Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

FloodRing installed at a homeowner's basement in Scotch Plains, NJ. FloodRing was installed as a preventative measurement to protect the basement from any leak that may occur.

A basement in Scotch Plains, NJ, had more water seepage than the previously installed sump pump could handle. We came out and installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, along with a new french drain to help alleviate the water issues. The WaterGuard French Drain System collects water and directs it to the TripleSafe nearby. With this installation in place, this basement is sure to stay dry for years to come!

When heavy rains hit, this homeowner from Scotch Plains, NJ noticed a troubling pattern; their crawl space would flood every time, leaving behind standing water, musty odors, and growing concerns about mold and foundation damage. They decided to take action and called in Quality 1st Basements. The team installed WaterGuard, designed to capture and redirect groundwater before it could reach the crawl space. To complete the solution, they added a LawnScape outlet, allowing water to safely discharge away from the home’s foundation and into the yard. Now, no matter how hard it rains, the homeowner's crawl space stays clean, dry, and protected, giving them peace of mind and a healthier home environment.

What began as a subtle damp smell slowly transformed into a clear sign of trouble for a homeowner in Scotch Plains, NJ. As moisture levels continued to rise in the basement, it became evident that the lack of proper drainage support was putting the home at risk for mold growth and potential structural deterioration. Seeking a long-lasting solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for professional guidance and a permanent fix.

After conducting a detailed inspection, our team identified the most effective approach to protect the basement from ongoing water intrusion. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture groundwater at the perimeter, paired with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for reliable water removal. To address leaking window wells, our Window WellDuct System was integrated into the design, and our Egress Window was added to enhance safety, ventilation, and durability.

Working together, these high-performing systems now provide the homeowner with a dry, secure environment and long-term peace of mind!

Quality 1st Basements was contacted by a homeowner living in Scotch Plains, NJ for water concerns they had in their basement. The existing sump pump in the basement was no longer properly pumping water out of the water causing the basement to flood. Quality 1st Basements installed a new drainage system known as WaterGuard to collect the water in the basement and direct it towards the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the largest of the two basement sump pumps Quality 1st installs, making it fully capable of keeping a large basement of this size dry.
