Job Stories From Odessa, DE
Targeting Moisture Concerns In Odessa, DE Basement

Recently, a homeowner in Odessa, DE, had been dealing with persistent water intrusion in their basement. During heavy rains, water would seep in along the walls and floor joints, leaving behind damp spots, musty odors, and the constant worry of mold growth and damage to the home’s foundation. Frustrated and concerned about the long-term effects of these issues, the homeowner decided it was time to seek professional help. They contacted Quality 1st in hopes of implementing a reliable and permanent solution.

Our team promptly scheduled an on-site inspection to assess the extent of the moisture problems and identify the best course of action. During the evaluation, we discovered that groundwater was entering the basement due to hydrostatic pressure around the foundation and inadequate drainage systems. Based on these findings, we designed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the unique layout and challenges of the home. Our goal was to not only stop the water intrusion but also to create a dry, healthy space that the homeowner could feel confident in.

To address the issue at its core, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement floor. This system is specially engineered to capture water at the foundation wall-floor joint and channel it safely to the sump pump. We also installed a TrenchDrain System at critical entry points, such as around the stairwell and exterior doors, to intercept surface water before it could reach the interior. CleanSpace Wall Panels were applied to the basement walls to act as a vapor barrier, preventing wall moisture from entering the space and improving the overall appearance of the basement.

For maximum protection, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, a highly reliable system equipped with three pumps for primary, secondary, and battery backup operation. This ensures continuous performance, even during power outages or high-volume water events. To further enhance the drainage efficiency, we also added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents freezing and backup in colder temperatures.

With these systems working together, the homeowner's basement was transformed from a damp, problematic area into a dry, usable, and healthy space. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and relieved to have a long-term solution in place.
