Before & After Photos

Concerned about recurring water seepage in their basement, this Newark, DE homeowner began noticing signs of moisture that could lead to structural damage and mold growth.

Wanting a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for expert help. Our team performed a detailed inspection and designed a custom waterproofing system to address the problem at its source.

To protect the space, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, ensuring reliable removal during heavy rainfall. For additional protection, our IceGuard Discharge Line was added to prevent freezing and blockages in colder months, while CleanSpace Wall Panels created a moisture-resistant, finished surface. These proven systems now work together to maintain a dry, healthy, and functional basement, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and long-term protection for their home!

This basement had several problems. The foundation wall was starting to bow inward, so we installed CarbonArmor Straps to reinforce the wall and prevent it from continuing to bow. We also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump along with the WaterGuard Drainage System to take care of the water that was entering the basement. To finish the job, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls. CleanSpace works in conjunction with WaterGuard and keeps water from entering the basement by catching any moisture that may come through the walls and directing it into the WaterGuard system, where it will either evaporate or drain away into the sump.

CleanSpace has the added bonus of brightening up your basement. It’s a fast and economical way to cover ugly basement walls. CleanSpace Wall is washable, durable, and can conform to bumpy walls, and it is installed using permanent, drilled-in fasteners, so it stays put for a neat, clean appearance.

This customer had a monolithic foundation, which prevented us from cutting the floor near the foundation wall to install a traditional sub-floor waterproofing system. So we installed a DryTrak cove channel system with a TripleSafe Sump System. We also installed a sub-floor drainage system towards the middle of the floor to deal with hydrostatic pressure.

This customer had a humid, dingy, and dirty crawl space. We installed our SaniDry - Upright XP, drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Now, this once dirty space can be used as storage.

This customer had a semi-finished basement; they were not yet ready to fully finish the basement, but wanted to somehow cover up the bare concrete walls, just make it look cleaner and presentable. We had the perfect product for this, it is called Basement to Beautiful. Basement to Beautiful wall panels foam panels( made from our Silver glo Foam insulation) that feature metal studs and have a clear vapor barrier so they can never grow mold or rot like conventional insulation and wood studs. The Basement to Beautiful panel is not a finished panel, but can easily pair up and have one of our Everlast Wall Panels installed over it.
