Before & After Photos

After experiencing ongoing basement dampness due to an outdated sump pump, a homeowner in Westfield, NJ sought a reliable solution from Quality 1st to protect their home from water damage. Our team conducted a thorough inspection to assess the extent of moisture intrusion and identify vulnerabilities within the basement. Based on these findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan designed to address all problem areas effectively and restore the basement to a dry, healthy state.

The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, combined with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to provide powerful and dependable water removal. To prevent water from pooling around basement windows, we added a Window WellDuct. For added comfort and protection, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were installed to regulate temperature and resist moisture, while CleanSpace Wall Panels created a durable barrier to keep walls dry and inhibit mold growth. Finally, the IceGuard Discharge Line ensured continuous drainage even in freezing temperatures.

Together, these systems transformed the basement into a dry, comfortable space, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind!

Water seepage through a basement window and pooling near an outdated sump pump had become a serious concern for a Westfield, NJ homeowner. The excess moisture was making the space feel damp and uncomfortable, raising fears of potential rot, mold growth, and long-term damage. Feeling overwhelmed by the growing problem, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a permanent solution.

Our team conducted a full inspection and discovered that the basement lacked proper drainage and moisture protection, which led us to design a customized waterproofing and finishing plan.

To fully protect the space, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture seepage at the perimeter, paired with our powerful TripleSafe Sump Pump to handle large volumes of water. An IceGuard Discharge Line was added to prevent system backups during freezing conditions. To stop water intrusion at the source, we addressed the leaking window with our WellDuct System and replaced it with a durable Egress Window for improved safety and light. For added comfort and protection, we insulated the walls with SilverGlo Panels and finished the space using EverLast Wall Panels and CleanSpace Wall Panels, which resist moisture and brighten the room.

With these advanced systems in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy basement and lasting peace of mind.
