This Millersville, MD customer reached out to our company in need of an Egress upgrade and partial basement finishing. The window currently in the basement was your small standard size window with a metal well. Wanting to finish the basement, the customer asked to upgrade this window to an Egress to not only allow a quick and safe exit from the basement, but this would also allow a lot of natural sunlight to enter the basement.
Our company came out and installed a 48x48 Slider Egress window with a Rockwell, Rockwell cover and a WellDuct. Once the Egress was in place we got to the finishing portion of the project. Customer was only looking for a partial finishing and this included a ceiling install, a wall system, access door panels and then an interior door. Material we used to complete this portion of the project was our Prestige, textured,Non-Organic Ceiling Tiles and our Maintenance free TBF Everlast Wall System.
In this uninsulated crawl space, vapor was coming up through the ground soil into the home, causing the master bedroom to be extremely cold during the winter months. To encapsulate the space, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor barrier that will capture and prevent any moisture that seeps in from the dirt floor. By sealing off the air movement from the ground, it will also close off the temperature from the living space above, making the floors and rooms above feel warmer in the winter months.
In this basement in Millersville, MD, the kitchen window was starting to leak and was in need of replacement. We removed and hauled away the original window to install our EverLast Basement Window, which is double-pane glass, which won't rot or rust and helps prevent heat loss during those cold months. We use special techniques to eliminate air leaks through the gaps around the window ledges, which will make a great impact on electric bills.
This Maryland homeowner reached out to our company in reference to replacing 4 original basement windows and wells. This replacement consisted of our 4 EverLast Windows and 4 Sunhouse Enclosures.
When this Phoenix, MD homeowner began noticing damp spots, musty odors, and water stains in their basement, they grew concerned about potential mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage. Seeking a comprehensive and permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems to assess the situation and provide a tailored waterproofing plan.
Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified multiple sources of moisture intrusion, including groundwater seeping along the foundation, surface water pooling near the basement entry points, and minor leaks around windows. To address these issues, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect groundwater, a TrenchDrain System paired with a TripleSafe Sump Pump to manage surface water and ensure reliable water removal, CleanSpace Wall Panels to protect the walls and channel seepage into the drainage system, and a SunHouse Window Well to prevent water accumulation around basement windows.
This comprehensive approach provided the homeowner with a dry, safe, and structurally secure basement while protecting the home from further water damage!
