Before & After Photos

Concerns about repeated water seepage and noticeable floor sagging led a Bear, DE homeowner to seek out a permanent solution before more serious structural problems could develop.

Upon inspection, Quality 1st identified two primary issues, foundation settlement compromising floor stability, and groundwater intrusion through the wall-floor joint and porous basement walls. The combination posed a significant risk not only to the home's structural integrity but also to the indoor air quality due to excess moisture and the potential for mold growth.

To resolve these issues, our team implemented a dynamic waterproofing and foundation repair system. We began by installing our WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter to capture and redirect groundwater to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which offers triple-layer protection, including a battery backup. CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to act as a moisture barrier and guide wall seepage into the drainage system, while IceGuard was installed on the discharge line to prevent freezing-related backups. Finally, to stabilize the sagging floor and address the foundation settlement, we installed our SmartJack Support System, providing adjustable, long-term support.

With these solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a structurally sound, dry, and healthy basement environment!

What started as small cracks in the basement walls quickly turned into a serious concern for this Wilmington, DE homeowner. With signs of foundation settlement worsening and water beginning to seep in, it was clear the problem wasn’t going away on its own. Wanting a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted the professionals at Quality 1st.

Our team conducted a full inspection and developed a custom repair plan that addressed every issue from the ground up.

We began by installing our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect any incoming water before it reached the basement floor. Next, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were added to improve energy efficiency and create a clean, moisture-resistant barrier along the walls. To ensure long-term protection against flooding, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, offering triple-layered defense, even in the event of a power outage. Finally, we stabilized the failing walls with our EverBrace Wall Restoration System, a powerful solution that permanently reinforces deteriorating foundation walls.

The result is a basement that’s not only dry and energy-efficient but also structurally sound and built to last!

A homeowner in Telford, PA was looking to repair their basement wall from bowing inwards, so they called Quality 1st Basement Systems to repair it.

This wall repair system will not effect the homeowners plans to finish their basement in the future. CarbonArmor will secure the foundation walls in place and prevent future movement. 

In Pedricktown, NJ, a homeowner became concerned about the growing cracks and bowing conditions along their basement walls, which were threatening the structural integrity of their home.
