Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Initial call we received was to assess a concerning vertical crack in his poured foundation, while our inspector was out at the property, it was brought to his attention that he would also like to look into upgrading one of the basement windows, into an Egress and some minor waterproofing. For the vertical crack in the foundation, he proposed a Urethane Injection with Flexispan, for the Egress, our Slider Egress with RockWell and Cover along with a WellDuct to tie into their current waterproofing system. 

At this semi-finished home, the basement would take on water during heavy rainfall and sit in the corner of the room. We installed our sub-floor drain, WaterGuard, which lies on the foundation footing that channels the water into the sump system. This will help collect water from the basement walls, has easy-to-access service ports, and is resistant to drain clogs. 

This customer was in need of a sump pump upgrade so we delivered - in the form of a SuperSump Plus pump system with a cast iron pump, capable of pumping up to 2,300 gallons per hour, a heavy-duty liner with an airtight lid that keeps moisture and critters from coming up into the basement, and a WaterWatch Alarm system which alerts you if the water in your sump gets higher than the point where the pump should turn on, giving you time to address the problem before damage occurs.

This homeowner in Bear, DE was experiencing water intrusion in their basement. Water seeps in during the heavy rain and creates a damp environment in the basement, creating mold. The homeowner knew they needed true professionals to waterproof their basement. They called Quality 1st Basements and System Design Specialist, Nick Pechickjian did a full inspection. He suggested WaterGuard to drain the water in the walls and drain it away from the foundation. Then he suggested a SuperSump Plus due to the severity of the water seepage. The Quality 1st Team also installed CleanSpace Walling to protect the basement from the moisture on the walls filtering into the air and creating more conditions for mold. Finally, they installed IceGuard on the exterior of the house to prevent the discharge line from freezing. The homeowner could fully relax now that their basement was safeguarded against moisture. 

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. First, we set up the WaterGuard system, an innovative drainage solution installed below the basement floor, adeptly guiding seeping water towards a sump pump. Next, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, ensuring the homeowner now had triple the protection against sump pump failure, excess water, and even power outages. Additionally, we added a CleanSpace liner on the walls, transforming the previously damp basement into a dry and healthier part of the home. Finally, by fitting the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, we significantly reduced indoor humidity, safeguarding against mold and mildew.
