Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer had a finished basement that had 3 bedrooms, but before these bedrooms could become livable spaces, there needed to be an emergency exit in play. The customer reached out to us to install 3 Egress windows, one in each of the bedrooms. Egress windows are not only good for a quick and safe way to exit the basement in case of an emergency, but these windows also allow in a lot of natural light, making the bedroom brighter, causing you to use less electric via having the light on during the day. 

The customer chose to have 3, Slider Egress Windows with Rockwells and Rockwell Covers installed along with WellDucts that would tie in to the current waterproofing system.

This new homeowner needed help with the basement door entry and had a lot of water at the bottom of the stairwell during heavy rain. We installed our TrenchDrain to prevent flooding at the basement door and redirects any future water to our WaterGuard drainage system that connects to the sump. 

For this home, we were able to turn this damp, leaking basement wall into a dry, moisture-free space. We had a team go out to install our WaterGuard drainage system, which is designed to effectively resolve basement flooding issues. Our drainage system is made to capture vapor, moisture, and wall leakage from our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which then flows down into the sub-floor drain. The drain system then connects to the sump pump that will pump out any unwanted water from the home. 

This homeowner reached out regarding an attachment to the home that collects water in the entrance way whenever there is a heavy rain. To prevent any further flooding, we installed our TrenchDrain with a feed line that flows directly to the sump pump. By attaching a line from the drain to the sump pump, this will prevent any type of flood, drain clog and installed flush to the sub-floor, making it a non tripping hazard. 

A homeowner in Lancaster, PA began noticing water seepage in their basement, which over time led to increasingly damp and uncomfortable conditions. What started as occasional moisture soon turned into a persistent issue that affected the overall environment of the space, causing concerns about mold, air quality, and potential damage to personal belongings. Wanting a reliable, long-term solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st.

Upon inspection, our team identified the key sources of water intrusion and developed a comprehensive waterproofing strategy tailored specifically to the home’s needs.

To fully resolve the issue, our crew installed a custom-designed system that included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively collect and channel water away from the foundation. We also integrated our TripleSafe Sump Pump for maximum water removal and backup protection, CleanSpace Wall Panels to block moisture and enhance the basement’s appearance, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels. Together, these high-performance components created a powerful, integrated solution. As a result, the basement was transformed into a dry, clean, and inviting space, restoring comfort for the homeowner and providing lasting peace of mind!
