Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Holmdel, NJ encountered a failing sump pump in their home. Seeking a more reliable solution to safeguard their basement from water damage, they turned to us. The before photo showcases the inadequacy of the old sump pump. We upgraded it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides triple protection against water intrusion. This system includes a primary pump, a secondary pump for added capacity during heavy rainfall, and a battery backup pump that ensures continuous operation even during power outages. Paired with our WaterGuard French Drain System, this basement is prepared to take on any storm!

In Holmdel, NJ, a concerned homeowner contacted us at Quality 1st Basement Systems with a pressing issue: their split basement was suffering from significant water damage. The unfinished section of this space had turned into a problematic spot, with water intruding on two walls. To address the issue we installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system: a smart choice because of its ability to sit safely away from the soil, preventing the notorious clogs typical of French drain systems. This channel now efficiently guides any seepage towards the newly installed SuperSump system. With a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, our SuperSump ensured that water couldn't pool by swiftly expelling it from the perimeter. Lastly, we added BrightWall panels, which not only concealed imperfections but also provided a lovely finished look, turning the unsightly corners into clean, bright areas. These panels will divert any incoming water down into the WaterGuard, ensuring the basement remains a dry and welcoming space. 

Tired of dealing with a damp, musty basement after every storm, this Holmdel, NJ homeowner was ready for a change. The ongoing moisture intrusion had become more than just a nuisance, it was a threat to their home’s foundation and indoor air quality. With no proper drainage in place and constant heavy rainfall saturating the area, water was finding its way in through the walls and floor. That’s when they called Quality 1st to deliver a permanent, professional fix.

Our crew quickly got to work installing a full waterproofing solution tailored to the home’s unique challenges. We began with our WaterGuard Drainage System, a patented perimeter drain that captures seepage and channels it directly to the sump pump. To keep humidity and wall moisture at bay, we installed our CleanSpace Wall Panels, which not only protect but also brighten the basement. Finally, our powerful SuperSump Premier Sump Pump was added to handle water removal with ease and reliability.

Together, these systems provided lasting protection and gave the homeowner renewed confidence in the safety, value, and comfort of their home!

A homeowner in Waldwick, NJ noticed their floors were sagging, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our System Design Specialist, Steve R., inspected the home and discovered the cause, of the problem, was due to a damp and humid crawl space beneath the home. Dampness and humidity cause wood rot to the main crawl space beams, which causes the floors to sag. We resolved the issue by installing our SmartJack System, which supports the crawl space beam, and straightens the floors. The homeowner was very happy with the results.

Quality 1st Basement Systems provided a wet basement solution for this homeowner in Waldwick, NJ.

The following year our Service technician, Jose Lopez,  came out to perform the first annual maintenance on the system to ensure its functioning properly to protect the home throughout the year! Jose took the sump pump apart to properly clean the inside and then flood test the system as well to make sure there was no issues. This annual maintenance check up prolongs the life of your investment!
