Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Property manager of this Lancaster PA rental home contacted Basement Systems to assess the issue of "bubbling paint" and "Musty smell" coming from the basement. When our inspector Chris Cooke went out to this property, seeing that there could be no leaking pipes, it was determined that ground water had been leaking in to this basement and when that is left unattended, mold can start to grow and cause that musty smell. 

Basement Systems came out and did a spotted MoldX2 treatment and installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on all 4 foundation walls. CleanSpace not only stops water from penetrating the walls, but it is also a quick, economical way to cover up, not so pretty basement walls.

The crawl space in this Lancaster, PA, home was suffering from severe groundwater intrusion, even though it had been encapsulated before. The original barrier was failing, allowing water to seep through and create a damp, unprotected space. This made the crawl space vulnerable to potential mold growth, odors, and structural issues, and the homeowner was understandably concerned.

After a thorough evaluation, we installed our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, providing a robust moisture barrier and addressing the groundwater issue head-on. The new encapsulation system not only restored the crawl space to a dry, protected environment but also offered the homeowner peace of mind. Now, his Lancaster, PA, home has a durable solution that will keep the crawl space dry, effectively sealing out moisture and ensuring lasting protection against water intrusion.

A homeowner in Joppa, MD, was dealing with recurring moisture intrusion caused by an outdated sump pump system that had failed to provide adequate protection. Over time, the persistent moisture led to growing concerns about mold growth and potential rot, leaving the homeowner worried about the long-term damage to their home. Determined to resolve the issue once and for all, they reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation. Additionally, we replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, designed to provide reliable, powerful water removal.

With these advanced systems in place, we successfully eliminated further water seepage and gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their basement would stay dry and protected!

Recently in Joppa, MD, a homeowner was growing increasingly concerned as moisture continued to infiltrate their basement and subtle signs of foundation settlement began to appear. Cracks along the walls and a lingering dampness raised red flags, signaling that without intervention, the situation could evolve into serious structural damage and mold infestation. Recognizing the urgency, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution. After a thorough inspection, our team identified the underlying issues and crafted a targeted plan to address both the moisture problems and the shifting foundation.

To combat the dual threat, we installed our SilverGlo Insulation Panels, designed to reflect heat, resist moisture, and enhance overall energy efficiency. These high-performance panels create a protective thermal barrier that keeps the basement dry and comfortable year-round. To reinforce the structural integrity of the home, we also implemented our PowerBrace Wall Repair System, an adjustable, steel I-beam solution that permanently stabilizes and supports bowing or cracked foundation walls.

With these durable systems in place, the basement is now fully protected from further water damage and structural movement, allowing the homeowner to feel confident and secure in their home once again!
