Before & After Photos

When ongoing moisture began compromising the basement of a home in Manalapan, NJ, the homeowner quickly realized that professional intervention was essential to protect both the health of the space and the structural integrity of their home. Concerned about the potential for further foundation settlement and mold growth, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent and reliable solution. Our System Design Specialist, Jeff, conducted a thorough inspection, carefully evaluating water intrusion points, basement wall conditions, and underlying structural vulnerabilities. By identifying the exact sources of moisture and stress on the foundation, Jeff was able to develop a targeted repair and waterproofing plan tailored specifically to the home’s needs.

This dynamic solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, paired with our SuperSump Premier and TripleSafe Sump Pumps to provide reliable, multi-layered water removal. An IceGuard Discharge Line ensured year-round drainage without risk of freezing, while a SaniDry Dehumidifier maintained optimal humidity levels to improve indoor air quality. To stabilize the structure, Helical Piers were installed to reinforce the foundation, and our SmartJack Support System provided additional wall support.

Together, these high-performance systems transformed the basement into a dry, secure, and structurally sound environment, delivering long-term reliability, protection against future water and settlement issues, and lasting peace of mind for the homeowner!

An inspector was sent to this Haskell home regarding sagging and cold floors. The inspector determined that the sagging floors were due to insufficient support in the crawl space. The cold floors and drafts were due to an uninsulated crawl space. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SmartJacks to support the foundation. CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier and SilverGlo crawl space insulation were installed to seal off the crawl space keeping the cold air out of the crawl space. The homeowner no longer has sagging floors, and the temperature of his home has improved! 

This homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems about concerns that they had with their crawl space. The kitchen floors of their Haskell, NJ home were cold and he believed there may have been water down there as well. Upon inspection, System Design Specialist, Laszlo Lenkey,could feel the cold drafts inside the crawl space. The cinder foundation walls were cold and damp and rodents were roaming around as well. A SmartSump Pump was installed to keep the crawl space dry. Laszlo recommended a Vapor Barrier System, which will seal off the crawl space from humidity and cold drafts. The SilverGlo liner is a heat barrier which will keep the crawl space warm and therefore the floor on the first level of the home as well.
