Persistent moisture began to take its toll on a Bronx, NY basement as an outdated sump pump struggled to keep up with the high volume of water entering the space. Prolonged exposure to water not only threatens structural components but also creates conditions conducive to mold growth, wood rot, and reduced indoor air quality, posing risks to both the home and its occupants. Concerned about these long-term effects, the homeowner reached out to the waterproofing specialists at Quality 1st for a professional evaluation.
After a thorough inspection, our team identified the full scope of the water intrusion and designed a tailored solution to protect the basement from future issues. The plan included installing our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump System to efficiently manage high-capacity water flow and prevent flooding, along with our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to regulate humidity and maintain a dry, healthy environment.
Together, these systems provide reliable, long-term moisture control, safeguarding the home’s structure while improving overall air quality and peace of mind for the homeowner!
This homeowner was facing the burden of water seeping into their basement with rainfall, and wanted a solution to keep their space dry and protected. This particular home in East Elmhurst, NY was partially finished. Water seepage is a threat to any home, but for homes with partially or totally finished basements, this intruding water is even more alarming. Our System Design Specialist Carlos went out to the home to give it a thorough investigation and propose a solution. Luckily, our crew was able to follow through with a repair that would resolve this issue and help keep the space dry. Our Foreman Luis and our crew tackled this basement by installing WaterGuard along the perimeter beneath the basement flooring. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was also installed along the walls to keep any water leaks through the walls out of the basement space, and redirected down into the WaterGuard Drain. Lastly, the home was equipped with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to truly maximize the power of the water removal system. We left this homeowner with a dry basement and a big sense of relief!

A homeowner in Howard Beach, New York was experiencing water and moisture getting into their basement. This occurs because the poorly compacted soil around the foundation becomes saturated, creating hydrostatic pressure which causes water to be pushed through the walls. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our foreman, Esau Aquino installed the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier which will ensure that moisture does not get into the basement. Then, he installed the ThermalDry Basement Floor Matting which will protect the concrete floor from moisture below. ThermalDry matting is 100% waterproof, creating a vapor barrier on the floor. It also provides a thermal break that causes the surface of the floor to be warmer than the concrete floor. Now, the basement has a bright and fresh appearance, while keeping water and moisture out.
