Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Brooklyn, NY homeowner was in need of a new sump pump system, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an estimate. System Design Specialist, Carlos, provided a thorough inspection of the basement and recommended the TripleSafe Sump Pump System as the best solution. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System can pump over two thousand gallons of water per hour when set to its highest level, thus protecting the basement from heavy floods. It's backup battery also keeps the system functioning during a power outage. We also paired the TripleSafe with the WaterGuard French Drain. The homeowner was very pleased with the final results!

A homeowner in Brooklyn, New York was looking to install a sump pump in their basement. They reported having moisture coming in through the walls as well. Water and moisture can get into the basement because of loose and poorly compacted soil surrounding the foundation. During periods of heavy rainfall, the soil becomes saturated and creates hydrostatic pressure. This pressure pushes water through the basement walls and floors. 

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, JC Gibriano, provided an inspection of the home and helped them with a plan. He suggested they install a new sump pump system, as well as a French drain system. Our foreman, Jonathan Neira, installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump which has three sump pumps in one sump liner. The sump pump effectively pumps out water and the third pump is a battery operated pump that kicks in if the power goes out. The sump pump also has an airtight enclosed lid to keep moisture out of the basement. The foreman also installed the WaterGuard Drain System which sits on top of the footing instead of alongside it. This is vital because it keeps the wet dirt from getting into the drain because the drain doesn't sit in the mud. WaterGuard will catch any water and drain it to the sump pump system.

This homeowner in Brooklyn, New York has been a loyal customer of Quality 1st Basement Systems for over five years!

Each year, our service team provides annual maintenance for homeowners who own our sump pump systems. To ensure the system is provided a proper cleaning, our service team uses the sump pump vacuum.

Homeowner had an existing sump pump system that for many years would keep their basement dry. Over time, due to lack of maintenance, the pump began to fail. The homeowner could no longer rely on the system to protect their basement from flooding. 

System Design Specialist, Jay, did a full inspection of the basement and recommended a new system that would be able to protect the size of this large space. Our TripleSafe Sump pump system has three built-in pumps providing the ultimate protection for this size. Our Sump Pump is protected by a liner to prevent clogging or damage so that it may always run successfully. An alarm system is built into the airtight lid to alert the homeowner of any issues.

The homeowner also decided that since they would finally have a system they can trust and would provide them with peace of mind, they decided to invest in our EverLast Walling Panels to create a usable and comfortable space in their basement.
