Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Monkton, MD, recently turned to us at Quality 1st for help with a recurring basement issue. They had an existing waterproofing system, yet water was persistently weeping through the walls and bypassing the older system, causing frustration and worry. To fix this issue, we recommended and installed a combination of our innovative WaterGuard perimeter drainage system and the TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard system acts by discreetly fetching any wall and floor water seepage before it has a chance to touch the basement floors. Its design is non-obtrusive enough that the homeowner didn't lose any floor space to install it. Water quietly channels through openings directly into the system and is efficiently directed to the upgraded TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump system, with its triple-tier protection and battery backup, addresses three common pump failure reasons: malfunctions, overloads, and power outages, offering precise and reliable water management.

Customers' current sump pump could not keep up with the amount of water getting into the basement when it rained, so we came out and installed our Super Sump Pump with battery backup. 

In Towson, MD, a homeowner grew concerned after noticing consistent water intrusion in their basement, particularly through visible cracks in the foundation walls. Recognizing the risks of ongoing moisture, such as mold growth, structural damage, and the loss of usable space, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional evaluation. Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified the need for a comprehensive waterproofing solution tailored to the unique conditions of the home.

To effectively address the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter to capture water at its point of entry and redirect it to our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which efficiently removes the collected water from the basement. In addition, we applied our FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System to permanently seal the foundation cracks and prevent future leaks.

These three systems worked together to eliminate moisture-related problems and restore the basement to a dry, stable, and protected environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and the confidence to consider future basement finishing projects.

This homeowner was experiencing water intrusion in their basement in Towson, MD. The water was coming up through the bottom of the doorframe. The moisture was creating potential mold on the wall. Our System Design Specialist did a full inspection and suggested TrenchDrain to drain the water at the doorway and direct it to the sump pump. The homeowner could now relax knowing that their basement was protected from further water damage and mold growth. 

At this property, we installed our waterproofing system with our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that connects to the sump system. On the outside of the home, we connected our IceGuard system, which is designed to prevent floods in winter and allows water to escape from the sump pump discharge line if frozen or clogged for any reason. This installation ejects water away from the foundation and will provide extra protection against flooding in the basement.
