Before & After Photos

After enduring weeks of heavy rainfall, a Philadelphia, PA homeowner began noticing troubling signs in their basement, sagging support beams, uneven floors, and a growing sense of instability. Concerned that these were signs of foundation settlement, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment.

Our team conducted an extensive inspection and confirmed that water-saturated soil around the home had caused the foundation to shift, compromising the structural support within the basement.

To resolve the issue, we designed a targeted repair plan that addressed both the cause and the damage. We installed our RainChute Downspout Extension to direct rainwater away from the foundation, reducing soil saturation and preventing further settlement. To restore stability inside the home, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System beneath the weakened beams, precisely adjusting each jack to lift and reinforce the floor structure.

With the new systems in place, the basement is now fully stabilized, and the homeowner can enjoy renewed confidence in the safety and longevity of their home!

Persistent dampness is often the first sign that a basement needs immediate attention, and this Philadelphia, PA homeowner recognized the warning early. Ongoing water intrusion had become a growing concern, as prolonged moisture exposure can lead to structural deterioration and mold growth if left unaddressed. Wanting to protect their home and restore confidence in their basement, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Following a thorough inspection, our System Design Specialist identified how water was entering the basement and designed a customized plan to control and redirect it effectively. The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to manage foundation-level water, a TrenchDrain System to capture surface water in vulnerable areas, and our high-performance SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to reliably discharge water away from the home.

Working together, these systems now provide long-lasting protection and peace of mind against future water seepage!

This basement had a lot of obstacles and a low ceiling. But we can still make it look nice. With size doors, painted ceiling, and insulated thermal flooring, we can transform a basement into a beautiful dry, and useable space.

At this row home property, we installed our SuperSump pump system with a Zoeller M63 cast iron pump. This will include an airtight lid with flood drain, a CleanPump stand and a WaterWatch alarm system to indicate power loss, breaker trip or if water rises above the level intake. The SuperSump is installed at the lowest part of the basement and is surrounded by our WaterGuard sub-flooring drainage system that lies under the CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier. Our CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier catches any wall leakage or moisture coming from the cement foundation, having it flow down to the WaterGuard and into the SuperSump pump. 

This Philadelphia homeowner reached out to us for basement waterproofing and structural repair. This portion of the project showcased is the structural repair.

One section of this customer's home had sagging floors and felt like the area had movement. After further investigation, it was discovered that this particular portion of the home did not have the support it needed to withstand the weight of everyday traffic from above. Our solution is Smart Jacks with SmartJack Supplemental Beams!
