Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Tackling Moisture Intrusion In Wilmington, DE

A homeowner in Wilmington, DE began experiencing increased basement moisture due to persistent water seepage following periods of heavy rainfall. Concerned about the long-term impact on their home, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional solution. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team designed a tailored waterproofing and support plan that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, the TripleSafe Sump Pump for powerful and reliable water removal, our SmartJack System to stabilize and support sagging floors above, and the WellDuct System to prevent water intrusion from window wells. These integrated systems worked together to eliminate moisture issues and reinforce the home's structure, leaving the basement dry, healthy, and comfortably livable.

Before Waterproofing

Our System Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection of the basement to identify the source of water intrusion and assess the overall condition, allowing us to develop the most effective and customized waterproofing strategy for lasting protection.

WaterGuard Drainage System

WaterGuard is designed to provide long-lasting protection against basement water intrusion by capturing seepage at the most common entry point, along the perimeter where the wall meets the floor.

WaterGuard Drainage System

Unlike traditional systems, WaterGuard is installed above the footing to prevent clogs and ensure smooth water flow to the sump pump. Its discreet installation beneath the basement floor keeps it out of sight while maintaining full functionality, helping to keep the space permanently dry, prevent structural damage, and create a healthier home.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

The TripleSafe Sump Pump System offers unmatched protection against basement flooding by combining three levels of pumping power in one durable unit. It features a primary pump for everyday water removal, a secondary pump that activates if the first pump fails or can't keep up, and a battery-powered backup pump that ensures operation during power outages.

SmartJack System

Made from galvanized steel for long-term durability, SmartJacks can support loads of over 60,000 pounds and are fully adjustable to ensure a precise, customized fit. This system not only restores structural integrity to the home by correcting uneven floors and preventing further settling, but it also helps prevent future damage, ensuring a safer, more stable living environment.

WellDuct System

The WellDuct System is designed to solve the problem of leaking basement window wells by providing a direct path for water to drain into the basement's waterproofing system.
