Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In Pasadena, MD, a homeowner began noticing signs of foundation settlement in their basement, such as visible cracks in the walls and floors that were becoming uneven. The likely cause of the issue was prolonged water seepage due to an aging and underperforming sump pump that had failed to effectively manage groundwater around the foundation. As a result, water infiltration over time had created pressure on the basement walls and contributed to the settling of the foundation. Concerned about the potential for further damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, seeking a professional and comprehensive solution to restore the stability and integrity of their home.

Our team responded by installing a series of advanced systems designed to tackle both the water intrusion and foundation issues. We began with the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which was designed to redirect groundwater away from the foundation, preventing any further seepage. Next, we upgraded the existing sump pump to our powerful SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, ensuring efficient water removal. To address the moisture issues and improve the overall appearance of the basement, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier and prevent moisture from passing through the walls. Finally, to stabilize the bowing foundation walls, we used our CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, which uses high-strength carbon fiber straps to provide permanent wall stabilization.

With all these systems in place, we successfully restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and structurally sound condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind and lasting protection against future water and foundation problems.

This homeowner from Pasadena, MD noticed their concrete walkway was settling. They called Quality 1st basements for a free quote. Our System Design Specialist performed an inspection and noticed voids under the slabs that were creating the settlement. They injected Polylevel under the settled slab, lifting it so it was level with the rest of the walkway. Finally, the cracks were sealed with NexusPro to prevent moisture from entering and eroding the slabs. The homeowner now had a more appealing and safer walkway that would last them through rain or shine. 

What looked like minor basement wall cracks soon became a major concern for this Pasadena, MD homeowner, as the damage continued to spread over time. These visible signs were the result of foundation settlement caused by excessive pressure from shifting soils, an issue that, if left untreated, could lead to serious structural problems. Concerned about the stability of their home, the homeowner contacted our team at Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and reliable solution.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our experts confirmed that the foundation walls were under significant lateral stress. To address the problem, we installed our patented CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, a non-invasive solution that uses industrial-strength carbon fiber straps to permanently stabilize bowing or cracked foundation walls. Once secured with high-strength epoxy, the system immediately restored the structural integrity of the basement.

Thanks to this advanced reinforcement, the homeowner can now enjoy long-term peace of mind, knowing their home is protected from future foundation issues.
