Before & After Photos

MillCreek Flooring and BrightWall basement wall panels were installed in this Bergen County residence after Quality 1st Basement Systems waterproofed the basement walls. MillCreek Flooring looks just like wood, but it's not! It is totally inorganic which means it will never be affected by water. Being a professional basement finishing contractors, we know the importance of materials when remodeling any part of the basement. This homeowner wanted the peace of mind knowing that if she ever had a leak in her Cresskill home, she would never have to replace the floors, but they still look great!

A homeowner in Cresskill, NJ contacted us hoping for a solution to their ongoing water issues in their basement. Every time it rained water would seep through the walls and up from the floor, leaving them with a mess. Overtime the basement became a damp and musty place in their home. 

System Design Specialist, Steve V., met with the homeowner and did a full inspection of the basement. Once he had completed his inspection, he sat down with the homeowner to design a solution that fit the basements needs and the goals the homeowner wanted to accomplish with a system. 

The goal was to install a system that could handle the amount of water they were getting in their basement every time it rained. They wanted peace of mind that their basement and the items in it were protected. Lastly they wanted a company that they could trust to maintain the system so that it would last for years to come. 

With help from Steve V, Foreman Luis and his team, Quality 1st Basements was able to protect this home. 

This homeowner from Cresskill, NJ had dampness in their basement and had some surface mold on their insulation. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended SilverGlo and StarPipe. 

The insulation was removed from the crawl space and replaced with SilverGlo that helped insulate the crawl space so it was a stable temperature and wouldn't be damaged by moisture. StarPipe was installed around the perimeter of the crawl space to collect groundwater and direct it away from the foundation.

The homeowner now has peace of mind and can enjoy their newly renovated crawl space. 

What started as a growing concern beneath the home quickly became a call for expert intervention when persistent rainfall led to elevated moisture levels in a Cresskill, NJ crawl space. Aware of the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st in search of a reliable, permanent solution. Our team responded with a comprehensive inspection, carefully evaluating the crawl space conditions and identifying the sources of moisture intrusion affecting the home.

Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing system designed to provide lasting protection. This solution included the installation of our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels to help regulate temperature and resist moisture, along with our StarPipe Drainage System to effectively collect and redirect water away from the crawl space. To ensure dependable performance even during freezing conditions, we also installed our IceGuard Discharge Line. With these advanced systems working together, moisture issues were fully resolved, leaving the homeowner with a healthier crawl space and long-term peace of mind.

A homeowner in Tappan, NJ noticed their old sump pump was no longer operating properly, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to hear about options they had for a full replacement. For this size basement, we recommended our SuperSump Pump System which will effectively pump water away from the basement to help keep it dry. The Super Sump has a pump that sits inside the protective liner. The airtight lid prevents water from evaporating back into the basement air preventing musty smells and mold.
