Before & After Photos

At a veterans post in Staten Island, NY, water intrusion was overwhelming the existing sump pumps in an unfinished basement. Our team added WaterGuard drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump system, and CleanSpace to provide reliable, long-term waterproofing.

This homeowner from Staten Island, NY was battling a damp, uncomfortable crawl space with musty odors and rising humidity affecting the entire home. To fix the problem for good, they encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier, creating a durable, airtight seal across the walls and floor. Drainage Matting was installed underneath to help water move freely to the proper drainage points, preventing pooling and soft spots. To further improve energy efficiency, SilverGlo insulation panels were added along the walls, reflecting heat and providing a clean, finished look. Now the crawl space is dry, insulated, and protected, giving the homeowner a healthier, more efficient home from the ground up.

Customer called with major flooding issue in basement which caused damage to the finished basement. Quality 1st Basement Systems came in and removed all the finished materials that were damaged. This allowed us to properly install the WaterGuard drainage system at the floor/wall joint. This gave the homeowner a Lifetime Warranty against ground water seepage. We then sistered the studs with medal studs and installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the finished basement from moisture. Finally we installed our EverLast Wall Panel which is a moisture resistant wall covering and makes the finished basement look great. We totally transformed their basement.

An annual sump pump maintenance is highly recommended to help prolong the protection of your basement. Like a car, maintaining your sump pump provides a full barrier against any water damage, saving you and your home!
