Challenge

As time progressed, this Wilmington, DE homeowner began to notice increasing levels of moisture in their basement, an issue that seemed to grow worse with each passing month. The dampness led to visible signs of mold growth and rot, which not only impacted the basement’s overall condition but also raised serious concerns about the potential for health hazards and long-term structural damage. Realizing the situation could escalate into something more severe, the homeowner decided to take action and reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent, effective solution.

Solution

Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, carefully assessing the moisture levels, the foundation, and any areas showing signs of damage. Based on our findings, we designed a tailored waterproofing strategy specifically suited to the homeowner’s needs. This approach included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and divert water from the foundation walls, ensuring that water would no longer pool in the basement. To provide complete water removal, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, offering powerful, reliable protection with a battery backup to handle even the most extreme conditions. To further enhance the basement's protection and ensure long-term dryness, we also added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which regulates humidity levels and helps prevent mold growth. Additionally, our CleanSpace Wall Panels were installed to create a moisture-resistant barrier, preventing water vapor from penetrating the walls. Together, these high-performance systems eradicated the moisture intrusion, restoring the basement to a dry and healthy condition. The homeowner now enjoys a safe, clean space free from the worries of mold and water damage, all thanks to the customized waterproofing solution provided by Quality 1st.

Our team of waterproofing experts provided the ultimate solution with our WaterGuard Drainage System, which created a clear channel to efficiently redirect water towards the homeowner's sump pump.

Next the crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump and CleanSpace Wall Panels for complete protection against water intrusion. The TripleSafe Sump Pump offers three levels of pumping power, including a battery backup, while our CleanSpace Wall Panels create a moisture-resistant barrier, keeping the basement dry, healthy, and mold-free.

Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels and prevent mold growth.
