Before & After Photos

When moisture begins creeping into a basement, it’s often a sign that the home’s drainage system isn’t doing its job. That was exactly the challenge facing this homeowner in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, who began to notice damp conditions and musty odors spreading throughout their basement. Over time, groundwater had started seeping in through the wall and floor joints due to a lack of proper drainage support. Concerned about the potential for mold growth and structural damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a long-term and effective waterproofing solution.

After a detailed inspection, our experts designed a customized waterproofing plan that included the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System. Unlike traditional French drains, WaterGuard sits just below the basement floor slab and above the footing, ensuring it stays free from clogging soil or debris. This innovative design allows it to efficiently collect any seeping water and direct it straight to the home’s sump pump system for safe removal.

Once installed, the WaterGuard System immediately transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and comfortable environment, providing the homeowner with lasting protection and peace of mind for years to come!

In Egg Harbor Township, NJ, a homeowner noticed a large crack in the concrete of their crawl space that was causing concern. This issue not only allowed water infiltration but hinted at potential underlying problems. Using our proven FlexiSpan system, we effectively tackled this challenge by first applying a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack. We then layered a porous foam strip and secured it with an impermeable membrane. This process confidently channelled any future water safely into the drainage system, ensuring stability and dryness, as illustrated in the after photo.
