Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In Middle River, MD, a homeowner was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in their basement, caused by the lack of a proper drainage system. Over time, the moisture buildup led to a damp, musty environment that made the space unusable and raised concerns about mold growth and structural damage. Frustrated by the worsening conditions, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution to protect their home.

After performing a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan centered around the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. This advanced system was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor to capture water seepage at its source and redirect it to a sump pump for safe removal.

With WaterGuard in place, we eliminated the risk of future water intrusion and transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and stable space the homeowner could feel confident in once again!

Waterproofing job in Upper Falls, MD consisted of 2 Sunhouse Basement Window Enclosures, Well duct, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump, and an Ultra Pump battery backup. 

The Well duct will direct any water that may come in through the window down to the waterguard, where water will flow through the waterguard and over to the SuperSump to be pumped out of the basement.

In Upper Falls, MD, a homeowner reached out to us, concerned about water seeping into their basement. During heavy rainfalls, the basement floor became wet, and they were worried about potential damage to their property. To address this, we implemented our tried-and-tested waterproofing system. We began with the installation of WaterGuard, our sub-floor perimeter drainage system, specifically designed to capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. WaterGuard was discreetly placed below the surface, safeguarding the space without disrupting its aesthetic. Complementing this, we installed the SuperSump system, a reliable solution designed to handle substantial water volumes and alert the homeowner if water levels ever rise unexpectedly. 

This basement had a bowing wall, causing cracking and separation of the block. We installed the PowerBrace wall stabilization system to permanently stabilize this home's foundation wall. It comes with a 25-year warranty against further bowing, tipping or shearing. In addition, this system has the ability to be tightened periodically over time, putting reverse pressure on the bowing wall, which helps to straighten it. We also installed ThermalWall vapor barrier to keep moisture out and the warm air in.

In this basement, the bottom of the moldy paneling was removed so that we could install WaterGuard and do mold remediation with Moldx2. After the repairs were made, we installed the inorganic TBF Everlast wall system, which is guaranteed for 50 years against Mold or water damage.
