Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Flushing basement had a sump pump that did not have an airtight lid and was not working enough to keep this New York City basement dry. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe battery backup sump pump system which pumps all of the water out of this basement. Since the sump pump has a battery backup, it will even keep this basement dry when the power goes out!

Homeowner living in Flushing, NY had large cracks in the basement walls. Some the length of the entire wall while others were corner or staircase cracks. A crack in a basement wall is a sign of settling foundation. When the soil underneath the home can longer support the weight the house will either settle or shift putting pressure on the walls causing them to separate and crack.

Quality 1st applied FlexiSpan to the wall crack to prevent further water leakage. The crew installed a first sealant over the crack followed by the FlexiSpan Foam Drain Strip  as a second line of defense, lastly the tough, waterproof overlay is applied to provide a permanent seal to each crack. 

The Property Manager of a building located in Queens had noticed that the sidewalk in front of their building was uneven. About ten slabs were uneven causing multiple tripping hazards. Luckily the Property Manager found Quality 1st Basements System through their search internet and gave them a call. Systems Design Specialist, Jeffery Pitek, recommended PolyLevel to solve the issue. Project Manager, Sha Chon Kasey, injected PolyLevel into the sidewalk slabs which raised them back to level. PolyLevel can lift up to 4,000 pounds and has a quick cure time, allowing people to walk on the sidewalk in just a few minutes. With the tripping hazard removed, the property manager was now satisfied..

The owners of this Flushing, Queens home complained that their crawl space was sold cold that it felt like a window was wide open. The cold air was floating into the rest of the home making it uncomfortable and difficult to heat. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed SilverGlo crawl space insulation and CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to seal off this crawl space. The homeowners are very happy with their crawl space repair and are nice and cozy all winter!

Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace vapor barrier in this Far Rockaway, Queens basement. CleanSpace is 100% waterproof.
