Before & After Photos

At this Middle River home, water was coming in through the basement stairwell door and the homeowner realized that the pipeline connecting to the sump pump system had rusted over, being no longer connected. Our team went in to dig a trench on the outside of the stairwell door to install our TrenchDrain sub-floor system. The simplest, most effective way to stop the basement from flooding is by having a sub-floor drain that will prevent water from entering the outer entryway. 

In this dirt floor crawl space in Middle River, MD, mold was present on the beams along with the start of wood rot, which had caused the need to replace the subfloor. A plastic tarp was placed on the dirt floor to be used as a vapor barrier, which we replaced with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will reduce the moisture and humidity coming in. The team also wrapped the bottom of each pier with the CleanSpace barrier to fully encapsulate the crawlspace, turning it from a dark, dirty space into a clean and dry area. 

Water has been getting into this dirt crawlspace in this Middle River, MD home. The insulation from the last job was falling off the walls. They called Quality 1st Basements to assess their water damage. System Design Specialist, Jeff Yentzer did a full inspection and recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation. CleanSpace is made from a durable liner that creates a barrier from the moist wall to the crawlspace air and the material doesn't support the growth of mold or mildew. The homeowner can now relax knowing their encapsulated crawlspace is fully protected from further moisture damage and they have a pleasing to the eye storage space. 

In Middle River, MD, a homeowner was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in their basement, caused by the lack of a proper drainage system. Over time, the moisture buildup led to a damp, musty environment that made the space unusable and raised concerns about mold growth and structural damage. Frustrated by the worsening conditions, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution to protect their home.

After performing a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan centered around the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. This advanced system was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor to capture water seepage at its source and redirect it to a sump pump for safe removal.

With WaterGuard in place, we eliminated the risk of future water intrusion and transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and stable space the homeowner could feel confident in once again!
