Before & After Photos

This customer was in the process of renovating their Philly home and was looking to add an Egress in their basement. An egress is not only a way to safely exit the basement in case of an emergency, but Egress windows also allow in a lot of natural lighting. 

At this Philadelphia home, the owner was getting a floor dip on the first floor and found a movable joist in the basement. We installed our SmartJack support columns where the floor dips and we also installed new joists alongside the existing old joists. This solid base will help address the problem with a weak foundation and allow for adjustment to specifically fit for installation. 

The Egress at this Philadelphia rental property was poorly designed and was causing water to leak into the basement. This is where we came in. We came out to the property and replaced the existing egress and well with our 48x48 Slider Egress window with a 72" deep Boman Kemp window well and grate cover. 

A minor basement nuisance had slowly grown into a persistent and disruptive problem for a homeowner in Philadelphia, PA. Water seepage continued to make its way inside after every rainfall, raising concerns about long-term damage, mold growth, and the overall health of the space. Realizing the issue would only worsen without a permanent solution, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for expert help.

Once on site, our team carefully inspected the basement and quickly identified the precise source of the moisture, allowing us to engineer a tailored waterproofing plan that addressed the problem at its root.

To protect the basement from future water intrusion, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and paired it with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for reliable, high-performance water removal. CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to provide moisture-resistant protection along the walls, and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity levels under control and prevent mold growth.

With these advanced systems working together, the once-damp and worrisome basement was transformed into a dry, healthy, and comfortable living space the homeowner can now enjoy with confidence!

At this property in Philadelphia, PA, the homeowner wanted to restore the partially finished basement by installing our EverLast Finishing Wall System and Elite Plant Flooring. This wall system is made out of inorganic, mold-resistant material and is a great way to protect the basement if future flooding were to happen. These wall panels are water-resistant, strong enough to handle the daily wear and each panel is installed with a vapor barrier behind it, keeping your basement safe from water damage.
