Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Recently, a homeowner in Baltimore, MD began noticing increasingly damp conditions in their basement, raising concerns about potential structural rot and mold growth. Worried about the long-term impact on their home, they reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, lasting solution.

After a thorough inspection of the space, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to address the specific moisture issues. The plan included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, along with our TrenchDrain System to manage surface water and prevent seepage around entryways. Additionally, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which provided a waterproof barrier and brightened the basement.

With these powerful systems in place, we successfully eliminated any further moisture intrusion, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy, and inviting space, and giving the homeowner peace of mind.

All the walls had to be removed in this basement because they had mold and water damage.  We made repairs to the foundation wall using carbon fiber straps and installed a waterproofing system including the WaterGuard drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump.  Next we replaced the old drywall with waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage.  We also installed our ThermalDry Flooring system designed specifically for cold basement floors. The basement was transformed and the homeowners were happy!

In Parkville, MD, a homeowner was dealing with persistent water seepage in their basement, leaving the space damp, dreary, and nearly unusable. Over time, the constant moisture led to an unpleasant atmosphere, and the homeowner began avoiding the basement altogether. The water seepage not only created an uncomfortable environment but also raised concerns about potential damage to the home’s foundation and the health risks associated with mold and mildew growth. Feeling overwhelmed by the ongoing issue, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, long-term waterproofing solution.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and implemented a dynamic waterproofing system that would restore the basement’s integrity. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which effectively channels water away from the foundation, preventing further seepage. To ensure the space remained dry during any storm or power outage, we added our TripleSafe Sump Pump, equipped with a battery backup and alarm for added security. Finally, we enhanced the basement’s appearance and energy efficiency by installing CleanSpace Wall Panels, which acted as a moisture barrier, keeping the space dry and healthy.

The transformation was remarkable, turning the once problematic basement into a dry, inviting, and functional area that the homeowner can now enjoy without worry!

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.
