Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Columbus, New Jersey resident had an old and failing sump pump system. Their current sump pump was not properly  protecting this basement. It was not sealed or enclosed, which could cause water evaporation to get into the basement and cause mold. They called Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Greg Louis, suggested they install a new sump pump. Our foreman, Mario Barron, replaced the old sump pump with the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system has an airtight lid and will keep the basement dry and protected by draining out the water away from the home.

Check out this sump pump before and after in Columbus, NJ! We replaced this old sump pump with our SuperSump Pump System which will effectively pump water out of the basement, keeping it dry and healthy! Lets do a quick comparison: The existing sump pump has a plastic lid that does not properly seal the liner. The SuperSump has an airtight lid that protects the sump pump system inside. The old pump has a hole that allows water to evaporate back into the basement air. The SuperSump self drains and has an alarm system to alert the homeowner if it senses a problem.  

Recently in Cape May Court House, NJ, a homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st with a concern many in the region can relate to — their partially finished basement was a damp mess after heavy rains. Our recommendation? A comprehensive lineup of our trusted solutions: WaterGuard, a state-of-the-art interior drainage system designed to intercept water at its entry point, channeling it away discreetly. CleanSpace, our vapor barrier product covering the walls and preventing seepage into the room edges, coupled with the TripleSafe Sump Pump, capable of eliminating water with uncompromised efficiency, even in the most daunting downpours. 

Recently, we had the opportunity to provide our expertise to a homeowner from Cape May Court House, NJ. Their partially finished basement would become an unintentional indoor pool after heavy rainfalls. We proposed a comprehensive waterproofing system that included WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard would serve as an unseen below-floor drain, ingeniously capturing water at the basement's perimeter and directing it cunningly out of sight and harm's way. To shield the walls from moisture, lending to mold, and must and damp–we introduced CleanSpace, an impermeable barrier. Completing this system, the TripleSafe Sump Pump stood ready, equipped to handle the heaviest of downpours.

Along with waterproofing this homeowner's basement, we went along with replacing the basement windows as well. Their old windows were extremely dated and worn, causing leaks in the basement. We fitted custom egress windows to replace the old windows, ensuring the basement stays dry and the basement as a whole looks beautiful!
