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!
A homeowner in Brooklyn, NY contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems after discovering water seeping in forming puddles in their basement. Our System Design Specialist, JC Gibriano, inspected the area and suggested our WaterGuard French Drain System and Smart Sump Pump would be the perfect solution. With both products combined, the basement will always be dry and secure. Since the installation was completed, the homeowner did not experience any other water issues in their basement.
A homeowner in Brooklyn, NY, reached out to Quality 1st for assistance in safeguarding their finished basement from water damage due to leaks. Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the existing waterproofing system to determine how we could best assist. We proposed an upgrade to the home's waterproofing with the installation of a new sump pump and drainage system. The SuperSump was implemented to enhance the water disposal capacity, ensuring it can effectively manage high volumes of water. To facilitate proper drainage into the new sump pump, we installed WaterGuard Perimeter Drains below the floor's surface. This solution provides a clear channel for water removal, ensuring that heavy rainfall and foundation leaks will no longer pose a threat to the basement. We assured the homeowner of a dry and healthy living space, free from potential concerns.
