Before & After Photos

This home had builder-grade fiberglass insulation on the basement walls. Fiberglass is organic and, therefore, not a good product to place against damp walls. The moisture content in the insulation will cause mold and drastically lower the R values, making it almost useless. We removed the bad insulation and installed FoaMax insulation boards. FoamMax will properly insulate this basement and also act as a vapor barrier. In addition to being a much better way to insulate foundation walls, they also look great and brighten up the whole basement.

This Coatesville, PA, homeowner noticed that during heavy rainfall, water was seeping through their basement window, creating damp and dreary conditions that threatened the integrity of the space. Concerned about the growing problem, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent solution.

After a thorough inspection was conducted, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect water away from the foundation, and TrenchDrain to manage water at entry points. We also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to act as a moisture barrier and improve air quality, along with our EverLast Window, which provides a waterproof, energy-efficient solution. To prevent future freeze-ups, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring the sump pump discharge pipe remains clear.

Together, these systems effectively eliminated water intrusion, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy space and providing the homeowner with a renewed sense of pride in their home!
