After experiencing the frustration and potential damage caused by damp conditions, they reached out to Quality 1st for expert help. Our team promptly conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, carefully evaluating the source and extent of the water issues to develop a customized plan tailored specifically to their needs.

Using the insights gathered from our inspection, we crafted a comprehensive waterproofing system designed to tackle every aspect of the problem. Central to the solution was the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which efficiently redirects water away from the foundation to prevent future intrusion. To protect the basement walls from moisture damage, we added our durable, moisture-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels. For reliable water removal, we installed our industry-leading TripleSafe Sump Pump, providing multiple layers of backup protection. To ensure the air stayed clean and dry, we included the energy-efficient SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which continuously removes excess moisture from the environment.

With these state-of-the-art systems working together, the homeowner’s basement was completely transformed into a dry, healthy, and worry-free space. Not only was the immediate water problem resolved, but the risk of mold, mildew, and structural damage was significantly reduced, allowing the homeowner to finally enjoy peace of mind.

Persistent water intrusion can quickly turn a basement from a valuable living or storage space into a constant source of stress. That was the case for a homeowner in Maplewood, NJ, who faced ongoing moisture issues that threatened their home’s structure and indoor air quality. Frustrated by repeated water seepage and concerned about potential long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent, professional solution.

After a thorough inspection by our System Design Specialist, the decision was made to install our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Engineered to deliver three levels of pumping protection, the TripleSafe ensures continuous operation, even during power outages, thanks to its built-in battery backup pump. To further enhance the system’s reliability, our crew also installed the IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents water from backing up into the basement if the exterior line freezes or becomes obstructed during cold weather.

The result was a fully protected, dry basement that the homeowner could rely on year-round. By combining advanced waterproofing technology with expert installation, Quality 1st not only resolved the immediate moisture problems but also provided long-term peace of mind.

In Maplewood, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us with a critical issue related to their existing pump system. Like many, they were concerned about potential power outages that could leave their basement flooded, causing significant damage. This prompted the need for a dependable basement waterproofing solution. We recommended two of our best solutions: the WaterGuard drainage system and the TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard system was expertly installed beneath the basement floor, cleverly designed to capture any water seepage before it damages the floor. This efficient, non-clogging drainage channel connected seamlessly to the TripleSafe sump pump, offering unmatched reliability. The TripleSafe system added a layer of security with its three-pump design, including an UltraSump battery backup, ensuring robust performance even during power outages. The installation was handled efficiently by our experienced production team who ensured the job site was clean and tidy upon completion.

In Maplewood, NJ, a homeowner found themselves facing a familiar and frustrating issue: water sneaking into their finished basement. Water trickled down their walls, threatening their carefully curated space. It became clear that water infiltration was mostly seeping through the foundation walls, compromising the basement’s integrity. After diagnosing the root cause of the issue, our expert recommended the installation of our WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump systems. Once agreement was reached, our seasoned production team stepped in. They got to work by discreetly placing the WaterGuard system below the surface. Installed around the perimeter of the basement, WaterGuard effectively rerouted water seepage, keeping it from soaking onto the floor. Concurrently, the TripleSafe Sump Pump system was set up, promising robust and immediate water expulsion even during power outages, thanks to the battery-powered backup.

In Maplewood, NJ, a homeowner found themselves in a tough spot due to a high water table that led to water seepage in their unfinished basement whenever it rained. They reached out to us recognizing our expertise in reliable and long-lasting basement waterproofing solutions. We started with a thorough home inspection, carried out by our experienced sales team, to diagnose the issues. Understanding the root of the problem enabled us to tailor a solution directly addressing both immediate and long-term concerns. To tackle the seepage, our production team installed our WaterGuard system. Nestled discreetly below the basement floor, this non-clogging drainage channel efficiently directs any infiltrated water to the new TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe system, with its innovative design, offers enhanced security by immediately expelling the water and ensuring continued operation, even in a power disparity, thanks to the battery-powered backup. 

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Maplewood, NJ, who was experiencing a common but frustrating problem: water seepage in the basement during heavy rains. The homeowner noticed persistent dampness and minor flooding on the basement floor, causing concern over potential damage to stored items and the room's usability. Upon receiving the homeowner's call, one of our knowledgeable representatives arranged a thorough home inspection scheduled at their convenience. Our inspection revealed that water was entering through the floor and walls, typical for a structure needing better drainage and pump solutions. We recommended a two-part solution: the WaterGuard drainage system paired with our TripleSafe sump pump. Our production team, comprising a skilled foreman and dedicated installers, took on the job. They carefully installed WaterGuard, an effective perimeter drainage system, beneath the basement floor and adjacent to the footing. This design allows WaterGuard to intercept water before it infiltrates the basement flooring, making it an ideal solution for persistent seepage. Simultaneously, our team fit a TripleSafe sump pump to ensure maximum efficiency in removing water from the home. This three-pump system guarantees productivity even during power outages, effectively handling any volume of water thanks to its robust design and battery backup. 

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Maplewood, NJ, who was experiencing persistent concerns with their crawl space. They reached out to us with a request for a vapor barrier to combat humidity issues, while also needing a cleanup of debris present in the space. Upon scheduling a home inspection, our dedicated sales team thoroughly evaluated the crawl space. The inspection clearly highlighted the pressing issue of moisture, which if left unaddressed, could foster mold growth, wood rot, and increased energy bills. Armed with a clear understanding of the challenges faced by the homeowner, our skilled production team got to work. They began by efficiently clearing out the accumulated debris, readying the space for a transformative solution. We installed the CleanSpace liner, offering robust protection against potential mold and mildew with durable and reinforced 20-mil material. Its installation is crucial in fortifying the home against continuous damp conditions. Next, the team enhanced the crawl space with the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Its integration simply meant reducing excess humidity, preventing undue allergen presence, and fortifying an upstairs environment from any creeping damp sensations. Finally, we fitted SilverGlo insulation on the crawl space walls. Its proficiency comes from incorporating cutting-edge R-11 insulation, confronting moisture while affording top-notch energy efficiency. 

A homeowner living in Maplewood, NJ noticed their crawl space was damp and smelly. A damp crawl space can cause many issues such as rotting wood, increased energy bills, and even mold growth. 

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and we sent our System Design Specialist Mike to provide an inspection. Mike suggested they encapsulate the space to prevent moisture from passing through the crawl space. 

Our foreman Erick and his crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is a thick and durable liner that will protect the crawl space from the earth's elements.

When the job was complete, the homeowner's peace of mind was restored and their crawl space is dry and healthy! 

An unfinished basement in Maplewood was used as many other basements are, for doing laundry and for storage.  The observant homeowner, however, noticed that in some areas of the walls, a yellowish discoloration was becoming gradually more evident, even though the walls were painted.  Some of the paint was even starting to bubble in places.  Wanting to put a stop to this seepage of groundwater, Amy searched the internet for help.  She used Angie’s list as a tool to find a top-rated company, she came across waterproofing experts Quality 1^st Basement Systems.  She called to arrange a free inspection and estimate appointment. 

Quality 1^st Basement Systems scheduled a waterproofing specialist to visit the homeowner and complete a thorough interior and exterior inspection of the basement.  He asked Amy some questions, answered hers, and then set out to provide the best solution to meet her needs.  He explained his recommendation and provided her with a free written estimate so she could make a well-informed decision about resolving her basement moisture problems.  

Amy decided to have Quality 1^st Basement Systems provide the permanent solution as proposed and as backed up by a warranty. The installation crew mobilized to Maplewood to fix the homeowner’s basement.  They installed a full-perimeter WaterGuard (to channel and direct any water seepage) and a TrenchLock trench drain (which spans doorways to collect water from outside and connects to the WaterGuard).   In addition, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed.  The TripleSafe system was proposed for installation as it includes an efficient primary pump, a back-up pump (in case the first one fails or if there is a need for extra pumping power), and a third battery-operated pump (designed to kick in if the power goes out).  IceGuards were installed on the discharge drains, too, to prevent a flood in the event that the lines freeze during the colder months.  Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet would help to discretely disperse the discharge water out into the lawn, away from the house.   

Amy’s worries about groundwater in her basement were eased.  The waterproofing system installed by Quality 1^st Basement Systems helped to create a more secure, drier basement.  

It’s essential for your home’s foundation to have structural integrity at all times.  Foundation cracks, house settlement, and bowing foundation walls are just a few ways that this can be compromised.  When Rachele H. saw foundation cracks in her basement, she searched online for a foundation repair contractor to fix her problem.

Quality 1^st Basement Systems’ foundation repair expert, Dan McNally, met with Rachele H. to assess the foundation cracks.  He determined that the cracks were from foundation settlement and that eight push piers should be installed.  To install the push piers, the foundation is excavated to expose the foundation footing and then heavy-duty steel foundation brackets are secured to your foundation’s footings.  After this, galvanized steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket to competent soils or bedrock, and then the weight of your home is transferred through the piers to load-bearing strata. 

 This process guarantees the permanent stabilization of your home’s foundation. Rachele H. no longer has to worry about foundation settlement or foundation cracks that were so apparent when she contacted Quality 1^st Basement Systems.  You too can have a safe, stable home with our expertise and top of the line foundation repair products. 

Linda M. recently purchased a home in Maplewood, NJ and soon after had a flooded basement.  She was referred to Quality 1^st Basement Systems by a friend, so she contacted them for a complete waterproofing system. 

Basement waterproofing expert Kenneth Peare went out to assess the water problem and recommended the WaterGuard interior basement waterproofing system, SuperSump sump pump, UltraSump batter backup, and IceGuard.  WaterGuard is a drainage channel engineered to specifically solve basement water problems without worry of clogging from soil beneath the basement floor.  This practically designed drainage system is effective in directing the flow of basement water to the SuperSump sump pump system. 

Each of these products that was installed works together to keep Linda M.’s basement dry even during harsh weather conditions and heavy rain.  Her basement is no longer a source of stress and is instead a dry, safe space to be in all year round!

 Crawl space moisture and water were becoming a major problem for Pam H.’s Maplewood, NJ home.  She needed help solving this problem and contracted her local waterproofing experts- Quality 1^st Basement Systems.  Kenneth Peare met with Pam H. to check out the crawl space.  He recommended the CleanSpace liner, SaniDry CX, and drainage matting to keep the space completely dry. 

Of these products, the homeowner chose to have the CleanSpace liner and Drainage matting installed by Marcello Sanchez and his team of trained installers.  The CleanSpace crawl space liner is a 20-mil crawl space vapor barrier that is installed on the floors and walls of a crawl space area.  This system is durable and long lasting to ensure a healthier, better preserved home.  In combination with the CleanSpace line, our drainage matting is a dimpled plastic mat material that creates a drainage space to help water find its way to the drain line.
