Challenge

In Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, a homeowner had been battling persistent water seepage in their basement for several months, causing damage to belongings and making the space unusable for anything beyond storage. With the walls constantly damp and musty odors filling the air, it became clear that the problem wasn’t going away on its own. The homeowner tried various DIY solutions but none seemed to address the root cause of the water intrusion. Frustrated and determined to create a dry, usable living space, they decided to contact Quality 1st Basement Systems, hoping to finally find a permanent solution.

Solution

After an initial assessment, our team of professionals recommended a dynamic waterproofing plan that included the installation of our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels, WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our IceGuard Discharge System. The CleanSpace Wall Panels were installed to create a vapor barrier on the walls, effectively keeping moisture from seeping through and giving the basement a clean, bright appearance. Next, our WaterGuard Drainage System was placed around the perimeter to collect water that could potentially enter, and this water was then directed to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe system, with its three-pump setup, ensured that the basement would remain dry even during heavy rainfall or power outages, while our IceGuard Discharge System kept the discharge line free from freezing in colder months. The transformation was immediate and impressive. With the new systems in place, the basement was no longer plagued by water damage, musty smells, or dampness. Instead, it became a dry, healthy, and inviting space that the homeowner could now use for recreation, additional living space, or storage with complete peace of mind!

Project Summary

System Design Specialist: Javier Hoyos Romero

Foreman: Heriberto

Before waterproofing, our System Design Specialist conducted an extensive inspection on the basement, to identify key water entry points while also determining the most effective solution.

CleanSpace acts as a vapor barrier that seals out moisture and prevents mold growth, while WaterGuard efficiently captures and redirects water away from the basement, ensuring a dry, healthy, and protected environment for years to come.

Installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides unmatched protection for this homeowners basement with its three-pump setup, including a primary pump, a backup pump, and a battery-operated pump for potential power outages.

With built-in vents, IceGuard allows water to escape if the discharge line becomes blocked or frozen, preventing backups and protecting this basement from water damage, even in the harshest winter conditions.
