Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer had some concerning levels of moisture in the finished basement and noticed that mold was on a vent with an area of damp walls. Here we installed our SuperSump pump system with Zoeller M63 cast iron pump liner with an airtight lid that pumps out any water from the home. Then we installed our WaterGuard sub-flooring drainage system around the perimeter to capture any future water seepage and wall leaks. Lastly, we installed a Tuff top sump lid to hide the unit under the carpet of the finished basement. 

A homeowner in Philadelphia, PA, was struggling with relentless moisture intrusion in their basement due to multiple wall cracks that led to recurring water damage and damp, unhealthy conditions. Frustrated and seeking a long-term fix, they reached out to Quality 1st for help.

Our experienced team promptly evaluated the problem and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to efficiently capture incoming water and channel it safely away from the home's foundation. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, creating a durable, moisture-resistant barrier that shields the basement walls from water seepage and potential mold growth.

The result was a dramatic transformation: a dry, clean, and secure basement environment that gave the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in the long-term health of their home.

In this finished basement, water was coming through the wall under the stairwell and had nowhere to go. The team went under the stairwell to dig out a trench along the foundation wall to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drain. The drain lies at the bottom of our CleanSpace Vapor barrier, which captures the wall seepage coming through and carries it down the floor drain. The vapor barrier is a white poly sheet material that completely covers the foundation part of the wall, creating an effective moisture barrier. 

In Philadelphia, PA, a homeowner began facing persistent water seepage in their basement, which posed a significant risk of rot and mold growth, threatening the structural integrity of the home. Concerned about the long-term damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a long-term waterproofing solution.

Upon arrival, our team quickly got to work by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter, effectively capturing and redirecting water away from the foundation. We also added our TrenchDrain System to manage water flow near doorways, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which included a primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup for added reliability. To seal and protect the walls, we installed our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels, ensuring a moisture-proof barrier.

Together, these systems successfully eradicated further water intrusion issues, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected space for the homeowner to enjoy for years to come!

After dealing with recurring basement moisture and water intrusion, a homeowner in Philadelphia, PA, reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting solution. During our inspection, we identified key areas where water was entering, particularly along the foundation walls, floor joints, and near the basement entryway.

To address this, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively collect seepage along the perimeter, and a TrenchDrain at the entrance to capture surface water before it could spread inside. These systems were connected to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which features three pumps for maximum reliability, including a battery backup to ensure continued performance during power outages.

In order to further protect the system, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, designed to prevent backups caused by frozen discharge pipes during the colder months. For interior wall protection and moisture control, our team installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier while directing any wall moisture into the drainage system. To finish the space with a durable and aesthetically pleasing touch, we installed EverLast Wall Panels, resistant to mold, water damage, and wear over time.

With all components working together, the basement is now fully protected against water intrusion and ready for safe, dry use.
