Challenge

A Bronx, NY homeowner noticed troubling signs of foundation settlement and moisture intrusion compromising their basement, which raised concerns about potential mold growth and structural damage. Seeking a dependable solution, they turned to Quality 1st to evaluate the problem and provide a lasting repair plan tailored to their home’s unique needs.

Solution

Our team conducted a thorough assessment to identify the exact causes of water seepage and foundation movement. Using these findings, we developed a comprehensive strategy that included installing our patented StarPipe Drainage System to effectively redirect groundwater, along with a TrenchDrain System positioned at the basement entryway to block surface water. Inside the basement, Drainage Matting and CleanSpace Wall Panels were applied to create a moisture-resistant barrier, while our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump was installed to swiftly remove any accumulated water. To address the foundation settlement, our SmartJack Support System was installed, providing strong, adjustable steel supports that stabilized uneven floors and prevented further movement. These advanced waterproofing and structural reinforcement solutions transformed the basement into a secure, dry, and stable space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and long-term protection against future damage.
