Before & After Photos

This homeowner had water issues in the basement with rain and melting snow. Although there was a sump pump present, water was still coming in through the wall and the floor. Quality 1st replaced the sump pump with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The team removed the lower part of the drywall that had water damage and replaced it with EverLast Wall Restoration. These panels are mold resistant and waterproof so the homeowner never has to worry about water leaks ruining the walls again.  

Quality 1st gave this basement a more finished look by installing ZenWall Panels. ZenWall is an insulated wall panel that will help keep the basement warm and dry because it works with the perimeter drain to direct water from the walls where the leak is straight down into the waterproofing system. The homeowner was so happy that they were able to make their unfinished basement look its best.  

ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring is a smart option for finishing a basement floor. It is made from inorganic materials and therefore does not decay or promote mold growth yet looks very attractive.

Recently we assisted a homeowner in Caldwell, NJ, who decided it was time to implement basement finishing methods in their basement bathroom, to improve the overall integrity as well as the visual appeal of the space. 

Once our team arrived at the home, they began installing our specially patented EverLast Wall Paneling System, these durable panels are 197% stronger than drywall with stud construction, cannot be damaged by moisture and will not support mold or mildew growth.

With a 50-year long warranty, this basement bathroom will remain dry and protected for many years to come, delivering this homeowner with a renewed sense of pride in their home!

Recently, in Rahway, NJ, a homeowner eager to transform their basement into a functional living space found themselves at a standstill due to ongoing water intrusion. Every storm brought moisture into the area, making it impossible to move forward with finishing plans. Frustrated but hopeful, they contacted Quality 1st for a reliable solution.

After a detailed inspection, our team identified the sources of water entry and designed a custom waterproofing strategy tailored to the home’s specific needs. We installed our TrenchDrain System to intercept surface water and paired it with our WaterGuard Drainage System to manage water along the foundation perimeter, ensuring effective, long-term moisture control.

Once the basement was properly waterproofed, we shifted focus to finishing the space with materials built to last. Our team installed BrightWall Panels to give the walls a clean, polished look while providing moisture resistance. For the floors, we used ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, which offers the aesthetic of hardwood with the durability to handle basement conditions. To complete the transformation, we added EverLast Wall Panels, combining style with resilience.

The end result was a beautifully finished, dry basement that the homeowner could finally enjoy, completely free from the worry of future water damage!
