Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Customer had an old Sump pump that just could not keep up with the amount of water getting into their basement, we came out and installed a TripleSafe Sump pump which can discharge 2200 gallons of water per hour, WaterGuard drainage system which will collect the water coming in through the walls and direct it to that TripleSafe sump pump and then to make sure the humidity levels in the basement stay down, we installed our Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier.

This customer wants to change a small basement window into an egress which provides more natural light as well as an emergency exit. We installed an In-Swing Egress window, Egress Rockwell Cascade and an Egress Rockwell Elite cover. For added protection, we also installed our Well Duct system with WaterGuard. In a rare case where water may come over the window ledge, the WellDuct will guide the water down the wall into our WaterGuard system and into the sump pump.

In this stone floor crawl space, the homeowners were noticing cold drafts coming in through the house and were in need of encapsulating it. Inside the crawl space, we placed our drainage matting under the CleanSpace liner that will transform the damp, dirty space into a clean, dry foundation. Then we installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier all around the foundation walls and on the bottom of each pier, which will then create better conditioning air by resolving water issues.

A homeowner in Essex, MD, was concerned about persistent water seepage in their crawl space, which had become damp and unstable due to consistent rainfall. The moisture was not only causing the area to feel musty and uncomfortable but also threatening the structural integrity of the home. Seeking a long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, and our team quickly assessed the situation, creating a customized waterproofing and stabilization plan to address the specific issues.

Our dynamic solution included the installation of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to keep moisture at bay, along with our SmartJack System to provide structural support and lift sagging beams. The SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump was added to effectively remove water, while CleanSpace Vent Covers sealed out humid outdoor air and pests. To further control moisture, we installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, ensuring the air in the crawl space stayed dry and healthy. These systems worked together to eliminate future water intrusion and transform the crawl space into a dry, stable, and healthy environment that the homeowner can confidently rely on for years to come.

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.
