Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Customer had an unfinished basement that she was looking to fully finish in the near future. Her first step for the finishing project was to install an Egress window. The customer had several basement windows, but if there were ever an emergency and a fast escape through the basement was needed, there was nowhere to go. This is where we came in, we came out and installed a 48 x 48 Slider Egress window with a RockWell which has a stone look and  is UV Stable, rust and rot proof and can stand up to extreme temperatures. 

Here we have the installation of a top-of-the-line TripleSafe Sump system. The TripleSafe is capable of pumping over 6,000 gallons per hour and also operates on battery backup in case of power failure.

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!

A Wilmington, DE homeowner began noticing persistent water intrusion and dampness in their basement, signaling a serious drainage problem. The root cause was an outdated sump pump that could no longer handle the high volume of water entering the space, allowing moisture to accumulate and create an environment prone to mold growth and structural damage.

Concerned about the long-term impact on their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and solution.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection to pinpoint the source of the moisture and evaluate the existing drainage system. Based on our findings, we designed a customized waterproofing plan that included the installation of our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, engineered for high-capacity, reliable water removal, and our IceGuard Discharge Line, which ensures uninterrupted drainage even in freezing conditions. With this system in place, the basement is now consistently dry, providing the homeowner with lasting protection, improved air quality, and peace of mind!
