Before & After Photos

Protecting your basement from water damage is easy when you have a reliable sump pump system installed. We installed our SuperSump Sump Pump System to protect this basement from the occasional water issues they were experiencing from time to time. 

A Hoboken homeowner wanted to fix crawl space dampness before it led to mold and structural damage. Our team installed StarPipe drainage, a SmartSump, and full CleanSpace encapsulation. The system now keeps the crawl space dry and sealed, protecting the home from moisture year-round.

This gym in Hoboken, NJ was facing water seepage in their basement, particularly during heavy rainfall. Although a sump pump had been installed, it was not effectively addressing the problem, and professional assistance was required to prevent further flooding. They reached out to Quality 1st Basements, who completed a comprehensive inspection and recommended the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which features three pumps to offer superior protection against water seepage issues. The gym owner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing that their business is safeguarded against potential water damage in the future.

This Ridgefield Park, NJ homeowner wanted to insulate their crawl space and so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for the job. The Q1 team insulated the crawl space with SilverGlo which is a heat barrier, keeping the warm air in and the cold drafts out. The team applied the SilverGlo to the rim joist as well because most of the cold air will find entry in from this part of the crawl space. TerraBlock was installed above the SilverGlo for extra insulation to prevent the cold air from coming up from the ground. Lastly, CleanSpace is applied over the TerraBlock, to seal the crawl space off from water vapor, moisture, and water, keeping the crawl space dry and providing the homeowner with a new area for storage. 

The WaterGuard Drainage System is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor. Unlike old-fashioned drain tile systems installed on the outside of the home, with the WaterGuard System, there is no gap on the basement floor to let humidity into the space or to collect debris. There is no opportunity for mud clog, because the system sits on top of the footing, away from the "mud zone" underneath your floor. Water is collected without the risk of clogs that would halt your system. Check out the difference with this before and after WaterGuard installation!
