Before & After Photos

Persistent moisture problems had begun to affect a basement in Martinsville, NJ, as repeated heavy rainfall led to water accumulation along the walls and floors, creating concerns about structural stability, mold growth, and long-term dampness. Recognizing the need for a permanent and lasting solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional evaluation. Our team performed a detailed inspection to identify the sources of water intrusion and assess the overall condition of the basement before recommending a tailored approach.

Based on our findings, we designed a customized waterproofing solution to address the home’s specific challenges. The plan included installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to provide dependable and efficient water removal, and CleanSpace Wall Panels to establish a durable vapor barrier while improving indoor air quality.

Once installed, these systems worked together to eliminate ongoing moisture issues, strengthen the home’s foundation protection, and transform the basement into a clean, dry, and healthy space, giving the homeowner long-term confidence and peace of mind!

During the annual maintenance visit at this home in Martinsville, Service Technician Nelson checked all of the previously installed SmartJacks to make sure that all jacks were in solid contact with the overhead beams and in good condition. He found it necessary to tighten some of the SmartJacks that had loosened over time with settling soils or movement. Once again, the homeowner could have peace of mind knowing that the SmartJacks were providing crawlspace foundation support!

Sump pumps can become dirty and laden with sand or silt as ground water passes through to be pumped out of the living area. It is important to have annual maintence performed on basement waterproofing systems to keep them operating effectively and efficiently. Service Technician Nelson visited Martinsville, NJ to check this customer's SuperSump Sump Pump System. After removing the airtight lid, the pump system was disassembled for checking and cleaning. The pumps and their components were cleaned: Nelson cleaned the impellers, the breathing holes, the pump stands, the liner, and the lids. He replaced the check valves and replaced batteries in the WaterWatch Alarm System and reassembled the system. All clean, Nelson tested the system and left the homeowner with a sump pump system operating at peak performance, ready to pump out up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour with the primary pump! 

In Sea Isle City, NJ, a damp and musty crawl space troubled the owners, causing allergies to flare and insulation to falter, evident in the 'before' photo. 'After' captures our CleanSpace system transformation: a dry, encapsulated space free from moisture and musty odors. A definitive end to their concerns, ensuring a healthier atmosphere and peace of mind.

A homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st with concerns about their crawl space. They described issues of a persistent damp and musty smell throughout their home, as well as insulation that had seen better days:  sagging down and no longer effective. Knowing the importance of a clean and dry environment beneath their home, they needed a reliable solution, fast. After their initial call, we promptly arranged for one of our System Design Specialists to inspect the situation. We recommended an installment of our CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the crawl space, effectively sealing out moisture and preventing future growth of mold. Additionally, we suggested the installation of our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity levels and keep the area dry and healthy. To further ensure the crawl space remained effectively insulated, we included SilverGlo insulation on the walls, reflecting heat back into the crawl space and improving the home's overall energy efficiency.
