Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In this damp basement in Port Deposit, MD the cement walls were leaking with moisture and then over time sitting on the floor of the basement. We dug a trench along the perimeter of the floor where the moisture was coming in, to install our WaterGuard French Drain. This drain system will collect the water from the floor joint, redirect it to the sump chamber, and safely pumps out the water.

A homeowner in Port Deposit, MD, began noticing increasing water intrusion in their basement, primarily due to an old window that allowed moisture to seep in, creating damp conditions and musty odors. Concerned about potential mold growth and structural damage, they reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team developed a tailored waterproofing plan to address the root cause of the problem. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to efficiently manage water flow, paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure reliable water removal. To eliminate the source of moisture, we replaced the old window with an energy-efficient EverLast Window, and added our SunHouse Window Well Enclosure to protect the area from debris and water accumulation.

With these advanced solutions in place, we successfully restored the basement to a dry, healthy environment, providing the homeowner with peace of mind against further water seepage issues!

This customer had a humidity issue in the basement. We installed our BrightWall vapor barrier and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now, not only is the humidity under control, but the walls look cleaner and brighter.

This owner called us and was in need of repairing some concrete and a wall system installation to help with wall leakage. We cut the bottom of the walls to be able to install our CleanSpace Vapor barrier, which is placed and sealed flush against the perimeter walls. This vapor barrier prevents the evaporation from ground moisture that would pull up and into the home. The barrier is puncture-resistant, making it effective and durable over time. 

What seemed like a minor moisture issue quickly became a major concern for this Nottingham, PA homeowner, who feared the long-term effects of water intrusion, such as mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Concerned about protecting their home’s structure and health, they reached out to the professionals at Quality 1st for expert guidance. After a thorough inspection, our team identified the moisture sources and developed a targeted solution to permanently dry and protect the crawl space.

We implemented a dynamic waterproofing system starting with our patented StarPipe Drainage System to direct groundwater away from the foundation. Drainage Matting was installed to keep water flowing beneath the surface, preventing puddling and saturation. To further protect and insulate the space, we installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels, sealed all open vents with Vent Covers, and encapsulated the area with our durable CleanSpace Vapor Barrier.

This multi-layered system now works together to keep the crawl space clean, dry, and energy-efficient, giving the homeowner long-term protection and complete peace of mind!
