In Yardley, PA, a homeowner encountered an all-too-common issue: their partially finished basement began accumulating water, particularly around the sump pump area. We implemented our WaterGuard drainage system, a state-of-the-art sub-floor product designed to intercept water from foundation walls and floor joints. Unlike traditional French drains, WaterGuard is resistant to clogging, thus providing a reliable channel for water to flow to the sump area. Complementing this, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system, renowned for its multi-layered protection. Comprising three pumps including a battery-backup in case of power failures, TripleSafe ensures any volume of water is efficiently managed, even in challenging weather conditions.
After several rainy seasons, this Yardley, PA homeowner began to notice that their basement was retaining moisture and developing a persistent damp smell. The lower portions of the basement walls showed signs of water damage and discoloration, raising concerns about mold growth and potential structural issues down the line. Wanting to protect their home and restore the space, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and long-term solution.
Our team conducted a full inspection and discovered that ongoing water intrusion was damaging the finished basement walls, compromising both the appearance and the health of the space. To resolve the issue, we installed our EverLast Finished Wall Restoration System, a moisture-resistant, mold-proof panel designed specifically for basements. This system not only replaced the damaged sections but also added a clean, finished look that’s built to last.
With EverLast in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy basement that’s protected from future moisture issues and looks better than ever!
The owner of this home noticed that he had moisture and dampness coming from his crawl space. Quality 1st Basement Systems inspected the crawl space and determined that the cold air and moisture was due to the dirt floors of the crawl space. The installation team installed CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space in addition to a SuperSump sump pump which will pump any water out of the crawl space and away from the home. The homeowner has noticed that the air above his crawl space is warmer and does not smell musty!
A homeowner in Mt. Olive, New Jersey, was looking to have it's old sump pump replaced as its life expectancy came to and end. Water would weep down the sides of the walls and puddles of water would form after heavy rains. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent out System Design Specialist, Travis Radford, to inspect the affected area. Travis recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump to permanently keep the basement dry. The TripleSafe sump pump system keeps your basement dry with triple the protection. Most sump pumps fail because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water or power failure. The TripleSafe assures protection from all three sump pump problems. The homeowner was very content after the installation knowing the basement was protected from any future water intrusion.
A homeowner in Budd Lake, New Jersey was experiencing water seeping through their basement walls and floor. This occurs because the soil around the home is loose and poorly compacted, and becomes saturated during heavy rainfall. A wet basement can have many negative effects such as damp carpets, musty smells, increased energy bills, and even mold growth. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman, Mario Barron, installed the SuperSump Pump Classic which will effectively pump water out of the basement. This sump pump has an airtight enclosed lid, to keep the moisture from getting into the basement air. The foreman also installed the WaterGuard Drain System, which sits on top of the foundation footing to keep it out of the mud zone. This system catches the water and drains it to the sump pump.
