Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Clifton, New Jersey noticed their old and dirty sump pump was no longer able to keep up with their basement. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Anthony Guzzi provided a thorough inspection and suggested they replace their old sump pump. Our foreman Mario installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to replace the old one. TripleSafe has three levels of protection for the basement and provides peace of mind. This system has an airtight, enclosed lid to ensure no water vapor escapes into the basement air. Now, the homeowner no longer has an open pit in their basement, but they have a protective sump pump that will keep their basement dry and healthy!

WaterGuard Drainage System is designed to be installed on the house's footing along the perimeter of the basement. If there is an obstacle that cannot be removed, Quality 1st Basements System's installation team can install the WaterGuard channel around the obstacle (like the radiator in this home in Clifton, NJ) to provide a continuous path for water to channel toward the sump pump.

If the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system is designed to be installed along basement walls, what happens when you get to an opening, like an exterior basement door entrance? As shown here, installed by foreman Juan Garcia and his crew for this customer in Clifton, NJ, a TrenchLock TrenchDrain is connected to the WaterGuard on both sides of the doorway (beneath the floor). Designed with a grated opening and a removable lid to clear debris, it provides a continuous pathway for the water to move to the sump pump.

We recently assisted a homeowner in Clifton, NJ, who was struggling with persistent water seepage in their basement during periods of heavy rainfall. The homeowner was determined to protect their home from potential rot and mold-growth, prompting them to reach out to our team at Quality 1st for a long-term solution.

Once our team reached the home, they began installing our specially patented WaterGuard French Drainage System to redirect water away from the foundation, our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels to protect the space from further decay, and our high-powered SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to manage excess levels of water. 

With these powerful systems installed, this basement will remain dry and healthy for many years ahead, allowing this homeowner to enjoy total peace of mind!

This homeowner in Clifton, New Jersey knew it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment with Quality 1st Basement Systems. Each year, our service team will thoroughly clean and inspect the sump pump to ensure it's operating at its best performance. During these appointments, our service team will disassemble the sump pump, clean it with a hose and vacuum, and then reassemble the sump pump. We emphasize the significance of annual maintenance because it prolongs the lifespan of the system!
