Before & After Photos

Recently, in Elkton, MD, a homeowner was struggling with ongoing water seepage in their basement, a problem that traced back to a lack of an effective drainage system. The persistent moisture not only threatened the basement’s usability but also posed potential risks to the home’s foundation and indoor air quality. Seeking a permanent and professional solution, the homeowner turned to the trusted experts at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a comprehensive evaluation.

Following a detailed inspection, System Design Specialist Mark developed a fully customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs. The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain System to efficiently capture and redirect incoming water, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure reliable water removal even during heavy storms or power outages. To further enhance protection, our IceGuard Discharge Line was installed to prevent freezing-related backups, while our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier helped control humidity and improve overall air quality.

Together, these advanced systems delivered long-term drainage support, safeguarded the basement from future moisture intrusion, and provided the homeowner with lasting peace of mind!

After noticing moisture and energy loss coming from their crawl space, this homeowner from Elkton, MD chose a targeted waterproofing and insulation solution. CleanSpace was installed to seal the crawl space from ground moisture and outside air, creating a durable vapor barrier that helps protect the home from damp conditions. SilverGlo insulation was added along the walls to provide moisture-resistant insulation and improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the home. Together, these upgrades transformed the crawl space into a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient area, improving comfort and protection throughout the home.

For this basement waterproofing project, we installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, Waterguard around the perimeter of the basement, a SuperSump Pump with Battery Backup, and a SaniDry Dehumidifier. 

The CleanSpace Vapor barrier will direct any water coming in through the walls, down to the WaterGuard, which is then directed over to the SuperSump to be pumped out of the basement. 

In Millington, MD a homeowner had been struggling with persistent water seepage in their basement, a problem exacerbated by heavy rainfall that left the space damp and vulnerable. Over time, the ongoing moisture intrusion raised serious concerns about potential structural decay and mold growth, prompting the homeowner to seek a permanent solution.

Quality 1st was called in to provide a long-term fix, and our crew responded by conducting a thorough inspection of the basement to assess the extent of the issue. Based on our findings, we developed a tailored waterproofing strategy that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, along with our powerful TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure reliable water removal.

With these advanced systems in place, the homeowner can now enjoy a dry, healthy, and mold-free basement, knowing that further water intrusion is no longer a concern. The result was total peace of mind and a basement that is once again safe, inviting, and protected from further water damage.

Cinderblock walls had "stair cracks", signs of mold, and water intrusion. To correct this issue, we installed Carbon Armour Strips that will stabilize the cracked walls, we did a mold remediation treatment, installed 2 SuperSump Pumps, Waterguard, and a CleanSpace vapor Barrier.
