Before & After Photos

Water seepage in their basement had become a constant problem for a Livingston, NJ homeowner, largely due to an outdated sump pump that was unable to keep up with the increased water volume entering the space. Frustrated by ongoing moisture and the potential damage it could cause, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a professional, lasting solution. Our team conducted a thorough inspection to understand the scope of the issue and tailored a waterproofing plan specifically to meet the home’s needs.

Central to this plan was the installation of our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, a powerful and reliable system designed to handle high water volumes efficiently. Featuring advanced protection elements like an airtight lid and a high-water alarm, this sump pump ensures continuous operation even during severe weather or power interruptions.

With this upgrade in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, secure basement and peace of mind knowing their home is protected against further water intrusion!

What started as minor damp spots in a Livingston, NJ basement quickly signaled a more serious problem, cracks in the walls were allowing water to seep in, creating the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage. Concerned about the integrity of their home, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional, permanent solution. After conducting a detailed assessment, our team was able to identify the exact sources of water intrusion and develop a fully customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

To address the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture groundwater along the perimeter, paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump for reliable water removal even during heavy rain or power outages. Our FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System sealed and reinforced the compromised walls, while CleanSpace Wall Panels provided a durable, moisture-resistant interior finish. Finally, our IceGuard Discharge Line ensured that water could safely exit the home even during freezing temperatures.

With these systems in place, the basement is now fully protected, walls are reinforced, and the homeowner can enjoy a dry, healthy, and worry-free space for years to come!
