Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Recently, a homeowner in Glen Burnie, MD contacted Quality 1st after observing increasing moisture levels in their crawl space. Concerned about the potential for mold growth and long-term structural damage, they were looking for a reliable and lasting solution.

Upon inspection, our team identified the primary issues, excess humidity and unsealed vents that were allowing outside air and moisture to enter the space.

To resolve the problem, our crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, mold-resistant liner designed to lock out ground moisture and improve air quality. Additionally, we installed CleanSpace Vent Covers to seal off the crawl space from exterior air infiltration. This combination not only eliminated ongoing moisture intrusion but also transformed the area into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home.

The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fully protected from the damaging effects of moisture.

This customer had just purchased a newly constructed home and immediately was not a fan of the Egress well and cover that came with the home. The current well was metal and was already showing signs of rust. We came out and installed our Rockwell Elite series well, along with our Rockwell Cover.

The Rockwell is a rigid construction that will not allow water to penetrate, so it will never rust or rot. Our Rockwell covers are built to hold up to 500lbs of weight and constructed to keep out water and debris, all while allowing natural light to enter the basement. 

In this dirt crawl space, the moisture had gotten worse to the point that the upstairs floor began to creak when walking. Our team was able to assess the area and encapsulate it with our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. We were able to clean out the insulation to install new joists alongside the old existing joist that prevents the floor from sagging and creaking. To encapsulate, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the area, which will block evaporation from ground moisture coming in. Finishing up the space, we wrapped the bottom of each cement pier, which prevents any future leakage or seepage. 

At this home in Glen Burnie, MD, the foundation wall was beginning to bow. It was in need of wall stabilization to prevent further bowing. Our team examined the foundation to determine the strategy of these steel beams and hold their current position without adjustment. Our team installed our PowerBrace Wall System that can stop buckling, wall tilting, and further damage, and even over time help straighten the wall over time.

This Glen Burnie, MD, homeowner was facing increasing moisture levels in their crawl space, which were causing the support beams to weaken and leading to damp, unhealthy conditions throughout their home. The rising moisture not only created a musty smell but also threatened the structural integrity of the house as the beams began to sag, affecting the floors above. Concerned about the long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a solution.

Next the team installed our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System to stabilize the sagging beams and lift the floors back to their original position, while our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was applied to seal the ground and prevent future moisture from entering the space.

With these comprehensive solutions in place, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, stable, and healthy environment, restoring both the foundation and overall peace of mind for the homeowner!
