Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Heavy rainfall and inadequate drainage had begun to take a toll on a Belcamp, MD basement, causing rising moisture levels that raised serious concerns about wood rot and mold growth. Recognizing the potential long-term damage, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a professional, lasting solution to protect their home and safeguard their living space.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and pinpointed the exact source of the water intrusion, enabling the creation of a fully customized waterproofing plan. The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, TrenchDrain System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and durable EverLast Wall Panels. Together, these systems managed water flow, reinforced the basement walls, and efficiently removed excess water, effectively preventing future moisture issues.

With these advanced solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a fully protected basement and complete peace of mind for years to come!

This job required that we remove the bottom of the moldy drywall so that a waterproofing system could be installed. We also installed a TripleSafe sump system that can pump over 6,000 gallons of water and has a battery backup pumping system. We never use drywall to restore the wall because it is too vulnerable to mold and water damage. We only use inorganic TBF EverLast wall, which comes with a 50-year guarantee against water or mold damage.

Customer reached out to us because they wanted to waterproof the basement and then refinish (their basement was recently flooded and damaged due to a sump pump failure). 

For the waterproofing portion of the project, we installed a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier on the bottom portion of the wall, Waterguard along the basement perimeter and a SuperSump Pump. 

For the finishing, we used our Everlast Wall restoration on the bottom portion of the walls, which is immune to mold and moisture damage, Everlast Wall Panels and Thermal Dry flooring. We also removed and installed a new half bath. 

This homeowner had some cracks appearing on the drywall and was looking into getting their dirt crawl space encapsulated. We encapsulated the space by installing our CleanSpace that is lined with a drainage matting. Along the perimeter, we installed our SilverGlo panels that keep the basement insulated creating a vapor barrier from any moisture. 

On this project, we had to perform Urethane injections to 45ft tall foundation wall cracks. On the one foundation wall, we had to inject Epoxy into 30 cracks in order to strengthen the foundation's integrity by using the water-resistant epoxy. Once the cracks were filled, we removed the excess epoxy in order for the owner to touch up or stain the discoloration from the dry injections. Lastly, we reinstalled the foam boards we removed and taped seams flush against the walls.
