Brick, NJ Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair & More

In Brick, NJ, we completed a waterproofing project in the basement of a preschool where water was entering the finished, below-grade lower level through the floors. Because the space is actively used by children and staff, it was critical to create a reliable, long-term solution that would keep the area safe, dry, and usable. After evaluating the water intrusion, our team installed a WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture groundwater before it could spread across the finished space. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to ensure consistent and dependable water removal, even during heavy rain events or power outages. With these systems in place, the basement is now properly protected from water intrusion, allowing the preschool to operate with confidence knowing the lower level is dry and secure.

Overtime, troubling signs of moisture began appearing in the basement of a Brick, NJ home as inadequate drainage allowed water to accumulate along the foundation. The persistent damp conditions created an environment that could lead to structural decay, mold growth, and compromised indoor air quality if left unaddressed. Recognizing the seriousness of the issue, the homeowner sought a permanent and professional solution from the experts at Quality 1st Basement Systems.

After arriving on site, our team conducted a extensive inspection to determine the exact source and pathways of the water intrusion. By carefully evaluating how water was entering and moving through the basement, we gained a clear understanding of the underlying drainage deficiencies. This detailed assessment allowed us to move forward with a targeted approach rather than a temporary fix.

Using our findings, we designed a fully customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs. The solution included the installation of our patented TrenchDrain and WaterGuard Drainage Systems to effectively capture and redirect incoming water away from the foundation before it could spread across the basement floor. These systems work together to relieve hydrostatic pressure and provide consistent, long-term water control.

To ensure reliable water removal under all conditions, we paired the drainage systems with our high-performance TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard Discharge Line. The TripleSafe offers multiple levels of protection, including a battery backup, while IceGuard ensures uninterrupted operation during freezing temperatures. Together, these high-performance solutions eliminated ongoing seepage concerns and restored the basement to a dry, protected environment, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home’s durability!

This Brick, NJ homeowner was experiencing ongoing water intrusion in the basement, with water coming through visible cracks in the cinderblock foundation, particularly during heavy rains. Upon inspection, a horizontal crack and noticeable wall bowing were found, indicating hydrostatic pressure pushing against the foundation walls. In addition to the water concerns, the structural integrity of the wall was at risk if left unaddressed. To resolve both the waterproofing and structural issues, we installed a WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water at the wall-to-floor joint and direct it safely away from the basement. A SuperSump system was added to reliably pump water out and protect the basement during heavy rain events. To stabilize the bowing wall and prevent further movement, we installed PowerBraces, which permanently reinforce the cinderblock foundation and help restore long-term structural stability. This comprehensive solution addressed both the water intrusion and the underlying structural concerns, leaving the basement protected and secure.

A commercial property owner in Brick, NJ noticed that after each rainfall, the crawl space, accessible from outside and roughly 18 inches high, would develop dampness and visible moisture on the walls, raising concerns about long-term humidity, air quality, and potential structural impact. Since moisture in a crawl space can contribute to mold growth, musty odors, and deterioration of materials, the owner wanted a permanent solution to protect the building and avoid ongoing issues. Our team installed WaterGuard along the crawl space perimeter to capture any water intrusion, paired with a SuperSump system for reliable pumping performance during wet weather. We also lined the crawl space walls with CleanSpace to create a durable vapor barrier that locks out moisture and helps control humidity.

To fix these issues, our crew installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a durable vapor barrier that completely seals the crawl space from moisture.

This homeowner in Brick, New Jersey noticed their pool patio was sinking and becoming unlevel. This happens because concrete is often poured over poorly compacted soil. Over time, this soil settles and creates voids underneath the concrete. This can be dangerous because a friend or family member can trip and injure themselves.

The homeowner made a call to Quality 1st Basement Systems after receiving a ValPak in the mail. Our customer service representative was able to book them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Laura McIntyre, and Laura provided an inspection. Upon her inspection, Laura noticed how the pool patio could be a dangerous tripping hazard. Laura suggested they use polyurethane foam to lift and level the sinking slab.

Our foreman, Luis Aguirre, arrived at the job site and began the process of using the PolyLevel Injection System. This process is achieved by drilling small, penny-sized holes in the slab and injecting the foam to fill the voids and lift the slab.

Darlene M. from Brick, NJ was concerned when she saw water on her basement floor and wall.  Upon a closer look, she noticed that the water was making its entrance through the window.  Darlene needed a permanent fix so she called Quality 1^st Basement Systems.

The specialist found an open-topped, weed-filled, metal window well around Darlene’s problem window.  This type of window well typically allows rain water and/or gutter overflow to enter the well area and seep toward the window and foundation wall.  Also, the open top lets debris in and the dirt on the bottom of the well is suitable for uninvited growth. The Quality 1^st Basement Solution, a SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure, would eliminate these issues.

Darlene’s water problems in the basement (and weed-filled wells) were resolved with the installation of the durable plastic SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure with sturdy, clear plastic cover. Darlene earned an additional benefit from this solution:  added brightness to the basement from the sunlight reflecting off the light-colored well enclosure!  Darlene was happy she called Quality 1^st Basement Systems to resolve her problem.
