Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Short Hills, NJ faced basement flooding.  A System Design Specialist identified the numerous issues causing water in the basement, including gutter water overflow in the window.  Quality 1st Basement Systems installed, in addition to a basement waterproofing system, a SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure. Not only will this homeowner no longer deal with the stresses of a wet basement, but the SunHouse window will supply even more sunlight to her basement due the the light-colored bottom bouncing more sunlight back into her space!

The installation of a TripleSafe sump pump ensures that this home will not have any water or moisture escaping from the sump area due to its airtight lid. The SaniDry dehumidifier will remove all of the moisture from the entire basement.

Leaves, debris, and water builds up around most basement windows which eventually leaks into the basement. The debris clogging the window space also causes rust and damage to the window making it more likely to leak. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a SunHouse basement window enclosure to prevnet water from getting into the basement through the windows. The SunHouse keeps all debris out, keeps the window dry, and even reflects additional light back into this basement!

The owners of this Millburn, NJ home were converting their basement and adding a bedroom. By law, they were required to install an egress window in the basement. An egress window is tall enough and wide enough that it is used as a fire escape from the basement. The homeowners now have peace of mind that everyone in their home has a safe evacuation route.

This Short Hills, NJ crawl space was dirty, wet and cold and the homeowners could feel that coldness come up through their floors. They contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to come and do a full inspection of their crawl space since they hadn't been down there in quite some time and the condition of it was unknown. The crawl space needed a complete waterproof system which consisted of WaterGuard and a SmartSump Pump specifically designed for the crawl space. Next, SilverGlo was installed on the floors and walls as a heat barrier keeping the crawl space warm and therefore the floors above warm as well. Lastly, a CleanSpace liner is installed over the SilveGlo as a vapor barrier. The CleanSpace will protect the crawl space against water, humidity, mold and moisture creating a clean dry environment in the crawl space.
