Glenside, PA's Trusted Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

A homeowner in Glenside, PA reached out after a recent storm left approximately one inch of water across nearly 75% of their basement, raising concerns about ongoing water intrusion. The basement had existing water issues, and the heavy rainfall exposed the need for a more reliable interior drainage solution to prevent future flooding. After evaluating the space, we recommended installing a WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water entering along the perimeter before it could spread across the floor. The WaterGuard system was professionally installed and connected directly to the home’s existing sump pump, allowing water to be safely collected and discharged away from the foundation. This solution now helps keep the basement dry during heavy storms and provides the homeowner with greater peace of mind moving forward.

Below the surface of a Glenside, PA home, early warning signs of water intrusion began to take shape within the crawl space. Persistent dampness along the foundation walls and insulation detaching from the ceiling indicated excessive moisture buildup, a condition that can threaten structural integrity and reduce indoor air quality if left unresolved. Understanding the importance of early intervention, the homeowner sought professional assistance from the experienced team at Quality 1st.

During our on-site evaluation, our specialists performed a detailed inspection to pinpoint moisture entry points and assess overall conditions within the crawl space. We took the time to educate the homeowner on how groundwater seepage and elevated humidity levels can impact a home over time, including wood rot, mold growth, and energy inefficiency. With this information in hand, we were able to develop a comprehensive understanding of the space and its specific waterproofing needs.

Based on our findings, we designed a customized waterproofing solution tailored to provide both immediate protection and long-term performance. The plan included installing our patented Drainage Matting to safely redirect water away from the foundation, along with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to create a durable seal between the crawl space and external moisture sources. These systems work together to prevent water infiltration while reinforcing the overall health of the crawl space environment.

To complete the solution, we installed our high-efficiency SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to actively control humidity levels and maintain dry, clean air throughout the space. This final step ensures year-round moisture management and helps protect the home from future water-related issues.

With the project completed, the homeowner gained lasting peace of mind, knowing their crawl space and basement are now fully protected by a professionally engineered waterproofing system designed to stand the test of time!
