Before & After Photos

At this home on the bottom of the stairwell door would get water build up to the point of wood rot. To prevent any build-up, we installed our TrenchDrain sub-floor drainage system that effectively captures the surface water from the doorway, then it flows down to the sump system. The heavy-duty drain system is placed sub-level, preventing any tripping hazard, and it also has a grated cover that can be easily removed for cleaning, which prevents corrosion and moisture damage. 

Water was continuing to find its way into this partially finished Newark, DE basement, even though the home already had a newer sump pump. With Bernie as foreman, our team installed CleanSpace along the walls and WaterGuard around the entire basement perimeter, working carefully through the existing finished rooms. We also replaced old, rusted windows with EverLast windows, creating a more comprehensive approach to protecting the basement from water intrusion.

These old basement windows in Newark, DE had definitely seen better days. Years of exposure had left the frames rusted and deteriorated, and the windows were allowing water to leak into the partially finished basement. As part of this waterproofing project, our team removed the old windows and replaced them with EverLast basement windows. Designed specifically for below-grade environments, EverLast windows provide a more durable solution for basement openings while helping protect against moisture and the elements.

These Newark, DE basement windows had deteriorated over time, with rust and leaks leaving the openings in need of an upgrade. Our team replaced the old windows with EverLast windows, giving the basement a cleaner, more durable window system designed for the unique conditions below grade. The new windows are built to better handle the moisture and exposure that basement windows experience, while giving these openings a much more finished appearance.

In Newark, MD, a homeowner grew concerned after noticing increasingly damp conditions in their basement, likely caused by wall cracks that were allowing water to seep in during wet weather. Worried about the risks of mold growth, structural damage, and a worsening moisture problem, they reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting solution. After a thorough inspection, our team developed a tailored waterproofing plan to address the water intrusion and protect the basement long-term.

To resolve the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture and redirect seepage to a sump pump before it could reach the floor. We paired this with CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier while also brightening the space. For complete water removal, we added our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump System, offering three levels of protection, including a battery backup for power outages. To prevent winter-related backups, we installed the IceGuard Discharge Line.

With all systems in place, we restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and worry-free environment, while delivering the homeowner with total peace of mind!
