Challenge

A homeowner in Brooklyn, NY began to notice water seeping into their garage during rainy weather, which quickly raised concerns about potential water damage and mold growth. As the situation worsened, they realized that ignoring the issue could lead to costly structural problems and health hazards. Wanting a permanent and professional fix, they reached out to Quality 1st for professional help.

Solution

After a detailed inspection, our team discovered that surface water was pooling near the garage entrance and finding its way inside due to poor drainage. To combat this, we designed a customized waterproofing solution tailored to the home’s specific needs. We installed our patented TrenchDrain System along the garage threshold to capture and divert surface water before it could enter. To handle any remaining water, we also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, an advanced system that offers three layers of protection, including a battery backup to ensure performance during power outages. With the system in place, the transformation was immediate. The garage remained dry even during heavy rains, and the risk of mold or structural damage was completely eliminated. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and now enjoys total peace of mind knowing their home is protected by a reliable, long-term waterproofing solution!

Our crew installed the TrenchDrain System at the garage entrance to capture surface water, then connected it to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which was placed in a nearby pit to efficiently pump collected water away from the home.

TrenchDrain protects entry points by capturing surface water before it enters the garage, preventing flooding and water damage in vulnerable areas.

TripleSafe offers three layers of pumping power, including a battery backup, ensuring this home stays dry even during heavy rainstorms or power outages.
