Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

If your sump pump from Quality 1st Basement Systems is resembling the before picture, it may be time for annual maintenance! Our service team provides excellent care and education to ensure that your sump pump will protect the home and have an extensive lifespan!

A homeowner in Roxbury Township, New Jersey had water seeping in from the ground every time it rained. Quality 1st System Design Specialist inspected the basement and suggested it be waterproofed. WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement under the floor slab, on top of the foundation footing to prevent the system from clogging. Next, the TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the basement to pump the water out of the basement. The TripleSafe sump pump has three levels of pumps built inside in case of one pump failure, the next lower level pumps will kick in. The TripleSafe also comes with a backup battery that will pump 11,500 gallons of water or more on a fully charged battery. This basement is free from water and protected. 

A homeowner in Ledgewood, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to replace their old sump pump system. We installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System which will provide three levels of protection against water intrusion. Three separate pumps sit inside the protective liner to handle high volume of water. 

Ongoing water intrusion had turned a Skillman, NJ basement into a damp, musty environment that the homeowner could no longer enjoy or rely on for storage or living space. Frustrated by recurring moisture after every rainfall and concerned about potential mold growth and damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution. After a detailed inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan to target the root of the problem and protect the basement from future water issues.

The project began with the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, placed just below the floor slab to intercept water at its entry point and direct it to our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This powerful sump system provides triple the protection with a primary, secondary, and battery backup pump to ensure 24/7 reliability. To further prevent flooding, our crew added the IceGuard Discharge Line attachment, which allows water to escape even if the exterior pipe becomes frozen. Finally, we installed EverLast Wall Panels to replace damaged lower wall sections, offering a clean, waterproof finish that resists mold and rot.

The result was a dry, comfortable basement and a homeowner who could once again feel confident in the health and safety of their home!

This Skillman, NJ homeowner has had their sump pump system for over ten years, and their home continues to be protected against water damage. Each year, the homeowner schedules a sump pump maintenance, so our service team can thoroughly clean the system and inspect any malfunctions.
