Dark stains on the walls, musty odors, and pooling water were becoming more frequent, prompting the homeowner to seek out a permanent solution before the damage escalated further. Turning to Quality 1st, they hoped to not only stop the moisture but also restore the safety and comfort of their home’s lower level.

At this property in Middletown, DE the homeowner was experiencing rain buildup in their Egress Well that was leaking into the basement after heavy rain. The owners had also recently purchased a temporary pump to help with the problem, but too much water was filling up. We went out to the home and installed our SuperSump pump system in the window well, as well as a whole new window well drainage system that will keep the basement from getting water in during heavy rain. Our SuperSump system includes the Zoeller M53 cast iron pump that will adjust to your pumping needs, keep your basement dry.

At this recently purchased property in Middletown, DE, moisture was building up in the lower part of the home and causing the basement to get humid. We installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is the most effective and high-performance system that will hook into the sump pump system, so you will never have to drain it yourself. This device stops mold growth, odors and eliminates the humidity that creates that muggy feeling. This dehumidifier not only keeps the basement dry but also keeps the whole house dryer and healthier. 

At this home, the owner reached out to Basement Systems regarding a non-working sump pump system and had muddy water coming up through the floor where the walls meet whenever it would rain. Alongside the perimeter of the foundation wall, we jackhammered a trench in order to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that will capture the seepage coming through. Once the water carries down into the sub-floor drain, it will go into our SuperSump System that will safely pump out water from the home, keeping your basement dry.
