Before & After Photos

Maintaining your sump pump system is the best method to keeping your basement protected from water damage. Our service team provides thorough cleaning for the system, using the sump pump vacuum. Annual maintenance is vital because it ensures the system will operate properly.

If your sump pump is resembling the before photo, it may be time for annual maintenance! Our Quality 1st Basement Systems service team provided sump pump maintenance for this homeowner in Emerson, New Jersey to thoroughly clean and flood-test the system. Now, the sump pump will have an extended lifespan and the home will stay protected against water intrusion.

A homeowner in Ridgefield, New Jersey was experiencing water getting into her basement, as well as her sump pump not working properly. Sump Pumps can fail over time if they are not properly maintained. The system works hard to pump water from the basement and over time if not cleaned and flood tested it can fail.  A wet and leaky basement can have many negative effects such as musty smells, increased heating and cooling bills, and even mold. 

The homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems and our System Design Specialist, Greg Louis, was able to provide an inspection and help them find a solution. He suggested they replace their old sump pump, and install a French drain system. Our foreman, Jonathan Neira, installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System which has an airtight enclosed lid to prevent any moisture from getting into the basement. This sump pump system has three sump pumps built into a twin liner, and also has a backup pump to kick in if the power goes out. Next, the foreman installed the WaterGuard Drain System which drains into the sump pump system to remove water and keep the basement dry. This drain system is placed along the perimeter of the basement floor, under the slab and on top of the footing to be kept out of the "mud zone." Now, the homeowner does not have to worry about water getting into the basement.

Check out this wet basement solution we did in Ridgefield, NJ! The homeowner was experiencing water issues in their basement, so we had our System Design Specialist, Mike F., inspect the area. Afterward, Mike then suggested our full basement waterproofing system would be the perfect solution for the homeowner.

Our fully basement waterproofing system includes the WaterGuard French Drain System, which collects water seeping through the basement walls. It is then directed to the Smart Sump Pump and is pumped away from the basement. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona filters the air and eliminates musty odors and dampness, so the basement will stay fully dry.
