Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This customer contacted us due to the wet basement smell soon after he purchased the home. We had our inspector go out to evaluate the basement and he found hairline cracks in foundation walls where water was coming through. We solved this by installing WaterGuard around the perimeter to keep the basement dry and Carbon Armor to reinforce the wall. Afterwards, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor barrier to prevent future wall seepage and leaks. The white poly surface also eliminates the need to paint basement walls, providing a bright and stain-resistant finish.

A homeowner in Joppa, MD, was dealing with recurring moisture intrusion caused by an outdated sump pump system that had failed to provide adequate protection. Over time, the persistent moisture led to growing concerns about mold growth and potential rot, leaving the homeowner worried about the long-term damage to their home. Determined to resolve the issue once and for all, they reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation. Additionally, we replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, designed to provide reliable, powerful water removal.

With these advanced systems in place, we successfully eliminated further water seepage and gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their basement would stay dry and protected!

A homeowner in Joppa, MD, was fed up with the ongoing water seepage that had plagued their basement for years, creating a damp, musty environment and raising concerns about mold and long-term damage.

After contacting Quality 1st, our team conducted a thorough assessment and installed a comprehensive waterproofing system that included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, the reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, moisture-blocking CleanSpace Wall Panels, our powerful SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and our freeze-resistant IceGuard Discharge Line. These components worked together seamlessly to capture and remove water, control humidity, and prevent future moisture intrusion. As a result, the basement was completely transformed into a dry, healthy, and welcoming space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a newly revitalized area to enjoy!

In this basement, the bottom of the moldy paneling was removed so that we could install WaterGuard and do mold remediation with Moldx2. After the repairs were made, we installed the inorganic TBF Everlast wall system, which is guaranteed for 50 years against Mold or water damage.

This customer had a finished basement that had 3 bedrooms, but before these bedrooms could become livable spaces, there needed to be an emergency exit in play. The customer reached out to us to install 3 Egress windows, one in each of the bedrooms. Egress windows are not only good for a quick and safe way to exit the basement in case of an emergency, but these windows also allow in a lot of natural light, making the bedroom brighter, causing you to use less electric via having the light on during the day. 

The customer chose to have 3, Slider Egress Windows with Rockwells and Rockwell Covers installed along with WellDucts that would tie in to the current waterproofing system.
