Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer was having a few issues with the foundation in the basement, first the customer had Vertical cracks starting from the floor and going up to the top of the wall, to stabilize this wall we used our Carbon Armour Strip system, which will strengthen and stabilize the wall over time. The second issue was water seeping in through the porous block foundation every time it would rain. Our waterproofing solution was to install a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier,a Trench drain at the entrance of the outside door, Waterguard along the basement perimeter and a SuperSump Pump.

Wanting a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st for expert help in protecting their home from ongoing water issues.

We installed our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump, a three-pump system designed to provide powerful, layered protection, featuring a primary pump, a secondary for heavy water flow, and a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages.
