Addressing Water Seepage In Historic New Castle, DE
Challenge
In New Castle, DE, a homeowner was dealing with a recurring basement water issue that left the space constantly damp and unwelcoming. The persistent moisture not only limited how the area could be used, but also raised serious concerns about long-term structural damage and the potential for mold growth. Realizing that the problem would only worsen over time, the homeowner sought out a professional and lasting solution by contacting Quality 1st.
Solution
Our team responded promptly and conducted a detailed inspection of the basement to pinpoint the exact sources of water intrusion. Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the unique needs of the home. To address the seepage at its source, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter of the basement. This system is designed to intercept water before it reaches the basement floor. To control moisture coming through the walls, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier and help channel water directly into the drainage system. To efficiently remove the collected water, we installed a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, known for its durability and high-performance capability. We also added an IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure water would continue to be expelled from the home, even during freezing winter conditions. With the complete waterproofing system in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, clean, and usable basement. More importantly, they have peace of mind knowing their home is protected from future water damage and the risks that come with it.
