Monday, June 2nd, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Located in Clayton, NJ, a homeowner began noticing persistent water seepage around the perimeter of their basement. The moisture gradually transformed the space into a damp, uninviting area, raising concerns about long-term damage and mold growth. Seeking a dependable and lasting fix, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for expert help and peace of mind.

Solution

Following a detailed inspection, our team identified water infiltration at the wall-floor joint, a common entry point for basement leaks. To address the issue effectively, we designed a customized waterproofing solution featuring our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which captures water before it reaches the basement floor and redirects it safely to the sump pump. To ensure efficient water removal, we installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, a powerful and reliable unit designed to keep the basement dry during even the heaviest rainfall. To protect the system year-round, especially in colder months, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line. This essential component prevents backups by allowing water to escape even if the exterior discharge line freezes. With the full waterproofing system in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, protected basement and lasting confidence in their home’s foundation.

We installed WaterGuard first, this interior drainage system captures incoming water and directs it to the sump pump, preventing moisture buildup, protecting the foundation, and keeping the basement dry and healthy year-round.

Next, the crew installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, designed with a powerful pump, durable liner, and airtight lid, this system ensures the space stays dry during heavy rains and protects against future moisture intrusion.
