Quality 1st Basement Systems serving Media, PA

This Media, PA, homeowner had been battling persistent moisture intrusion in their basement for months, especially after heavy rainfall. Each storm brought new challenges, as water seeped through the walls and floor, leaving the basement damp and musty. The homeowner was deeply concerned not only about the visible water damage but also about the potential for mold growth and the long-term effects of constant moisture on the structure of the home. Despite trying various temporary solutions like using store bought dehumidifiers and plastic sheets, the problem persisted, making the basement uncomfortable and unusable. The homeowner knew they needed a more permanent, professional solution to restore the basement to a safe, dry condition.

After contacting Quality 1st, our team quickly arrived to assess the situation. We identified that the water seepage was coming from both the floor and the walls, a problem that needed a comprehensive solution. We recommended our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which would be installed along the perimeter of the basement floor. The WaterGuard system is designed to capture and direct water away from the foundation, preventing water from infiltrating the basement in the future. To complement this, we suggested the installation of CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a durable vapor barrier that prevents moisture from seeping through the walls and adds a clean, bright finish to the space. Finally, to ensure the water would be effectively removed, we proposed installing our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which is specifically designed to handle heavy water removal, keeping the basement dry even during the most intense rainfall.

Once the homeowner approved the plan, our team went to work, installing the WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter of the basement floor and ensuring it was properly connected to the sump pump. We then installed the CleanSpace Wall Panels, carefully sealing them to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls. Finally, the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump was installed in a strategically chosen location, with its powerful pump ensuring any water collected by the WaterGuard system would be quickly and efficiently removed from the basement. After the installation was complete, the homeowner was thrilled to see the immediate transformation. The basement was now dry, healthy, and protected from further moisture intrusion. With this dynamic waterproofing system in place, the homeowner could finally enjoy a clean, dry basement without the constant worry of water damage!

When a homeowner in Media, PA, reached out to us at Quality 1st, their older home’s crawl space was in desperate need of winterization and a comprehensive clean-up. Concerned about the coming colder months, they wanted to ensure their home's foundation was not just insulated but also protected against moisture hazards. Our System Design Specialist, understanding the unique needs and challenges of an older home’s crawl space, recommended a two-fold solution: installation of CleanSpace and SilverGlo. CleanSpace encapsulation is essentially a heavy-duty, durable liner that seals off the crawl space from earth moisture, unwanted pests, and outside air, maintaining a dry and energy-efficient environment. On the other hand, SilverGlo, an insulation product, combines highly effective graphite-infused insulation panels with a radiant heat barrier surface, ensuring the crawl space remained warm and properly insulated through winter, ultimately contributing to lower heating costs and a more comfortable living space above.
