Before & After Photos

What began as occasional dampness quickly escalated into a significant concern for a homeowner in New Milford, NJ, as their basement transformed into a cold, wet, and unusable space. The persistent moisture was not only impacting the comfort of the home but also threatening its structural integrity and air quality. Wanting a reliable, long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for expert assistance. After a comprehensive evaluation, our team identified the underlying drainage deficiencies and designed a tailored waterproofing solution to address the problem at its source.

To stop water intrusion and manage future moisture, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is positioned along the interior perimeter to collect groundwater before it reaches the basement floor. That water is funneled directly into our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, a powerful, high-performance unit that ensures efficient water removal, even during heavy rainfall. To complete the project, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, providing a vapor barrier that helps prevent wall seepage while giving the space a clean, bright look.

This multi-system approach fully restored the basement, transforming it into a dry, healthy, and functional space, and giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind!

A homeowner in Union City, New Jersey was having foundation problems and contacted Quality 1st for a solution. Our System Design Specialist inspected the foundation and realized the foundation was in need of support. The floors above the foundation were sagging and were being held up by wooden posts.

SmartJacks were installed to support the sagging foundation and provides a permanent solution. The SmartJack system is installed by attaching steel support beams to the floor joists and a sturdy base at the floor. The SmartJacks can be adjusted at any time if the home requires it. This home is supported and the homeowners do not have to worry about their foundation being unsupported.

A Hoboken, NJ resident contacted Quality 1st Basements to waterproof and encapsulate their crawl space. After seeing many before and after pictures of crawl spaces similar to their, they knew that encapsulation was the answer and that Quality 1st Basements is the crawl space professionals they needed for this solution. 

Our Senior Design Specialist, Ken Peare, did a full inspection of the crawl space area and noticed high humidity and moisture. The walls were damp and a musty odor filled the entire crawl space area. Ken suggested a full encapsulation system to not only keep the crawl space dry but healthy. Protecting this area under your home from water keeps mold from growing. This will improve the quality of air!
