Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A minor basement nuisance had slowly grown into a persistent and disruptive problem for a homeowner in Philadelphia, PA. Water seepage continued to make its way inside after every rainfall, raising concerns about long-term damage, mold growth, and the overall health of the space. Realizing the issue would only worsen without a permanent solution, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for expert help.

Once on site, our team carefully inspected the basement and quickly identified the precise source of the moisture, allowing us to engineer a tailored waterproofing plan that addressed the problem at its root.

To protect the basement from future water intrusion, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and paired it with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for reliable, high-performance water removal. CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to provide moisture-resistant protection along the walls, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity levels under control and prevent mold growth.

With these advanced systems working together, the once-damp and worrisome basement was transformed into a dry, healthy, and comfortable living space the homeowner can now enjoy with confidence!

Customer hired another contractor to install an egress, but it went all wrong. We stepped in and repaired the the work and installed a code-approved egress window system.

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.
