A homeowner in Lancaster, PA, reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems with a growing concern. His crawl space, previously encapsulated, had started flooding due to groundwater intrusion. He noticed pooling water and dampness, which indicated that the original encapsulation wasn’t holding up as expected. Eager to protect his home and prevent further issues, he wanted to know if there were any options to remedy the situation, such as a sump pump or another effective solution.

Our team promptly visited the property and performed a comprehensive assessment of the crawl space. During our inspection, we identified several issues with the existing encapsulation, including worn areas where moisture was seeping through. After thoroughly examining the space and understanding the groundwater conditions, we recommended a complete encapsulation upgrade using our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This solution is designed to withstand Lancaster’s groundwater challenges and would provide a stronger barrier against moisture, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind for the homeowner.

The homeowner appreciated the detailed explanation and trusted that our CleanSpace system was the right choice to keep his crawl space dry and safeguard his home against future water intrusion.

At Basement Systems, we recently had the opportunity to serve a homeowner in Lancaster, PA, who was facing moisture and leaks in their basement. The homeowner was concerned about the potential damage to their home and belongings and reached out to us for a reliable solution. Once the homeowner contacted our Customer Care team, we scheduled a home inspection to thoroughly understand the problem. Our System Design Specialist visited the home, inspected the basement, and identified the primary source of moisture and leaks. To address this issue, we proposed a combination of our proven products: WaterGuard for efficient basement drainage, CleanSpace for moisture barrier protection, and the SaniDry Sedona to control humidity and filter the air. The homeowner trusted our expertise, and soon after, our production team, consisting of a skilled foreman and installers, arrived to start the project. We began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement to capture water leaks from the walls and floor. Next, we applied the CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to block moisture and protect the basement's environment. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona system was set up to keep the air dry and healthy by removing humidity and filtering out any pollutants.

Recently, in Lancaster, PA, a homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st Basement Systems with a concern that’s more common than many think - step cracks in their block foundation basement. While the situation hadn’t escalated to leaking or bowing, it was clear that taking early action could prevent serious problems down the line. They knew it was time for expert intervention, and we were more than ready to help. Our first step was to send over one of our System Design Specialists. Upon a thorough inspection, it was determined that the ideal solution would be the installation of Push Piers. This method is specifically geared towards stabilizing and potentially lifting the foundation to its original position, all with minimal disturbance to the property. Once the plan was laid out, our customer felt reassured, knowing exactly what to expect. Our seasoned production team took charge of the project from there. Installing Push Piers requires precision and expertise, something that our crew has honed over countless jobs. Though the task was technical, our foreman ensured that the homeowner was kept in the loop, understanding the process without feeling overwhelmed by the jargon or scale of the work. Following the installation, the transformation was notable. Not only were the visible signs of foundation distress addressed, but we also provided the homeowner with the peace of mind that their foundation was secure.
