Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

In Baltimore, MD, homeowner determined to finish their basement and create a functional living space was struggling with persistent water seepage. Concerned about the moisture damaging the foundation and hindering their plans, they contacted Quality 1st for a reliable solution.

Next the team installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water, along with EverLast Wall Panels to create a moisture-resistant, mold-proof foundation. We also added ThermalDry Elite Plank Floor Panels, which not only provided thermal insulation but also ensured a dry and comfortable floor.

Current customer reached back out to us after we waterproofed his basement, now wanting to look into receiving a free estimate for finishing his basement. We sent out the original inspector to assess the area and work with the customer on how they would like to turn this unfinished space, into a useable area.

We added new flooring, walls and a linen drop ceiling to help bring his basement vision to reality.

The basement in this Parkville, MD home had drywall damaged by water and mold growth. To begin, we removed the old drywall and repaired the foundation walls using carbon fiber wall straps. Then we installed the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump to help prevent future water problems. We then installed Total Basement Finishing waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage. Much better than drywall! We also finished the basement floors with ThermalDry flooring, which is designed specifically for basement conditions. Now the basement is dry AND comfortable!  

When this homeowner from Severna Park, MD decided to turn their dark, unfinished basement into a functional living space, they wanted a solution that was both stylish and durable. They chose Everlast Finishing Panels for their clean look and exceptional performance in below-grade environments. Unlike traditional drywall, Everlast panels are made from inorganic materials that resist moisture, mold, and mildew, perfect for a basement prone to humidity. The installation was quick, and the finished result was a bright, modern space that’s now used as a family room and home office.

Recently, a homeowner in Severna Park, MD had ambitious plans to finish their basement, but ongoing water seepage was causing persistent dampness, structural damage, and a musty atmosphere. These moisture issues were preventing them from moving forward with their renovation goals and creating an environment that was both unhealthy and uninhabitable.

Seeking a long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, and our team promptly conducted a detailed inspection of the basement to assess the scope of the problem. After identifying the key areas of concern, we designed a customized waterproofing solution tailored to address the unique challenges of the space.

To effectively tackle the moisture problem, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter, directing water to the sump pump and away from the living area. We then added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a moisture barrier to protect the walls from water vapor and seepage. To enhance both durability and appearance, we incorporated EverLast Wall Panels, which are resistant to moisture and mold, and ThermalDry Elite Flooring, a waterproof and insulating solution that protects the floor while improving comfort and aesthetics.

With these comprehensive systems in place, the basement is now dry, healthy, and visually upgraded, ready for the homeowner to move forward with their renovation plans.
