Over time, the damp conditions worsened, leading to unsightly iron ochre stains on the walls and floor. The homeowner knew that these moisture issues could lead to more severe damage, including potential mold growth and structural concerns, so they decided to reach out to Quality 1st for a permanent solution to protect their home.

Upon receiving the homeowner’s call, our team at Quality 1st quickly scheduled a comprehensive inspection of the basement. After assessing the severity of the moisture issues and understanding the homeowner's concerns, we developed a customized waterproofing plan designed to address all the underlying causes of the water intrusion. Our expert team recommended several of our most advanced systems to ensure long-lasting protection against future moisture problems.

The solution we proposed included the installation of our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System to stabilize the foundation and prevent any further settlement. We also installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which effectively channels water away from the foundation, and TrenchDrain, a drainage system designed to catch water that enters through doorways or low spots. To protect the walls, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which create a moisture-resistant barrier and prevent any future water seepage from entering the basement. 

Finally, to ensure continuous and effective water removal, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump and SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, providing the homeowner with a reliable, multi-tiered pumping system. Additionally, to protect against cold weather and ensure consistent drainage, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line. With these proven solutions in place, the basement was fully restored to a dry, healthy environment, and the homeowner could finally rest easy knowing their basement was protected from further moisture issues!

With a desire to finally make this space livable, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a professional solution to restore and finish their basement.

After thoroughly assessing the space, our team at Quality 1st recommended a combination of our patented EverLast Wall Panels and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, which are designed to provide both moisture protection and aesthetic appeal. We began by installing the EverLast Wall Panels, which offer a moisture-resistant barrier that prevents mold and mildew growth while providing long-lasting durability. These panels are specifically designed for basements, ensuring the walls remain intact and protected from the constant moisture typical in below-grade spaces.

Next, we added ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, a high-performance, waterproof flooring solution that complements the EverLast Wall Panels.

This persistent water infiltration led to a damp, musty environment that made the space uncomfortable and unusable.

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st, seeking a reliable and effective way to address the moisture problem.

This window is specifically designed to provide a secure, well-sealed barrier that prevents water from entering the basement, even during heavy rains or storms. Additionally, the RockWell system is built with durable materials that resist both water intrusion and deterioration, offering long-term protection for the home.

At Quality 1st, we recently had the pleasure of assisting a homeowner in Newark, DE, whose existing french drain system was no match for the relentless heavy rain storms they were experiencing. Understandably, this was causing them unnecessary stress and concern for the well-being of their home. They reached out to us, hoping for a durable solution and a worry-free reassurance. As with all our projects, the journey to a dry basement began with our Customer Care team, who quickly coordinated a home inspection to delve into the root of the issue. Our System Design Specialist, Chris paid a visit, inspecting every inch of the basement area. The diagnosis? The overwhelmed french drain system required a robust upgrade to effectively manage the water issue. The recommendation was clear: install our reliable WaterGuard system and the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The second part of their relief came as our proficient production team arrived on-site, equipped, and ready to transform their basement into a dry, safe space. The WaterGuard system was strategically installed around the perimeter of the basement floor to catch water at its most likely entry points before it even hits the surface. Then, the TripleSafe Sump Pump, a powerhouse of moisture management, was put in place to ensure water collected from the WaterGuard gets efficiently expelled away from the home, no matter the volume of incoming water. 

This Newark, DE, homeowner had been dealing with constant water seepage in their crawl space, which was causing damp conditions, musty odors, and concerns about mold growth. The moisture in the crawl space was not only affecting the air quality inside the home but also risking the structural integrity of the foundation. Fed up with this ongoing problem and eager to protect their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a reliable solution to eliminate the water seepage once and for all.

After an in-depth inspection of the crawl space, our team determined the best course of action would be to install a combination of effective systems that would work together to keep the area dry and moisture-free.

Next our crews first step was to install our patented Drainage Matting, a key component designed to allow water to flow freely toward the homeowners designated drainage system. The matting creates a protective layer beneath the crawl space floor that helps efficiently channel water away from the foundation, preventing moisture buildup and water damage. Following this, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the crawl space. This advanced system was strategically placed to capture any incoming water and direct it to the sump pump, ensuring the crawl space remained dry, even during heavy rainfall or seasonal changes.

To complete the system, we added our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, specifically designed for crawl space applications. The pump effectively removes any water that is collected by the Drainage Matting and WaterGuard system, ensuring that water is continuously redirected away from the crawl space and foundation. Equipped with a powerful pump and a battery backup, the SmartSump guarantees that the crawl space remains dry, even in the event of power outages.

The transformation of the crawl space was remarkable. With the combined installation of the Drainage Matting, WaterGuard Drainage System, and SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, the crawl space was completely dry, healthy, and secure. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, knowing their home was now protected from the damaging effects of water seepage. The air quality improved, mold growth was prevented, and the foundation was safeguarded, allowing the homeowner to have peace of mind and a more comfortable living environment!
