Before & After Photos

This Elmwood Park, NJ homeowner has had their sump pump system for ten years, and their basement continues to stay dry from water intrusion. Each year, the homeowner schedules annual maintenance, so their sump pump can be cleaned and prepared for next year.

As you can see in the before photo, old sump pumps were just holes in the ground with a pump inside attempting to pump out water from the home. Over time, it would fail due to lack of maintenance or clogging from lack of protection to the pump. In Elmwood Park, NJ we installed our SuperSump Pump System which will effectively pump water out of the basement, keeping it dry and healthy. Lets compare; the SuperSump has a pump that sits in a protective liner inside the floor. The airtight lid protects the system inside all while stopping water from evaporating back into the basement air. It stops musty smells from forming and mold growth as well. The alarm system on the lid, can sense issues at any time to alert the homeowner there is a problem so they can be proactive before a serious problem ever occurs. 

The basement floor showed signs of past water damage. Quality 1st Basement Systems sent a team to install ThermalDry Flooring. ThermalDry is made up of modular plastic tiles, which are raised on pegs to create a space beneath the floor. This allows water and cold air to flow smoothly above the subfloor but does not allow the cold or moisture to penetrate. ThermalDry comes in a variety of colors and styles so it is easy to customize your basement's look!

A Rutherford, NJ homeowner hired Quality 1st Basements to transform the cold and dirty crawl space into a warmer and clean space under their home. They wanted insulation to keep their floors on the first level warm and prevent their pipes located in this area from freezing. They also wanted to prevent animals and pests from getting inside.

Our System Design Specialist met with the homeowner, did a full inspection of the crawl space and designed a solution that would make the homeowner 100% satisfied. He first recommended our SilverGlo Heat Barrier that reflects heat back into the crawl space, creating a warmer environment. Next our Vapor Barrier Liner known as CleanSpace is then installed over SilverGlo. The CleanSpace is a moisture and water vapor barrier. Not only will it prevent water leaks and pests from getting through but also create a cleaner space by protecting the crawl space against mold.

Our System Design Specialist, Dane C., inspected the area and suggested the homeowner should install our full basement waterproofing system. The full system includes our WaterGuard French Drain System, Smart Sump Pump, and SaniDry Sedona. In addition, our crew also installed our CleanSpace Moisture Barrier. These products work together to keep this area dry and healthy.
