Before & After Photos

At this Newark home, we installed our Total Basement Finishing System, which not only benefits more of a living space but adds overall value to your home. Our TBF uses high-quality remodeling products that can stand the damp environment and provide thermal insulation that will keep the basement warm. By using our products, your livable basement is now mold and water-resistant, turning this space into a space for your family to enjoy. 

In this split-level home, water was coming into the bathroom from the corner of the space where the wall and floor meet. We cut back the wall in order for us to install our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which is designed to capture the wall leakage coming into the home. We then installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drain that safely carries the captured water down into the sump system, which will now keep the area dry and free from water.

At this Newark property, the sump system wouldn't turn on as often as it should, and it began to get a moldy smell due to the high humidity. Our service tech went out and installed our SaniDry Sedona, which automatically controls the levels of humidity inside the home and also prevents the growth of mold, filters particles, and removes odors. We attached the dehumidifier to the pump system, which will automatically drain any water into the Sump System and keep moisture under control. 

A homeowner in Newark, DE began noticing persistent water seepage in their basement after multiple periods of heavy rainfall. The recurring issue was caused by insufficient drainage around the foundation, allowing water to infiltrate the space and create damp, unhealthy conditions. Concerned about the long-term effects of moisture damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting and reliable waterproofing solution.

Our team responded promptly and conducted a thorough inspection to identify the source of the problem and determine the most effective approach.

Based on our assessment, we designed a customized waterproofing plan that addressed the home’s specific needs. This plan included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to collect and redirect water, our TripleSafe Sump Pump for powerful and dependable water removal, and ThermalDry Basement Sub-Floor Matting to help manage residual moisture and improve floor insulation. Once installed, these systems worked together to eliminate water intrusion, keeping the basement dry and protected from future leaks.

The homeowner was left with a healthy, usable space and peace of mind knowing their home was fully safeguarded against moisture!

In Newark, DE, a homeowner began noticing consistent water seepage around their basement, particularly after heavy rainfall. The moisture buildup raised concerns about possible long-term issues like wood rot and mold growth, which could compromise the health and safety of the living space. Upon inspection, it was clear that the culprit was an old, underperforming sump pump that could no longer manage the high volume of groundwater entering the area. With water continuing to intrude, the homeowner knew it was time to call in professionals for a permanent solution.

After reaching out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a detailed evaluation of the basement and identified the most effective waterproofing strategy. We installed our patented SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for high-capacity water removal, our WellDuct System to safely redirect water from the window wells, and our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure proper drainage even during freezing conditions. These systems now work together to provide powerful, year-round protection against water intrusion. Thanks to this comprehensive upgrade, the basement has been fully restored to a dry, healthy state, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.
