Challenge

A homeowner in Newark, DE, began noticing dampness along his basement walls following a series of heavy rainstorms. The moisture led to the early signs of mold growth, raising concerns about both property damage and indoor air quality. Alarmed by the situation, he reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for assistance. Our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection to address the issue. Our experienced system design specialist from our Sales Team, Chris conducted a detailed evaluation of the basement, confirming the presence of water intrusion and elevated humidity levels. It was clear that a comprehensive waterproofing and moisture control strategy was needed to protect the home and restore a healthy environment.

Solution

To fully address the homeowner’s concerns, our team developed a multi-layered solution. First, we installed our WaterGuard system, an interior drainage solution designed to collect and redirect water seeping through the walls and floor joints, preventing it from pooling inside the basement. To ensure effective and reliable water removal, we added the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, a powerful system that provides triple protection against water intrusion, including backup pumps for heavy water flow, power outages, and primary pump failure.

To maintain a dry and healthy air environment, we also installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This high-performance unit reduces humidity levels and actively improves air quality, helping to prevent mold and musty odors. Anticipating colder temperatures, we included our IceGuard discharge line system, which allows water to escape even if the pipes freeze, ensuring continued drainage throughout winter.

Thanks to the strategic combination of drainage, pumping, and air quality solutions, the basement was transformed from a damp, mold-prone area into a dry, comfortable, and protected space.
