Experienced Basement Waterproofing, Crawl Space Encapsulation and Foundation Repair Contractor in Hillsborough, NJ

Our team at Quality 1st Basement Systems recently tackled a persistent problem for a homeowner in Hillsborough, NJ. Their basement suffered from continuous water issues, especially during heavy rains, which resulted in a constant need to use a shop vac as their previous sump pump system just couldn’t keep up. The process began when the homeowner reached out to us for help. We promptly scheduled a home inspection to understand the extent of the water issues. Our representative from the Sales Team conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, identifying the recurring water intrusion problem. We recommended a comprehensive solution to ensure their basement stayed dry and usable. To address the water issue, our production team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump system in conjunction with WaterGuard, our effective interior drainage system. The TripleSafe system includes three layers of backup, protecting against standard pump failure, high pumping volumes, and even power outages with a battery backup. On the other hand, WaterGuard was installed to catch water intrusion below the basement’s surface, channeling any seepage from the foundation walls directly to the sump pump. Its non-clogging, discreet design keeps the basement floor obstruction-free while ensuring reliability. 

A homeowner in Hillsborough, NJ contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering their porch had sunk about two inches. We had our System Design Specialist, Jack Huber, inspect the area and provide a quote for the homeowner. 

After arriving at the home, on time, Jack provided a full inspection of the porch. Luckily, there were no cracks so the only repair was to lift the porch back to its original height. Jack presented this to the homeowner and recommended the Polylevel Injection would be the perfect solution. The homeowner agreed and another appointment was scheduled for our crew to repair the porch. 

One of the benefits of polylevel is that the installation process is less messy than mudjacking. Our crew drills small holes into the concrete slab and injects small structural-graded polymers into the void. Once the void has been filled the expansion of the polymers lifts the slab to the desired height. This process is repeated until the porch has been repaired. Finally, polylevel is waterproof, environmentally friendly, and takes fifteen minutes to recover. 

Since the installation, the homeowner did not experience any settling on their porch. They were very happy with the installation process and were fully satisfied with the results. 

A homeowner in Hillsborough, NJ was in need of replacing their waterproofing system. The homeowner has a finished basement, so they knew that a complete waterproofing system would prevent their basement from undergoing serious water issues. After searching on the Internet for solutions, the homeowner found Quality 1st Basement Systems and decided to contact them for a solution. 

The homeowner scheduled an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Javier Romero. Javier fully inspected the basement and, luckily, found there were no signs of water seepage. To guarantee the basement will stay fully secure, Javier strongly recommended our WaterGuard French Drain System and Smart Sump Pump. With these two products combined, excess water will be collected by the WaterGuard System and then pumped away from the basement by the Smart Sump Pump. 

In the end, the homeowner was happy with the results. The installation process was a success, and the fully waterproofing system is ready for action! 

Looking to make better use of her basement space, Sarah B. in Hillsborough, NJ contacted Quality 1^st Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate with a basement design specialist.

Kenneth Peare visited and suggested that Sarah install the SaniDry XP, an energy efficient dehumidifier and air filtration system to keep the humidity levels low and to trap dust and allergens in the basement.  Sarah was also interested in flooring.  She selected the tongue-and-groove Mill Creek mahogany flooring.  This plastic wood-look-a-like plank flooring is totally inorganic, which means that mold will not grow on it even if the humidity levels increase.  Sarah was pleased with the newly-created usable space in her basement.
