Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Montclair, NJ was experiencing a musty odor originating from their crawl space and permeating their home. Acknowledging this issue, the homeowner sought a waterproofing solution to prevent moisture build-up that was contributing to the unpleasant smell. Our Quality 1st team provided an effective solution and was eager to assist.

The crawl space was encapsulated with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which lined both the floor and walls. Beneath the vapor barrier, our Drainage Matting was installed to promote water flow and prevent water from becoming trapped on the floor. CleanSpace is highly durable and is backed by a guarantee against mold or mildew growth. This system is designed to keep the crawl space dry and to mitigate further concerns regarding unpleasant odors or structural damage.

When a homeowner in Wildwood, NJ, noticed the uncomfortably high humidity levels in their crawl space were wreaking havoc not just there but in their whole house, they decided it was time for a change. We prescribed a combination of our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to encapsulate the crawl space, preventing moisture from invading the area. Next, SilverGlo panels were installed on the walls to insulate the space and reflect heat back into the crawl space, making it more energy-efficient. Finally, to actively control the humidity, we set up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier – a powerful, yet energy-efficient system designed specifically for areas like this. 

We recently assisted this Bronx, NY, homeowner who was struggling with ongoing water seepage in their basement, which was the clear result of heavy rainfall. The homeowner started to worry that this issue could eventually lead to structural deterioration and mold-growth, prompting them to contact Quality 1st for a long-term waterproofing resolution. 

Once our team conducted a thorough evaluation on the basement, they were able to determine the most effective solution, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The crew securely installed TripleSafe, a system specially designed with three pumps and a backup battery system. Our TripleSafe pumps are built for reliability, providing continuous protection and preventing flooding, water damage, and costly repairs. With its robust design and multi-level backup system, TripleSafe offers peace of mind, keeping your home safe and dry, no matter the conditions.

With this powerful system installed, the homeowner noticed an immediate improvement and looked forward to enjoying a moisture-free basement for many years to come!

Water was intruding on this homeowner's basement in Rising Sun, MD. The water was coming in where the floor met the wall. Our System Design Specialist, Jeff Yentzer, did a full inspection and recommended a solution that would work. The Quality 1st team started by installing WaterGuard under the floor slab since that is where the homeowner was experiencing the water intrusion. This would drain the water coming in from the walls and direct it towards the sump pump. The walls were then covered in our durable and mold-resistant CleanSpace walling to provide a barrier so moisture wouldn't filter into the air. The result is a clean, dry and protected basement.

This Mullica Hill, NJ, homeowner was struggling with ongoing basement water problems caused by an outdated sump pump that was unable to manage the large volume of water entering the space. The persistent moisture led to damp conditions and raised concerns about potential damage to the foundation and indoor air quality. Seeking a reliable and effective solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for professional waterproofing services.

Our team responded by installing the patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture water at the foundation’s wall-floor joint and direct it efficiently to the sump pump. We paired this with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, a highly reliable setup featuring primary, backup, and battery-powered pumps to ensure continuous protection even during power outages. Together, these systems eliminated water intrusion, transforming the basement into a dry, comfortable environment and giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind!
