Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Over time, a homeowner in Chesapeake City, MD grew increasingly concerned as their crawl space became damp, cluttered, and vulnerable to moisture damage. The source of the problem was an outdated sump pump that could no longer keep up with the rising water levels entering the space. This led to constant dampness, raising the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and potential structural issues. Recognizing the need for a long-term solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for expert help.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan to fully address the problem. We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect water away from the foundation, preventing it from pooling beneath the home. To seal the space and provide a moisture barrier, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which not only improve appearance but also block humidity from entering. Finally, we replaced the failing pump with our powerful SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, specifically designed to handle high water volumes in tight crawl spaces.

With these systems in place, the crawl space was restored to a dry, healthy, and protected condition, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in the integrity of their home!

In Landenberg, PA, a homeowner had grown increasingly frustrated with persistent water intrusion in their basement, which had resulted in damp, musty conditions that made the space uncomfortable and potentially damaging to their home. Determined to find a long-term solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for help.

After thoroughly inspecting the basement, our team identified the best course of action to address the issue, recommending the installation of our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump. This high-performance system, designed to provide reliable water removal even during heavy rainfall or power outages, was the perfect solution to keep the basement dry and prevent future flooding.

With the TripleSafe Sump Pump in place, the homeowner was able to restore peace of mind, knowing that their basement was well-protected for years to come!

We recently assisted a homeowner in Galena, MD, who had been battling persistent water seepage in their basement every time there was heavy rainfall, leading to dampness, musty odors, and concerns about mold growth. Despite various personal attempts to address the issue, including using temporary sealants, the water continued to infiltrate through the foundation, leaving the basement unusable. Frustrated and seeking a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for professional help.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and recommended the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump to efficiently pump out any water collected. After the installation was complete, the homeowner’s basement was transformed into a dry, healthy space, free from water seepage and the risks of further flooding, providing long-term protection against moisture damage!

Recently, we completed a basement waterproofing project for a homeowner in Thorndale, PA, who contacted us after experiencing repeated issues with water collecting in their basement. Our solution was to install the SuperSump system. The SuperSump combines various advanced components, including a powerful Zoeller cast iron pump known for high-volume water removal, and an alert system designed to notify when water levels become concerning. The design also includes a robust, airtight lid that ensures safety and keeps out unwanted elements like insects and odors.

This heavy retaining wall in Downington, PA was bowing and tipping over, and we knew that the GeoLock Wall Anchors were the best solution for the problem. When the GeoLock system is installed, a hole is drilled into the bowing wall in predetermined intervals, depending on the number of anchors needed. One anchor plate is then attached to the interior and exterior sides of the wall, lining up with the predrilled hole, and one end of a 9-foot galvanized threaded rod is then inserted through the hole and anchor plates until the rod protrudes slightly out of the interior wall. An anchor bolt is then screwed onto that protruding end. The other end of the rod attaches to a heavy-duty earth anchor, which gets embedded into firm, stable soil away from the foundation. Once everything is in place, the anchor bolt is tightened, and the reverse pressure pulls the wall back toward its original position. At this point, the wall is stabilized and secure and no further adjustments are necessary. However, gradual tightening of the anchor bolt will continue to adjust the wall and over time, may even straighten it completely. This home in Elkton needed 10 anchors to repair the wall, and we were able to straighten it completely in one day. The GeoLock wall anchors are guaranteed for a period of 25 years.
