Before & After Photos

Faced with persistent water seepage that had worsened over time, a South Amboy, NJ homeowner grew increasingly concerned about the potential for structural damage and mold growth in their basement. Realizing that temporary fixes were no longer enough, they turned to Quality 1st for a long-term solution. After a thorough on-site inspection, our team identified the underlying issues and proposed a fully customized waterproofing plan designed to permanently address the problem.

The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to capture and redirect incoming water, paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, offering triple protection to ensure continued operation even during heavy storms or power outages. We also installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a vapor barrier and improve the basement’s appearance, and added our IceGuard Discharge Line to protect the system from winter freeze-ups.

With these components working in unison, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy basement and the peace of mind that comes with a reliable, professionally installed waterproofing system!

Initially, a homeowner in South Amboy, NJ began noticing troubling signs of foundation settlement within their crawl space, including weakened and sagging support beams. These conditions raised serious concerns about the overall structural integrity of the home, as unresolved settlement can lead to uneven floors and long-term damage. Wanting to protect their investment and ensure lasting stability, the homeowner reached out to the experienced structural repair specialists at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution.

After completing a thorough inspection, our team carefully evaluated the severity of the settlement and identified the underlying causes affecting the crawl space supports. Based on our findings, we designed a customized repair plan that included the installation of our patented SmartJack Support System.

Once installed, SmartJack provided reliable, adjustable support to lift and stabilize the weakened beams, fully restoring the crawl space to a secure, stable, and healthy condition while giving the homeowner renewed confidence in their home’s structural safety!

This homeowner from Laurence Harbor, NJ had moisture issues in their crawl space. The musty smell is what eventually pushed them to reach out to a specialist. The goal was to keep the space dry and healthy, so our System Design Specialist, recommended a full vapor barrier system. 

The team first installed Drainage Matting on the floor of the crawl space to eliminate any standing water with its textured grooves. Then, CleanSpace was installed to seal the dirt floor, keeping out moisture and water to eliminate the musty odors. Finally, a vent cover was installed on the opening of the crawl space, keeping out harsh temperatures and debris. 

The homeowner now has peace of mind that them and their family have a dry and healthy home. 

The SaniDry Sedona is a very efficient dehumidifier, removing excess moisture from the room. As it is also an air filtration system, it works hard to filter very small particles out of the air (like mold spores, dust, etc.) Service technician Chris ensured that the drain line was cleared, the drip tray was cleared, and the filters were replaced at this South Amboy residence. Regular maintenance helps keep the system in top-operating shape!

Service Technician Willie recently visited a homeowner in South Amboy, NJ to perform annual maintenance on the SuperSump. This system, capable of removing up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8 foot head, was disassembled, all components were cleaned, and the check valves were replaced. Lastly, Willie flood tested the system to ensure this wet basement solution continue operating efficiently and effectively!
