Eliminating Water Intrusion In Metuchen, NJ Basement

Monday, August 18th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Ongoing water seepage in a Metuchen, NJ basement had left the homeowner frustrated and concerned. The constant dampness not only made the space uncomfortable but also raised the risk of mold, musty odors, and long-term structural damage. Wanting to protect their home and improve the environment, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Solution

After a detailed inspection, our team designed a custom plan tailored to the home’s specific issues. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture incoming water at the foundation level and direct it to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for efficient removal. To provide additional protection during the winter months, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents water from backing up if the discharge pipe freezes. To complete the transformation, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, creating a bright, clean look while acting as a vapor barrier to block out moisture. With these advanced systems working together, the basement was fully restored to a dry, healthy, and usable space. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their home is protected from future water damage!

Our SuperSump Premier was installed to efficiently remove water collected by the drainage system, ensuring reliable, long-term basement dryness and protection.

IceGuard was added to prevent water backup during freezing conditions, allowing the sump pump to discharge water safely year-round-even if the line is blocked by ice.

We also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a moisture barrier on the basement walls, protecting against seepage while brightening and improving the overall appearance of the space.
