Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Uncontrolled water infiltration can quickly turn a basement into a major concern, and this was the challenge facing a homeowner in Claymont, DE. Persistent seepage, caused by a combination of heavy rainfall and poor drainage, threatened the structural integrity of the foundation and created conditions conducive to mold growth and property damage. Recognizing the potential long-term risks, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional, permanent solution.

Our System Design Specialist, John, conducted a thorough inspection to pinpoint the root causes of the water intrusion, allowing us to design a fully customized waterproofing plan. The solution included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain System to redirect groundwater away from the foundation, a TripleSafe Sump Pump with IceGuard Discharge Line for reliable year-round water removal, and a Window WellDuct System to protect vulnerable basement windows. CleanSpace Wall Panels were also installed to create a durable, moisture-resistant barrier along the walls.

Together, these advanced systems eliminated ongoing water issues, restored the basement to a dry, safe condition, and provided the homeowner with long-term protection and peace of mind.

A current customer of our company reached back out to us asking for additional work in her basement. During our first round of waterproofing, we installed a SuperSump with Waterguard and a SaniDry Dehumidifie; we offered our CleanSpace vapor barrier as well, but at that time, it was declined. Now, with water still intruding through her basement walls, she reached back out for the installation of the CleanSpace.

Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is a bright, durable vapor barrier that stops water vapor from penetrating walls. Paired up with our Waterguard, SuperSump Pump and our SaniDry dehumidifier that was previously installed, this customer now has a complete waterproofing system in play and the basement is ready to take on the many storms to come!

A local motel was experiencing continuous water seepage in their basement – a problem that persisted daily, rain or shine. Understandably, this caused major concern for the owners who wanted to ensure their property remained a welcoming and safe place for their guests. The basement needed not just a patch-up job but a comprehensive waterproofing solution to tackle the root of the issue. To achieve a dry and secure basement, we recommended the installation of our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Here’s how it broke down: the WaterGuard system was installed around the edges of the basement to effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to our TripleSafe Sump Pump. 

At Quality 1st, we had the pleasure of helping a homeowner in Penns Grove, NJ, solve a rather wet and potentially moldy problem. Their home, sporting an unfinished basement, was taking in water, sparking worries about mold and the structural integrity of the house. After careful consideration, we presented a tailored solution that included installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump, SuperSump, SaniDry Sedona, and CleanSpace. Each of these products plays a vital role in ensuring a dry, clean, and healthy basement environment. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump system set out to offer triple the protection, especially during heavy rains or power outages. Coupled with the SuperSump, we provided an effective first line of defense against water. The SaniDry Sedona then addresses any humidity to halt mold growth in its tracks, and CleanSpace liner was the cherry on top, keeping the area vapor-free and clean.
