Challenge

Ongoing anxieties about indoor air quality and long-term structural damage began to grow for a homeowner in Winfield Park, NJ, as their basement showed clear signs of dampness and high humidity. Fearing the possibility of wood rot and mold development, they contacted Quality 1st in search of a professional, permanent solution that would restore the space and protect their home’s health.

Solution

Upon inspection, our team identified the root causes of water intrusion and crafted a customized waterproofing strategy to address both existing issues and future risk. The plan began with the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to intercept groundwater at the wall-floor joint and channel it directly to the sump pump. To ensure continuous protection, especially during power outages or high-volume storms, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, equipped with three layers of pumping power for added reliability. To further safeguard the basement, CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to create a sealed vapor barrier that brightens the space and prevents wall seepage. Finally, our team installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity levels, eliminate musty odors, and improve overall air quality. With these advanced systems working together, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and protected basement, along with long-term peace of mind.

We installed our WaterGuard System to capture and direct groundwater away from the basement, preventing future leaks. CleanSpace Wall Panels were also added to create a vapor barrier, protect against wall moisture, and brighten the space for a cleaner, drier environment.

The crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide triple the protection against flooding, with a primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery backup to ensure the basement stays dry, even during heavy storms or power outages.

Our SaniDry Sedona was added to control humidity, eliminate musty odors, and prevent mold growth, creating a healthier, drier environment throughout the basement.
