Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In this unfinished basement, water would build up at the back door due to the old trench drain collecting debris. We were able to remove the old trench drain from the entryway and installed our TrenchDrain water system. The sub-floor drain captures any surface water and has a grated cover that can easily be removed and cleaned, keeping your basement entry dry.  

When a Baltimore, MD homeowner noticed their basement turning damp and uncomfortable, they knew it was time to take action before moisture caused more serious damage. Persistent humidity and saturated conditions not only compromised the space’s usability but also raised concerns about mold growth and structural decay.

Upon inspection, our Quality 1st team discovered the root cause: the basement lacked a proper vapor barrier and efficient moisture control systems, allowing water vapor to infiltrate and linger unchecked.

To combat the issue, we implemented a tailored waterproofing solution featuring our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which effectively seals basement walls and floors to block moisture intrusion and prevent mold. Complementing this, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, a high-efficiency system designed to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round.

Together, these systems transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and restoring full functionality to their space!

After observing clear signs of water intrusion in their basement, a homeowner in Baltimore, MD grew increasingly concerned about the potential for mold growth and structural deterioration. Seeking a reliable, long-term solution, they reached out to the waterproofing experts at Quality 1st.

Our team performed a thorough inspection to determine the extent and source of the seepage, enabling us to develop a tailored plan to address both the immediate water concerns and prevent future damage.

To resolve the issue, we installed a full waterproofing system that included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation’s perimeter, a TrenchDrain System to intercept surface water, and a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for dependable water removal. We complemented these installations with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels and CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a vapor-proof barrier and improve the basement’s appearance.

Together, these systems work seamlessly to keep the space clean, dry, and protected, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a healthier home environment!

At this Baltimore home, the sump pump was no longer pumping enough water out. We had our team dig out the sump and install our SuperSump pump system with a Zoeller M53 cast iron pump, liner and airtight lid. This product has features such as an alarm system for when the water level rises, if a breaker trips, or if there is a malfunction. This sump system protects your basement from flooding and seals off any odor or harmful gases that could potentially escape. 

This row home owner called due to the musty smell he was getting from the basement. This home was shortly getting closed on and was in need of our WaterGuard sub-floor Drainage System. The team dug around the perimeter of the foundation to install the drain and then connect it to the TripleSafe pump system, safely taking the water away. Lastly, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that lies on the walls to collect the moisture/vapor coming through, which keeps your basement dry and musty-smell-free.
