Before & After Photos

This Brooklyn basement had water seeping in where the walls met the floors. Quailty 1st Basement Team Systems installed WaterGuard, a SuperSump sump pump, and Everlast wall paneling. The WaterGuard drainage channel will lead any incoming water to the SuperSump sump pump, which will then safely deposit the water outside of the basement. Everlast wall paneling restored the lower half of this basement wall, giving it a fresh new facelift. Everlast not only looks great, it is mold resistent and has a waterproof PVC coating that will keep it dry and moisture free. Now this Brooklyn basement will stay dry and clean!

If your sump pump resembles either of these photos, it may be time for annual maintenance! Our service team provided annual maintenance for this homeowner in Bronx, New York. We emphasize the importance of maintenance because it ensures the system operates properly.

Heavy rain was seeping through the basement walls of this home in Brooklyn, NY. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We provided a thorough inspection of the basement and recommended the WaterGuard French Drain and TripleSafe Sump Pump System would best suit the home. With both systems combined, the basement will stay fully dry and healthy all year round. Since the installation, the homeowner has not experienced any other water issues in their basement.

The persistent dampness and accompanying musty odors in a Brooklyn, NY basement signaled to the homeowner that a professional, lasting solution was needed for their ongoing water seepage issues. What started as a "pesky issue" had evolved into an uncomfortable and unhealthy environment, prompting the homeowner to seek the expertise of Quality 1st to permanently resolve the moisture intrusion. After an initial consultation, our certified team conducted a rigorous inspection, precisely locating the sources of the elevated moisture. This crucial assessment allowed us to move beyond temporary fixes and design a dynamic, fully customized waterproofing system tailored specifically to the home's needs and the challenging urban environment.

The tailored solution involved installing a suite of high-performance products designed to intercept, remove, and manage moisture from the foundation and the air. We began with the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which collects water seeping from the walls and floor-wall joint without sitting in the mud zone, preventing clogs. This water is channeled to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, a vital component with a three-pump design (including battery backup) to guarantee continuous, reliable discharge, even during power outages. To prevent exterior discharge line blockages from freezing, our IceGuard Discharge Line attachment was added for all-weather protection. Finally, the air and aesthetics were addressed, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier maintains healthy, low humidity levels to prevent mold, while our EverLast Wall Panels provide a durable, inorganic, and bright finish, ensuring the basement remains dry, healthy, and protected against future water seepage, delivering complete and total peace of mind to the homeowner.

Damaged basement walls repaired with the installation of our Zen Wall System. One benefit that the Zen Wall System offers is that they are washable, so keeping them clean is not a problem!
