Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Thorndale PA customer reached out to Basement Systems USA because they were in the market for a new sump pump with a battery backup. We came out to his home and upgraded him to a SuperSump with an UltraSump Battery Backup. The SuperSump quietly pumps 2,650 gallons per hour and in case of a power outage, the UltraSump will turn on automatically and will alarm to tell you you are running on the backup. The UltraSump will pump 12,000 total gallons out on a new, fully charged power pack.

Recently, we completed a basement waterproofing project for a homeowner in Thorndale, PA, who contacted us after experiencing repeated issues with water collecting in their basement. Our solution was to install the SuperSump system. The SuperSump combines various advanced components, including a powerful Zoeller cast iron pump known for high-volume water removal, and an alert system designed to notify when water levels become concerning. The design also includes a robust, airtight lid that ensures safety and keeps out unwanted elements like insects and odors.

Uncontrolled water infiltration can pose serious risks to a home’s foundation and indoor environment, and this was the challenge for a homeowner in Avondale, PA who was experiencing persistent basement seepage caused by poor drainage and heavy rainfall. Left unresolved, these conditions can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and compromised indoor air quality. To address the issue, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems, where our System Design Specialist Ryan conducted a thorough inspection to determine the precise source of the water intrusion and assess the best long-term solution.

Based on our findings, we developed a fully customized waterproofing plan that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to channel water safely away from the foundation, a TripleSafe Sump Pump paired with an IceGuard Discharge Line to efficiently remove excess water, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels. By integrating these advanced systems, we were able to eliminate further moisture issues, restore the basement to a dry and healthy condition, and provide the homeowner with lasting protection and peace of mind for years to come.

In Avondale, PA, an older home was dealing with water entering the unfinished basement through floor cracks during heavy rains. We installed WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona to control water intrusion and reduce moisture throughout the space.
