Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Recently, a homeowner in West Grove, PA, reached out to us at Quality 1st. They were facing persistent basement water seepage, leading to damp conditions and recurring mildew smells. We recommended a robust waterproofing system tailored to their home, ensuring a comprehensive approach to keeping their basement dry. The strategy we implemented included installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump system, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace encapsulation. First, our production team carefully exposed a segment of the basement floor to set down the WaterGuard drainage system. This discreet system channels water invisible to the eye, effectively guiding it away from the surrounding foundation towards the sump pump. Next, our team installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, known for its reliability and triple protection features, providing peace of mind by efficiently pumping water away even during heavy rainfall or power outages. Moreover, for added protection, we employed our CleanSpace encapsulation, lining the basement walls with heavy-duty material designed to block all moisture entry. This seamless system not only enhances durability but also improves energy efficiency and air quality throughout the home.

This Coatesville, PA, homeowner noticed that during heavy rainfall, water was seeping through their basement window, creating damp and dreary conditions that threatened the integrity of the space. Concerned about the growing problem, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection was conducted, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect water away from the foundation, and TrenchDrain to manage water at entry points. We also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to act as a moisture barrier and improve air quality, along with our EverLast Window, which provides a waterproof, energy-efficient solution. To prevent future freeze-ups, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring the sump pump discharge pipe remains clear.

Together, these systems effectively eliminated water intrusion, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy space and providing the homeowner with a renewed sense of pride in their home!

A homeowner in Coatesville, PA contacted Quality 1st after noticing rising moisture levels in their basement, which sparked concerns about mold growth and potential structural damage.

Understanding the importance of addressing these issues quickly, our team responded promptly and recommended the installation of our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This powerful, energy-efficient system is designed to remove excess humidity from the air while filtering out mold spores and allergens, making it ideal for damp basement environments.

Once installed, the SaniDry Sedona immediately began improving air quality and reducing moisture, effectively transforming the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected space the homeowner can now trust for years to come!

Ensuring continued protection against basement water intrusion, our team performed annual maintenance for a valued Quality 1st customer in Coatesville, PA who had a TripleSafe Sump Pump System installed several years ago. Routine service is essential to maintaining reliable performance, especially during periods of heavy rainfall or elevated groundwater levels, making this scheduled visit an important step in preserving the system’s effectiveness.

During the maintenance appointment, Service Technician Jordan conducted a detailed inspection and testing of each component within the TripleSafe System, including the primary, secondary, and backup pumps. By verifying proper operation, cleaning key components, and confirming the system was functioning at peak efficiency, Jordan helped extend the lifespan of the equipment while reinforcing the homeowner’s confidence that their basement will remain dry, secure, and protected year after year!

This home had builder-grade fiberglass insulation on the basement walls. Fiberglass is organic and, therefore, not a good product to place against damp walls. The moisture content in the insulation will cause mold and drastically lower the R values, making it almost useless. We removed the bad insulation and installed FoaMax insulation boards. FoamMax will properly insulate this basement and also act as a vapor barrier. In addition to being a much better way to insulate foundation walls, they also look great and brighten up the whole basement.
