Before & After Photos

Moisture had steadily taken over the crawl space of this Middletown, NJ home, creating a musty, unhealthy environment that put the structure at risk. The homeowner, concerned about potential long-term damage such as mold, wood rot, and poor air quality, reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, permanent solution. Our team performed a full inspection and quickly determined that the outdated sump pump was no longer capable of managing the water levels, especially without a proper drainage system in place.

To resolve the issue, we implemented a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the crawl space’s specific needs. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter to collect and redirect incoming water efficiently. This was paired with our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, engineered to handle crawl space moisture with high performance and reliability. To ensure protection even during freezing temperatures, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents water backups if the line freezes.

With these powerful systems in place, the crawl space is now dry, protected, and built to withstand moisture year-round!

Frequent storms and heavy rainfall had taken a toll on this Middletown, NJ home, with the crawl space becoming a constant source of concern for the homeowner. Persistent water intrusion left the area damp, musty, and at risk for mold, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Realizing the issue required more than a temporary fix, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st to find a reliable, long-term solution that would protect their home through all seasons.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team designed a tailored waterproofing plan to address the specific challenges of the crawl space. We installed our patented StarPipe Drainage System to effectively capture groundwater and channel it away from the foundation, preventing water buildup beneath the home. To handle active water removal, we paired the system with our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, a powerful, crawl-space-specific pump equipped with a sealed lid and optional battery backup.

Working together, these systems now provide the homeowner with the ultimate protection against future moisture issues, transforming the once-saturated crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier environment!

The basement of this Port Monmouth, NJ home was leaking. The homeowners contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to waterproof their basement. Upon inspection, it was determined that the basement flooding had caused the sheet rock to grow mold. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system then replaced the damaged sheet rock with EverLast basement wall panels. EverLast panels are completely waterproof, insulate the basement, and look great. The owners are very happy with their now dry basement!

A homeowner in Middletown, New Jersey contacted Quality 1st because of the water that was entering the basement during heavy rains.

Our System Design Specialist inspected the basement and noticed the water entering. WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement, underneath the floor slab, on top of the foundation footing to keep the system out of the mud zone. WaterGuard collects the water that seeps through the basements walls and floors and pumps it out of the basement.

IceGuard was also installed outside the home, on top of the discharge line to provide water with a secondary escape route. When water is frozen the IceGuard allows water to escape through slotted openings in the drain pipe. This system ensures any water the sump pump is removing is safely cleared away from the home.  

Maintaining your sump pump system provides a full amount of protection, against water damage, for your home. Our service team provides thorough cleaning for the system to ensure it will not clog over the years.
