In this cobblestone basement, the homeowner noticed the ceiling starting to dip, which caused the upstairs flooring to creak when walking across. In order for us to stabilize and premaritally lift the sagging floor, we installed our SmartJack supplemental galvanized beams with a solid concrete footing. These heavy-duty steel columns are secured to the joist and they can adjust to your custom fit. Our product is designed to stop the area from settling and can lift the sagging floor to its corrected level.
Ongoing water intrusion in the basement had left this Oxford, PA homeowner deeply concerned about the risk of structural damage and unhealthy mold growth. Seeking a permanent fix, they reached out to Quality 1st for expert guidance.
Following a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing solution tailored to the specific needs of the home. The plan included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture seepage at the foundation level, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System for powerful, triple-layer protection, ensuring reliable performance even during severe weather or power outages.
To further safeguard the space, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to regulate humidity and prevent mold, as well as our IceGuard Discharge Line to keep the system operational through freezing temperatures. BrightWall Panels were added to create a clean, moisture-resistant barrier that channels wall seepage directly into the drainage system.
Together, these components form a dynamic, high-performance defense against water damage, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy environment and giving the homeowner long-term peace of mind!
This homeowner in Atglen, PA had our previous dehumidifier model, the SaniDry XP installed many years ago. However, with our newest model out, the SaniDry Sedona, this homeowner reached out for the upgrade! Our team meticulously made the switch and ensured the system was running smoothly.
The extremely high moisture levels in this customer's crawlspace had caused significant damage to the center support beam. Here we used existing piers and temporary jacks to lift the floor off the old cracked and rotting beam so we could replace it with new, pressure-treated lumber. Once we replaced the beam, we advised this customer to have a sump system and dehumidifier installed in order to keep the high moisture levels in check.
In Charlestown, MD, a homeowner was facing constant water seepage in their garage, creating a damp, uncomfortable, and potentially hazardous environment. Concerned about the long-term impact on their home and health, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for help.
After a thorough inspection, our team proposed a dynamic waterproofing solution tailored to the garage’s needs. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain to capture and redirect water before it could spread across the floor. These systems were connected to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which offers triple the protection, including a battery backup to keep the system running even during power outages.
To further protect the space and enhance its usability, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to block moisture and improve the garage’s overall appearance. An IceGuard Discharge Line was added to ensure water can still be discharged even if exterior pipes freeze in the winter. Finally, a new Egress Window brought in natural light, improved ventilation, and ensured the space met emergency exit safety standards.
With these upgrades in place, the homeowner now has a dry, healthy, and functional garage, and peace of mind knowing their home is protected year-round!
