Before & After Photos

At this recently purchased home, the owner had a rainstorm that caused water to flow into the basement where the floor and wall meet. In order to get water to properly flow to the sump pump, we installed our interior water drain system, WaterGuard, which captures any seepage or water leaks. The sub-floor drainage system is laid flush around the perimeter of the basement and is designed to keep your basement dry all year round. 

What was once a dark, damp basement in a Baltimore, MD home became the perfect opportunity for a full waterproofing transformation. The homeowner had been dealing with persistent moisture issues, damp walls, a musty smell, and visible signs of mold were creating an unhealthy environment and raising serious concerns about long-term structural damage. Ready for a lasting solution, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems.

After a thorough inspection, our team designed a custom waterproofing plan, beginning with the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. This system was placed just above the foundation footing to collect and redirect water before it could reach the basement floor, providing a reliable and low-maintenance solution to ongoing water intrusion.

To enhance the effectiveness of the system and protect against future moisture problems, we also installed our CleanSpace Wall Panels. These panels not only serve as a highly effective vapor barrier, blocking moisture from seeping through the walls, but they also brighten the space with a clean, finished appearance. Together, our WaterGuard and CleanSpace Systems worked seamlessly to transform the basement from a damp, uninviting area into a dry, healthy, and comfortable living space. The homeowner can now enjoy their basement with total peace of mind, knowing it’s protected against further water damage!

Concerns began to rise for a Baltimore, MD homeowner when persistent dampness and musty odors started spreading through their basement. What initially appeared as elevated humidity soon revealed itself as a more serious issue, raising fears of wood rot, mold growth, and potential structural damage. Wanting a long-term and dependable solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a professional assessment and lasting waterproofing plan.

After inspecting the space, our team pinpointed the exact source of water intrusion and designed a customized solution tailored to the home’s needs. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water before it could reach the basement floor, ensuring effective and continuous protection. To further shield the space, we added our moisture-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels, which prevent water vapor from passing through basement walls while improving the overall look of the area.

Together, these high-performance systems restored the basement to a dry, clean, and healthy condition, giving the homeowner confidence in the long-term protection of their home!

This main support beam running in this basement was in need of some support itself. We had the perfect solution for this problem, SmartJacks! SmartJacks are high-capacity adjustable steel piers, designed to stop settling and even raise your floor back up to where it was. 

At this home in Baltimore, MD, the crawl space was bringing cold drafts into the upper levels of the home. The homeowner knew this was an issue, so they contacted us for a solution. We encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace System, which is designed to reduce moisture and humidity. We also installed our SilverGlo Insulated Wall Panels, which have a built-in heat barrier, creating a more energy-efficient area. Thanks to our Inspector, Jeff, and our crewman Jordan, the homeowner's peace of mind was restored!
