Before & After Photos

In Essex, MD, a homeowner was dealing with severe moisture intrusion in their basement, caused by an outdated sump pump that could no longer keep up with the volume of water entering the space. As conditions grew damper, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about potential rot, mold growth, and long-term structural damage. Wanting a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st for expert help in protecting their home from ongoing water issues.

After a detailed inspection, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan to address the root of the problem. We installed our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump, a three-pump system designed to provide powerful, layered protection, featuring a primary pump, a secondary for heavy water flow, and a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages. To further protect the system in cold weather, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes.

With these systems in place, we eliminated the risk of future water intrusion and successfully transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and worry-free space.

After battling constant moisture and a lingering musty smell in their basement, this homeowner in Essex, MD decided it was time for a reliable solution to protect their home. They chose to waterproof their basement with CleanSpace, a heavy-duty vapor barrier designed to seal out dampness and prevent mold growth. Installed along the walls and floor, CleanSpace transformed the basement into a bright, clean, and dry space. With improved air quality and a solid defense against moisture, the homeowner now enjoys a healthier home environment and the confidence that their basement is fully protected year-round.

Persistent water issues had begun affecting an Essex, MD homeowner’s basement, raising concerns about mold growth, rot, and long-term structural damage. Seeking a reliable, lasting solution, they turned to Quality 1st for professional guidance.

Our team conducted a thorough assessment of the basement, pinpointing the exact sources of moisture intrusion and designing a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

The solution included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to redirect groundwater, our TrenchDrain System for interior water control, our Window WellDuct System to protect vulnerable window areas, our TripleSafe Sump Pump for dependable water removal, and our IceGuard Discharge Line to maintain effective exterior drainage. Once installed, these high-performance systems worked together to eliminate dampness and prevent future water intrusion, restoring the basement to a dry, safe, and healthy environment. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind knowing their basement is fully protected for years to come!

This customer had two hairline fractures in the concrete foundation, that when it would rain, would allow water to intrude in the basement. This customer wanted to finish their basement further down the road, but knew before he jumped on such a big costly project, the water intrusion would need to be taken care of. 

We came out and injected the hairline cracks with our Polyurethane Injection which is a repair system that can stop water seepage immediately. We follow up the Polyurethane injection with our FlexiSpan repair system. Flexispan, as it says in the name, is flexible and moves with the wall if the foundation walls happen to move.  This eliminates re-cracking and seepage further down the road.

We were called out to this property to tackle the ongoing moisture issue in the basement. We came out and installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, Waterguard, and a SuperSump Pump.
