Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Bloomfield, NJ was struggling with a failing waterproofing system in their basement that was causing the old sump pump to flood the yard. Concerned about the significant water damage facing their property, the homeowner knew to call Quality 1st for an upgrade. Our crew installed a new waterproofing system for the basement that featured our SuperSump Sump Pump to ensure the basement could keep up with removing high volumes of water. This new sump pump was paired with our WaterGuard Perimeter Drains to channel water away from the foundation and prevent future seepage. Cleanspace Walling was then added to provide a moisture barrier on the walls and enhance overall waterproofing. Thanks to our team, this new system resolved the home's flooding issue and guaranteed a basement safeguarded from future water damage, ensuring a dry, healthy, and well-protected home.

A resident in Bloomfield, New Jersey was experiencing water coming in through their basement walls. This can happen during periods of heavy rainfall when the soil around the home becomes saturated. This saturated soil pushes against the foundation and water seeps into the walls. The homeowner called Quality 1st Basement Systems to find a solution. Our foreman, Jonathan Neira and the Quality 1st Basement Crew, installed the SuperSump Pump System which will prevent water seepage and collect water and drain it away and out of the basement. Then, the foreman installed the WaterGuard Drain System, which is placed under the slab and sits on top of the foundation's footing. This system collects any water and drains it to the sump pump. Now, the homeowner's basement is protected against water.
