Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Our team completed a basement waterproofing job in Elverson, PA today for a homeowner dealing with serious water issues. Every time it rained they noticed after a day or so small leaks of water were coming in from the foundation wall and up from the corner of the floor. Although the basement was unfinished, it was still a headache to clean up and then dry out to ensure mold never grew. The Quality 1st Basement Systems team installed a full perimeter waterproofing system to keep this large basement dry. Our perimeter drainage system, WaterGuard was installed above the footing of the foundation to accept and direct water directly to the sump pump system. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is our largest system that collects all the water and forces out and away from the home. The top lid ensures water and moisture stay inside the pit to protect the pump and prevent unwanted musty smells. 

Cinderblock walls had "stair cracks", signs of mold, and water intrusion. To correct this issue, we installed Carbon Armour Strips that will stabilize the cracked walls, we did a mold remediation treatment, installed 2 SuperSump Pumps, Waterguard, and a CleanSpace vapor Barrier. 

A homeowner in Chesapeake City, MD, was facing persistent water intrusion in their basement due to an old, ineffective sump pump that could no longer handle the high volume of water entering the space during heavy rainfall. As a result, water seepage was becoming a major concern, threatening the integrity of the home and creating an unhealthy, damp environment. Seeking a reliable solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st.

Our team assessed the situation and installed our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump, which offers three levels of protection: a primary pump, a secondary pump for backup, and a battery backup pump for power outages. This advanced system effectively managed the water flow, eliminated the seepage, and restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and fully protected condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement was safeguarded against further water damage!

When this homeowner from Chesapeake City, MD noticed sagging floors and a musty smell coming from their crawl space, they knew it was time for a comprehensive solution. They chose to waterproof the area with CleanSpace, which sealed the crawl space walls and floor, keeping moisture and humidity under control. Now, their crawl space is dry, structurally sound, and healthier for their home overall giving the homeowner peace of mind.

This customer reached out regarding the sump pump constantly running and not being able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. We removed the old pump and installed our TripleSafe sump pump, which adjusts to your pumping requirements. The TripleSafe is a three-pump system and has a battery backup to ensure that the basement never floods, even when the power goes out. It has an airtight removable lid that helps reduce the amount of noise than you average sump pump.
