Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

At this brick home, the owner was beginning to see cracks in the foundation and above the one window on the outside of the basement. We removed the trim at the top of the window to install the lintel, then on the outside cracks, we filled in with mortar. Once the Egress Brick Lintel is securely placed, we filled in the cracks/seams on the inside of the home with Epoxy caulking, making the newly updated window safe from window leaks.  

In Nottingham, MD, a homeowner was dealing with persistent moisture intrusion in their basement, caused by small cracks along the foundation walls that allowed water to seep in during heavy rains. The ongoing damp conditions not only made the space uncomfortable but also raised concerns about potential mold growth and long-term structural damage. Seeking a permanent fix, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help.

After conducting a detailed inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing solution that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect incoming water, our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to ensure efficient and reliable water removal, and our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a durable moisture barrier and improve overall air quality.

Together, these systems eliminated the seepage issues and transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected space the homeowner could finally enjoy with peace of mind!

At this home, we removed the old sump pump system due to it malfunctioning when it would rain heavily, then installed our TripleSafe sump with twin liner and UltraSump battery backup. In order to keep this basement dry, it would need triple the protection that can handle high volumes of water and have a backup battery in case of a power outage. This product features an air-tight lid that will cut down the noise of the system and is the most reliable sump pump system. 

In this partially finished basement in Nottingham, MD, the existing pump was no longer pumping out the amount of water it was taking in. We removed and hauled away the old carpet in order to install our SuperSump system that connects to the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system. Alongside the foundation walls, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that will capture any moisture leaking into the home and have it flow down into the floor drain. By installing this system, the partially finished basement will remain dry and in case of a power outage or circuit shorts, the backup battery will kick in, keeping the system flowing. 

The basement in this home was going to be used as a daycare but before they could go forward with those plans, there needed to be a safe exit plan in play, in case exiting up the stairs, was not an option.

Currently there were 2 small, side by side, above grade windows and we needed to turn one into an Egress. This job ended up being a custom install of a 36x40 Egress Window.

Now with this install the customer can run his childcare program knowing the kids have a quick and safe exit in case of any emergencies.
