Before & After Photos

At this recently purchased property in Middletown, DE, moisture was building up in the lower part of the home and causing the basement to get humid. We installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is the most effective and high-performance system that will hook into the sump pump system, so you will never have to drain it yourself. This device stops mold growth, odors and eliminates the humidity that creates that muggy feeling. This dehumidifier not only keeps the basement dry but also keeps the whole house dryer and healthier. 

In this Middletown, DE home, the unfinished basement had mold spots along the joist and needed mold treatment. We sent out our crew to look at the rim joists that have mold spots, then sprayed our Mold-X2 Cleaner with Botanical, which will benefit the aggressiveness and the amount of mold that is there. With this treatment, it will help prevent mold from recurring and will keep a healthy home mold-free.  

Recently, we responded to a moisture problem in a Middletown, DE home where the homeowner was dealing with moisture seeping through the bottom blocks of the basement walls. Our approach combined our effective waterproofing system elements: WaterGuard, SaniDry Sedona, CleanSpace, and SuperSump. These carefully selected components work together to provide reliable and enduring results. We started by installing the WaterGuard system to capture water seepage before it reached the basement floors. The unobtrusive design helped maintain a clean appearance while ensuring effective drainage. Next, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier, significantly improving the protection against moisture ingress. To tackle the humidity, we set up the SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system which efficiently lowered the basement’s humidity levels, preventing mold formation and eliminating any musty odors. Complementing these installations, the SuperSump was put in place to offer added peace of mind, efficiently extracting water and safeguarding against future threats. 

Faced with persistent water intrusion and worsening dampness in their basement, a homeowner in Middletown, DE, grew increasingly concerned as the space began to show signs of disrepair. Dark stains on the walls, musty odors, and pooling water were becoming more frequent, prompting the homeowner to seek out a permanent solution before the damage escalated further. Turning to Quality 1st, they hoped to not only stop the moisture but also restore the safety and comfort of their home’s lower level.

After conducting a thorough assessment, our team developed a personalized waterproofing strategy tailored to the home’s specific needs. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along with CleanSpace Wall Panels to effectively manage seepage and shield the walls from further moisture. To handle water removal, we added the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump and IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring reliable drainage even in freezing conditions. Lastly, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was put in place to maintain healthy humidity levels year-round.

With these systems working together, the basement is now fully protected, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a renewed sense of pride in their dry, healthy home!

This customer had a partially finished basement with an attached garage that would take on water whenever there was a heavy rainfall. After waterproofing multiple properties of hers, she knew our company would get this job done and get it done right. We came out and installed Waterguard along the problematic wall as well as 3 Triple Safe Sump Pumps, SaniDry Dehumidifier, 4 Sunhouse enclosures for the basement windows and Wellducts installed below each window, that would tie into the draining system. 

This Before And After will focus on one of the sump pump upgrades to our Triple Safe. As you can see the current sump pump was just an open pit with a pump, an open pit not only collects dirt and debris but will also allow odors and gases to escape from below the slab. Our Triple Safe Sump Pump comes with an airtight lid that will keep out bugs, debris, gases and quiets the noise of the pump. The Triple Safe also comes equipped with 3 pumps. We have the main pump which is a 1/3hp Zoeller pump, the second pump is a 1/2hp Zoeller that will operate when the first pump either fails, or gets overwhelmed and then the third and last pump is the battery back up pump that will turn on if and when power fails.
