Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

At this home on the bottom of the stairwell door would get water build up to the point of wood rot. To prevent any build-up, we installed our TrenchDrain sub-floor drainage system that effectively captures the surface water from the doorway, then it flows down to the sump system. The heavy-duty drain system is placed sub-level, preventing any tripping hazard, and it also has a grated cover that can be easily removed for cleaning, which prevents corrosion and moisture damage. 

For this customer's project, we installed 2 Egress windows with WellDucts. One egress was a 27x45 In-Swing Egress Window and the other a 60x48 Slider Egress Window. 

This Newark, DE customer reached out to our company for an Egress update. Currently, their poured concrete well was collecting water, which would eventually leak through the window and into the finished basement. Our company came out and replaced the current well with our 48x66x48 Egress Rockwell and cover. We also added a WellDuct window drain to tie into their existing drain tile.

A homeowner in Newark, DE began noticing persistent water seepage in their basement after multiple periods of heavy rainfall. The recurring issue was caused by insufficient drainage around the foundation, allowing water to infiltrate the space and create damp, unhealthy conditions. Concerned about the long-term effects of moisture damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting and reliable waterproofing solution.

Our team responded promptly and conducted a thorough inspection to identify the source of the problem and determine the most effective approach.

Based on our assessment, we designed a customized waterproofing plan that addressed the home’s specific needs. This plan included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to collect and redirect water, our TripleSafe Sump Pump for powerful and dependable water removal, and ThermalDry Basement Sub-Floor Matting to help manage residual moisture and improve floor insulation. Once installed, these systems worked together to eliminate water intrusion, keeping the basement dry and protected from future leaks.

The homeowner was left with a healthy, usable space and peace of mind knowing their home was fully safeguarded against moisture!

In Newark, DE, a homeowner began noticing consistent water seepage around their basement, particularly after heavy rainfall. The moisture buildup raised concerns about possible long-term issues like wood rot and mold growth, which could compromise the health and safety of the living space. Upon inspection, it was clear that the culprit was an old, underperforming sump pump that could no longer manage the high volume of groundwater entering the area. With water continuing to intrude, the homeowner knew it was time to call in professionals for a permanent solution.

After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a detailed evaluation of the basement and identified the most effective waterproofing strategy. We installed our patented SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for high-capacity water removal, our WellDuct System to safely redirect water from the window wells, and our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure proper drainage even during freezing conditions. These systems now work together to provide powerful, year-round protection against water intrusion. Thanks to this comprehensive upgrade, the basement has been fully restored to a dry, healthy state, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
