowner began noticing a musty odor creeping up from their basement, soon followed by visible signs of moisture along the base of the walls and floor. What seemed like a small nuisance quickly escalated into a real concern as water seepage became more frequent after heavy rains.

When we arrived, our inspection revealed that groundwater pressure was pushing moisture into the basement due to insufficient drainage and no active waterproofing system in place. Left unchecked, this issue could have led to structural damage, mold growth, and a compromised foundation.

To stop the intrusion at its source, we designed a tailored waterproofing plan that featured our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, built for durability and heavy-duty performance. Paired with our IceGuard Discharge Line, this setup offered reliable drainage, even during freezing conditions, ensuring water could safely exit the home without backing up. With these high-performance systems installed, the basement is now completely dry, protected from future water infiltration, and ready for use.

This homeowner now enjoys true peace of mind, knowing their home is completely safeguarded no matter the season!

This homeowner in Wilmington reached out to us for a window well upgrade. Their current well and cover was rusted and cracked. Here we installed an Everlast Window Insert along with our Window Well Enclosure and Cover. This reinforced vinyl enclosure helps to allow more light in to brighten up the space.
