Tuesday, July 15th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

When persistent water seepage started threatening the safety and structure of their basement, a Metuchen, NJ homeowner realized it was time to act before the issue spiraled into a costly repair. Damp walls and pooling water raised serious concerns about mold growth, wood rot, and long-term damage to their home’s foundation. Wanting a permanent fix—not a temporary patch—they contacted Quality 1st for expert help and assistance.

Solution

Our team quickly responded with a full inspection of the basement, identifying the key areas where water was entering and determining how best to protect the home moving forward. Based on our assessment, we developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the basement’s layout and water intrusion patterns. The solution featured our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which was installed around the interior perimeter to discreetly collect and direct water away from the foundation, keeping it from ever reaching the living space. To complete the system, we installed the highly dependable SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, designed to efficiently pump out any collected water and provide backup protection during heavy rainfall or power outages. Together, these two systems formed a comprehensive waterproofing solution that halted further seepage and protected the basement from moisture-related threats. With their basement now dry, safe, and healthy, the homeowner gained not only a structurally sound space but also the lasting confidence that their home is protected for the future.

To ensure the homeowner received the most effective and customized waterproofing solution, our System Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of the entire basement, carefully evaluating all areas of concern and identifying the specific sources of water intrusion.

We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation, preventing seepage and keeping the basement permanently dry.

The SuperSump Premier was also installed to provide reliable, high-performance water removal, protecting the basement from flooding and moisture damage even during heavy rains.
