Before & After Photos

When a basement starts to feel more like a damp cave than a usable space, it’s time for a permanent solution. That was the situation for this Milltown, NJ homeowner, who noticed rising moisture levels and inadequate drainage creating ongoing basement problems. Concerned about potential water damage, mold growth, and the long-term health of their home, they turned to Quality 1st for a professional waterproofing solution.

Our team conducted a detailed assessment of the basement, identifying all points of water intrusion and evaluating the space for structural and moisture-related vulnerabilities.

Based on this evaluation, we designed a fully customized waterproofing and finishing plan to protect and enhance the basement. The crew installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain System to capture and redirect water, paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump for reliable flood protection. To create a clean, durable interior, we added mold-resistant CleanSpace and EverLast Wall Panels, along with ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring that resists water and warping. Finally, our IceGuard Discharge Line was installed to prevent freezing backups during winter.

Together, these systems transformed the basement from a damp, unfinished area into a fully finished, dry, and protected living space built to last!

This Madison basement would leak during rain storms and water vapor would enter through the basement walls making the space humid and unusable. Quality 1st Basement Systems waterproofed this basement using WaterGuard and an UltraSump sump pump. CleanSpace wall liners were used to prevent water vapor from entering the basement. This basement no longer floods and does not have a wet, musty smell.
