Basement Waterproofing 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.
