Not all sump pumps will protect a basement from flooding. Failures can happen at any time and add the amount it would cost to keep your basement protected. Our team replaced this older sump pump with a full perimeter waterproofing system. Check out the comparison between both systems. The TripleSafe Sump Pump lid is airtight to prevent moisture from evaporating back into the basement air. It stops musty orders from forming. Better quality air then travels up into the rest of the home which we call the stack effect.
Recently, a homeowner in West Grove, PA, reached out to us at Quality 1st. They were facing persistent basement water seepage, leading to damp conditions and recurring mildew smells. We recommended a robust waterproofing system tailored to their home, ensuring a comprehensive approach to keeping their basement dry. The strategy we implemented included installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump system, WaterGuard, and CleanSpace encapsulation. First, our production team carefully exposed a segment of the basement floor to set down the WaterGuard drainage system. This discreet system channels water invisible to the eye, effectively guiding it away from the surrounding foundation towards the sump pump. Next, our team installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, known for its reliability and triple protection features, providing peace of mind by efficiently pumping water away even during heavy rainfall or power outages. Moreover, for added protection, we employed our CleanSpace encapsulation, lining the basement walls with heavy-duty material designed to block all moisture entry. This seamless system not only enhances durability but also improves energy efficiency and air quality throughout the home.
This home had builder-grade fiberglass insulation on the basement walls. Fiberglass is organic and, therefore, not a good product to place against damp walls. The moisture content in the insulation will cause mold and drastically lower the R values, making it almost useless. We removed the bad insulation and installed FoaMax insulation boards. FoamMax will properly insulate this basement and also act as a vapor barrier. In addition to being a much better way to insulate foundation walls, they also look great and brighten up the whole basement.
This customer had an old out dated basement that they recently gutted and now wanted to remodel. They reached out to our company in need of help of bringing their visions of a usable, multipurpose room, to life. We sent our finishing specialist out to this property to provide material samples and work with the homeowners to come up with an open basement concept, they both agree on.
For this project, we did a complete ceiling install, we put up our TBF EverLast Wall system around the perimeter of this basement, as well as painted the wall system, and finally, we installed our Elite Plank- Walnut flooring all throughout.
At this property in Coatesville, MD the foundation had existing windows that needed replacement and with an enclosure installation. We dug out the area around the block foundation in order for us to install our EverLast vinyl window with our SunHouse Window Enclosure. Once the window and SunHouse were installed, we backfilled the outside area to fully enclose the area.
