Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Summit, NJ, a homeowner had been dealing with persistent wet basement conditions, especially during heavy rainfall, which led to water seeping through the walls and flooding the floors. With the constant threat of water damage and a growing sense of frustration, they reached out to Quality 1st for a solution.

Our expert team quickly assessed the situation and recommended our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to efficiently collect and direct water away from the foundation, paired with our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a vapor-proof barrier. The installation process was seamless, with the WaterGuard system installed around the perimeter of the basement and the CleanSpace panels applied to the walls, sealing out moisture.

Once complete, the basement was transformed into a dry, clean, and healthy environment, free from the mold and musty odors that had plagued the space. The homeowner was relieved to have a lasting solution in place, knowing their basement was now protected against further water damage!
