Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Heavy rainfall throughout the season began creating persistent moisture issues for a Parkville, MD homeowner, who soon noticed their basement becoming damp and increasingly uncomfortable. Concerned about the potential for long-term damage, they contacted Quality 1st for a dependable and lasting waterproofing solution. After a detailed inspection, our team identified the precise source of the moisture intrusion, allowing us to craft a targeted plan that addressed the home’s specific needs.

The customized approach included installing our patented SmartSump System, our highly efficient SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and our IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure reliable protection during heavy weather.

Once these advanced systems were fully integrated, the results were immediate, the basement environment became noticeably drier, healthier, and far more comfortable. With the moisture problem resolved, the homeowner can now enjoy renewed peace of mind knowing their basement is protected for the long term!

This homeowner was in need of a new sump pump due to the old one not kicking on during heavy rain. The team installed our cast-iron Zoeller M53 pump that is built for quality, durability and is capable of pumping 2,600-6,200 gallons per hour. Connected to the pump we also installed our UltraSump battery back-up incase any power outage occurs which will keep your basement dry and water free. 

At this property in Parkville, MD, the laundry room area of the basement collects a lot of water seepage from heavy rain and also in the winter after snow melts. After evaluating the water problem, we installed the below-grade WaterGuard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. This system provides a permanent solution to help prevent basement flooding and also collects water from wall leaks that will be redirected into the below-grade drain.

At this home the owners were experiencing water coming in through the basement door and the walls on the inside of the home were starting to deteriorate due to the water damage. Our team jackhammered along the outside of the doorway to install our TrenchDrain that is a grated drain which sits flush to the door and prevents doorway flooding. The drain is integrated with the drainage system that connects into the sump pump system that will safely pump out any water that comes down into the stairwell. 

To prevent water from intruding in this Parkville, MD basement, our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement's perimeter, with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system lining the walls.
