Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In Millersville, MD, a homeowner noticed a persistent moisture problem in their crawl space, causing concerns about mold growth, musty odors, and potential damage to the home’s foundation. Despite using various temporary fixes, the humidity levels continued to rise, and the crawl space environment only worsened, making the homeowner increasingly worried about the long-term effects. After researching long-term solutions, they reached out to Quality 1st for professional help in restoring the crawl space to a dry and healthy condition.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels to provide superior moisture resistance while also improving thermal efficiency. Next, we laid down the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to create a secure, durable seal against water vapor and moisture infiltration.

This one-two punch of advanced insulation and vapor protection effectively transformed the crawl space into a dry, healthy environment, eliminating the musty odors and preventing future moisture-related issues. The homeowner can now rest easy, knowing their crawl space is properly protected for years to come!

All the walls had to be removed in this basement because they had mold and water damage.  We made repairs to the foundation wall using carbon fiber straps and installed a waterproofing system including the WaterGuard drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump.  Next we replaced the old drywall with waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage.  We also installed our ThermalDry Flooring system designed specifically for cold basement floors. The basement was transformed and the homeowners were happy!

The basement in this Parkville, MD home had drywall damaged by water and mold growth. To begin, we removed the old drywall and repaired the foundation walls using carbon fiber wall straps. Then we installed the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump to help prevent future water problems. We then installed Total Basement Finishing waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage. Much better than drywall! We also finished the basement floors with ThermalDry flooring, which is designed specifically for basement conditions. Now the basement is dry AND comfortable!  

At this property in Parkville, MD, the laundry room area of the basement collects a lot of water seepage from heavy rain and also in the winter after snow melts. After evaluating the water problem, we installed the below-grade WaterGuard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. This system provides a permanent solution to help prevent basement flooding and also collects water from wall leaks that will be redirected into the below-grade drain.

At this home the owners were experiencing water coming in through the basement door and the walls on the inside of the home were starting to deteriorate due to the water damage. Our team jackhammered along the outside of the doorway to install our TrenchDrain that is a grated drain which sits flush to the door and prevents doorway flooding. The drain is integrated with the drainage system that connects into the sump pump system that will safely pump out any water that comes down into the stairwell.
