Before & After Photos

A Scotch Plains, NJ, homeowner noticed water seepage in their basement, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for a solution. We installed our SuperSump Pump System, which will effectively pump water out of the basement and keep it dry and healthy! The airtight lid keeps water and moisture inside to prevent a musty odor. It also helps protect the pump sump inside the liner to ensure it doesn't damage or clog. 

A basement in Scotch Plains, NJ, had more water seepage than the previously installed sump pump could handle. We came out and installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, along with a new french drain to help alleviate the water issues. The WaterGuard French Drain System collects water and directs it to the TripleSafe nearby. With this installation in place, this basement is sure to stay dry for years to come!

A homeowner in Scotch Plains, NJ was dealing with the serious effects of foundation settlement and basement water seepage caused by shifting soils and ongoing moisture intrusion. Cracking walls and a damp, musty environment raised concerns about long-term damage and safety. Looking for a reliable, permanent fix, they contacted Quality 1st to assess the situation and provide a tailored solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team designed a dynamic repair and waterproofing plan. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation and direct it to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for fast, efficient removal. To ensure year-round protection, we added an IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent backups during freezing temperatures. For structural reinforcement, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, using high-strength carbon fiber straps to stabilize bowing walls and stop further movement.

With these advanced systems in place, the basement is now dry, stable, and protected for years to come!

When heavy rains hit, this homeowner from Scotch Plains, NJ noticed a troubling pattern; their crawl space would flood every time, leaving behind standing water, musty odors, and growing concerns about mold and foundation damage.

To complete the solution, they added a LawnScape outlet, allowing water to safely discharge away from the home’s foundation and into the yard. Now, no matter how hard it rains, the homeowner's crawl space stays clean, dry, and protected, giving them peace of mind and a healthier home environment.
