Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Springfield, NJ had a finished basement that was starting to show signs of water seepage after a day or two of rain. They needed a solution and wanted to hire a waterproofing professional to ensure the job was done correctly. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent System Design Specialist, Mike PettyJohn, out to perform a full inspection and provide a permanent solution. Water was seeping through the foundation wall causing damage to the wood paneling. Our team installed our WaterGuard French Drain System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and IceGuard Discharge Line. A full perimeter waterproofing system will create a dry and healthy space under your home by stopping water and moisture from causing damage. 

What started as small cracks and damp corners soon turned into a major concern for a homeowner in Springfield, NJ. They began noticing visible signs of foundation settlement, such as bowing walls and widening cracks, paired with rising moisture levels throughout the basement. These warning signs raised red flags about the structural integrity of the home and the potential for long-term damage. Wanting to protect their investment and avoid future complications like mold growth or water damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a lasting, professional solution.

After performing a detailed inspection, our team developed a customized repair plan targeting both structural and waterproofing issues. To reinforce the bowing walls, we installed our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, which uses strong carbon fiber straps to permanently stabilize the foundation without the need for excavation. For water management, we placed the WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter and a TrenchDrain at key entry points to collect and redirect intruding water. We also addressed leaking window wells with our Window WellDuct System and completed the solution with the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard Discharge Line for reliable year-round water removal.

The combined result was a dry, stable, and secure basement, offering the homeowner renewed peace of mind and long-term protection for their home.

Homeowner in Englishtown, NJ faced water entering his basement through the window and basement floor.  A Quality 1st System Design Specialist determined that the solution to the wet basement would be the TripleSafe Sump Pump.  The TripleSafe consists of three sump pumps in one which means that should one sump require back up, the TripleSafe will do the job, even during power outages due to the battery operated third pump, which will prevent basement flooding at all times for this Englishtown homeowner!
