Eliminating Moisture Intrusion In Port Deposit, MD
Challenge
In Port Deposit, MD, a homeowner started to notice troubling signs of water intrusion in their basement over time. The culprit was an old, worn-out window that allowed moisture to seep through, leading to damp conditions and a musty odor in the space. Concerned about the potential for mold growth and damage to the foundation, the homeowner realized they needed a permanent solution to address the moisture problem. They reached out to Quality 1st for expert advice and a long-term waterproofing plan.
Solution
Upon receiving the homeowner’s request, our team at Quality 1st quickly scheduled a detailed inspection of the basement. We discovered that the aging window was indeed the source of the moisture, and after further evaluation of the entire basement, we recommended a comprehensive waterproofing system to address the water intrusion. Our plan involved installing several advanced solutions to both eliminate the moisture issue and protect the basement from future problems. We began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which effectively channels water away from the foundation, and paired it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump for reliable water removal, ensuring that the basement would stay dry even during heavy rainfall. To directly address the old window, we installed a new, energy-efficient EverLast Window that provided a secure seal against moisture, preventing any further seepage. In addition, we installed our SunHouse Window Well Enclosure around the window to keep the area around it dry and free from debris. This enclosure allows for proper water drainage, while also protecting the window well from dirt, leaves, and rainwater. With the combination of these effective solutions in place, the homeowner's basement was restored to a dry, healthy, and comfortable space. The homeowner could now enjoy peace of mind knowing that their basement was fully protected from water intrusion, and that future moisture issues were prevented.
