Targeting Water Intrusion In Princeton, NJ Basement

Wednesday, December 10th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Recently, a Princeton, NJ homeowner began noticing that their basement was consistently damp, with moisture forming along the walls and small pools appearing on the floor after rainfall. Concerned about potential structural damage and the risk of mold growth, they sought a professional and lasting solution from Quality 1st to protect both the basement and the overall integrity of their home.

Solution

Our team conducted a detailed inspection to identify the exact sources of water intrusion and assess the condition of the basement’s existing drainage and wall systems. Using this information, we developed a fully customized waterproofing strategy designed to address every aspect of the problem. The plan included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to intercept groundwater and our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to reliably remove water from the basement, ensuring the space remained dry even during heavy storms. To further enhance the basement environment, we installed our SaniDry Dehumidifier and Aspen Air Purifier to maintain optimal humidity levels and improve air quality, reducing the risk of mold and allergens. EverLast Wall Panels were added to provide durable, moisture-resistant protection for the walls, creating a long-lasting and low-maintenance finish. Together, these systems transformed the basement into a safe, dry, and healthy space, giving the homeowner complete peace of mind and confidence in the lasting protection of their home!

We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect groundwater before it could reach the basement floor. This system provides reliable perimeter drainage, preventing water from causing structural damage or persistent dampness.

Our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump was chosen for its high-capacity, dependable performance. It quickly removes collected water, keeping the basement dry even during heavy rainfall or unexpected power outages.

EverLast Wall Panels were installed to replace moisture-prone walls with a durable, mold-resistant solution. These panels protect against water damage, rot, and mold growth while providing a clean, low-maintenance finished surface.
