Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

An Ocean, NJ homeowner reached out to our team at Quality 1st when they became concerned over the presence of water that came with heavy rains. With a partially finished basement, leaking water threatened the home's foundation as well as the living space on the bottom floor. Our crew provided a reliable waterproofing installation that completely transformed the space.

Our WaterGuard Drains were installed around the perimeter of the basement to create a channel for water to flow through. These drains will lead leaking water into the new sump pump, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. With three pumps, the basement will have three layers of protection against high volumes of water. This upgrade in the waterproofing system of the basement is sure to keep the space safe from heavy rains forcing rain inside.

After an extended period of heavy rainfall, a homeowner in Ocean, NJ began experiencing persistent moisture issues in their basement, which posed serious risks of mold growth and structural damage. Seeking a lasting and effective solution, they turned to Quality 1st for expert assistance. Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection and tailored a waterproofing plan specifically designed to address the unique challenges of their basement environment.

The solution included the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which efficiently redirects water away from the foundation, paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump for reliable water removal, even during power outages. To further protect the space, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels that create a moisture-resistant barrier to block vapor intrusion and improve indoor air quality. Additionally, our IceGuard Discharge Line was installed to prevent freezing blockages during colder months.

With these advanced systems in place, the basement was transformed into a dry, healthy, and secure environment that the homeowner can confidently depend on year-round!

Ongoing water seepage had begun to take a toll on a homeowner in Asbury Park, NJ, creating a damp, uncomfortable basement environment and raising concerns about potential mold growth and wood rot. Wanting to protect their home and restore the space, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a permanent, professional solution. After conducting a full inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing strategy tailored to the specific conditions of the basement.

We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter to intercept wall and floor seepage before it reached the living area. To address surface water near entry points, the TrenchDrain System was added, effectively capturing water at ground level. Both drainage systems were connected to our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three levels of pump protection, including a battery backup for power outages.

With this full system in place, the basement is now dry, protected, and usable, giving the homeowner confidence and renewed pride in their home!
