Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing Solution In Philadelphia, PA

Recently, a homeowner in Philadelphia, PA was experiencing increasingly high levels of moisture in their basement, a result of ongoing water seepage caused by periods of heavy rainfall, which prompted the homeowner to contact Quality 1st for a reliable and long-term solution. After arriving at the home, our team thoroughly inspected the space and was able to create a tailored waterproofing plan that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, and our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels. With these systems securely in place, we effectively eliminated further water intrusion from occurring and in return transformed this basement into a dry, healthy, and pleasantly inviting environment the homeowner can now enjoy for years to come!

Basement Water Seepage

Basement water seepage is often caused by a combination of factors, including poor drainage around the foundation, heavy rainfall, and high water tables. As water accumulates outside, it can find its way through cracks in the foundation or the floor, especially if the existing sump pump system is outdated or inefficient. Inadequate grading, clogged gutters, or improper landscaping can also direct water toward the foundation, leading to unwanted moisture in the basement. Regular maintenance and professional waterproofing can help prevent these issues from worsening.

During SuperSump And WaterGuard Install

The crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System by carefully creating a trench along the perimeter of the basement floor, just above the foundation footing. This design prevents clogging and allows water to flow smoothly to the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which we installed in a newly excavated sump pit.

The Benefits Of SuperSump

The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump is designed to provide reliable, long-lasting protection against basement flooding. Equipped with a powerful pump, it efficiently removes water from the basement, while its airtight lid keeps out moisture and odors. With features like a heavy-duty pump and an optional battery backup, the SuperSump will ensure this basement stays dry even during potential power outages.

The Benefits Of WaterGuard

The WaterGuard Drainage System is a smart, long-term solution for basement water problems. Unlike traditional drains, WaterGuard sits just above the foundation footing-out of the "mud zone"-to prevent clogs and ensure smooth water flow. It collects water from both the walls and floor joint, directing it to your sump pump before it can enter the basement.

CleanSpace Wall Panels

Made from durable, waterproof material, our CleanSpace Wall Panels act as a vapor barrier-sealing out humidity while directing any wall seepage into the homeowners drainage system. They're washable, maintenance-free, and give the basement a finished look without the worry of water damage. Ideal for damp or unfinished basements, CleanSpace helps create a healthier, drier living environment.

Dry And Protected Basement

Thanks to the skill and dedication of our expert team, along with the implementation of advanced waterproofing techniques, this basement has been completely transformed. What was once a damp and vulnerable space is now fully restored-dry, structurally sound, and safeguarded against further moisture issues!
