Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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! 

Homeowners who have a TripleSafe sump pump installed in their basement to mitigate water intrusion know that keeping the system cleaned and well-maintained leads to a better operating and more reliable pump system. In this Clifton, NJ home, Quality 1st's service technician Andrew opened the watertight liner lid to access the pumps.  Both the cast iron 1/3 hp and 1/2 hp Zoeller pumps were removed from the liner for cleaning before being reinstalled and tested. Annual maintenance provides peace of mind for one of the top wet basement solutions!
