Challenge

In Westampton, NJ, a homeowner was dealing with persistent moisture intrusion in their garage that had become more than just a nuisance, it posed a real threat to the structure and indoor air quality of their home. The constant dampness raised concerns about mold growth, wood rot, and damage to stored items, making it clear that a lasting solution was necessary. After exploring their options, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st, seeking a professional team capable of tackling the issue at its root.

Solution

Our experts performed a thorough inspection of the garage to pinpoint how and where water was entering the space. We discovered that moisture was seeping in through the foundation and pooling at low points, creating an environment ripe for deterioration. Based on these findings, we designed a comprehensive waterproofing system tailored to the garage's specific needs. This included installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter to collect wall and floor seepage, and a TrenchDrain at the garage entrance to stop surface water from flowing inside. To complete the system, we installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to effectively remove collected water and discharge it safely away from the home. For added protection in colder months, we included our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent backups if the exterior line freezes. With this multi-layered waterproofing solution in place, the homeowner can now enjoy a dry, clean, and structurally sound garage, eliminating their moisture worries for good and preserving their home’s value and health.

We installed TripleSafe to provide the homeowner with maximum protection against basement flooding. This system features three pumps for triple the reliability, including a battery backup pump to keep water out even during power outages.

To stop surface water from entering through vulnerable areas like doorways and stairwells, we installed our TrenchDrain system. Its grated design captures water at ground level and channels it directly into the drainage system.

The crew also added IceGuard to safeguard the sump system during freezing temperatures. This specially engineered fitting allows water to escape even if the discharge line becomes blocked with ice, preventing system backups and ensuring continued water removal in cold weather conditions.
