Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer was in the process of renovating their Philly home and was looking to add an Egress in their basement. An egress is not only a way to safely exit the basement in case of an emergency, but Egress windows also allow in a lot of natural lighting. 

The Egress at this Philadelphia rental property was poorly designed and was causing water to leak into the basement. This is where we came in. We came out to the property and replaced the existing egress and well with our 48x48 Slider Egress window with a 72" deep Boman Kemp window well and grate cover. 

Customer hired another contractor to install an egress, but it went all wrong. We stepped in and repaired the the work and installed a code-approved egress window system.

This customer had some concerning levels of moisture in the finished basement and noticed that mold was on a vent with an area of damp walls. Here we installed our SuperSump pump system with Zoeller M63 cast iron pump liner with an airtight lid that pumps out any water from the home. Then we installed our WaterGuard sub-flooring drainage system around the perimeter to capture any future water seepage and wall leaks. Lastly, we installed a Tuff top sump lid to hide the unit under the carpet of the finished basement. 

A homeowner in Philadelphia, PA, was struggling with relentless moisture intrusion in their basement due to multiple wall cracks that led to recurring water damage and damp, unhealthy conditions. Frustrated and seeking a long-term fix, they reached out to Quality 1st for help.

Our experienced team promptly evaluated the problem and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to efficiently capture incoming water and channel it safely away from the home's foundation. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, creating a durable, moisture-resistant barrier that shields the basement walls from water seepage and potential mold growth.

The result was a dramatic transformation: a dry, clean, and secure basement environment that gave the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in the long-term health of their home.
