Basement Waterproofing Transformation in Bear, DE
In Bear, DE, a homeowner faced a persistent challenge: their unfinished basement constantly held moisture, leading to puddles every time it rained, despite having a functioning sump pump.

Waterproofing a Wet Basement in Bear, DE
A homeowner in Bear, DE faced a persistent challenge with moisture accumulation and water puddling in their basement, especially following heavy rains. Despite having a sump pump, water infiltration continued to worry them, prompting them to seek a more efficient, long-lasting solution. Our experienced production team set to work installing several key elements to eliminate the basement's wet conditions. First, we put in a WaterGuard system: a discreet and durable drainage solution designed to capture water seepage and channel it away efficiently. This non-clogging drainage system works alongside the aptly placed CleanSpace liner along the walls of the basement for optimal moisture management. For enhanced protection, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system, renowned for its reliability in handling high volumes of water and its ability to operate during power outages. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was set up to sharply reduce humidity levels, thus preventing mold and improving air quality throughout the home.

Combating Water Seepage In Bear, DE Basement
Concerns about repeated water seepage and noticeable floor sagging led a Bear, DE homeowner to seek out a permanent solution before more serious structural problems could develop.
Upon inspection, Quality 1st identified two primary issues, foundation settlement compromising floor stability, and groundwater intrusion through the wall-floor joint and porous basement walls. The combination posed a significant risk not only to the home's structural integrity but also to the indoor air quality due to excess moisture and the potential for mold growth.
To resolve these issues, our team implemented a dynamic waterproofing and foundation repair system. We began by installing our WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter to capture and redirect groundwater to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which offers triple-layer protection, including a battery backup. CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to act as a moisture barrier and guide wall seepage into the drainage system, while IceGuard was installed on the discharge line to prevent freezing-related backups. Finally, to stabilize the sagging floor and address the foundation settlement, we installed our SmartJack Support System, providing adjustable, long-term support.
With these solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a structurally sound, dry, and healthy basement environment!
WaterGuard in Bear, DE
This homeowner reached out to Basement Systems regarding leaky walls and water coming through cracks into the basement after any type of rainstorm they would have. Our team went out to the property to drill a trench all alongside the foundation wall in order to install our sub-floor drainage system, WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard system collects water from the wall and floor and redirects it to flow into the sump pump. The sub-floor drain sits above the footer so it can capture all the water that comes through and safely channel it away rather than leaking through the wall and into the home, which would cause flooding over time.
