Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In this recently purchased home, water was intruding through the basement walls after rainfall and would run down onto the cement floor with no place to go. We installed our sub-floor drainage system that collects any water coming down the wall, then flows through the channel into the sump pump system. We placed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier around the foundation wall that captures vapor or moisture that leaks in. By installing this system, the basement will no longer be damp from moisture and with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, the humidity level will drop exceedingly.  

This Rising Sun, MD, homeowner had become increasingly concerned with ongoing water seepage in their crawl space, which was leading to moisture buildup, mold growth, and musty odors that were affecting the overall air quality in their home. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to address the issue, they contacted Quality 1st for a long-term solution.

Our team recommended a comprehensive waterproofing system, including our patented Drainage Matting to redirect water away from the crawl space, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal the area and prevent moisture infiltration. To further manage water, we installed the SmartPipe Drainage System and the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, which efficiently pumped water out of the space, while the IceGuard Discharge Line System ensured proper water flow, even in freezing temperatures.

Once installed, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, healthy, and inviting environment, free from the moisture-related problems that had plagued the homeowner, giving them peace of mind and restoring their home’s integrity!

Recently in Rising Sun, MD, a homeowner was growing frustrated with ongoing water seepage in their basement, caused by an old sump pump that was no longer capable of handling the large volume of water entering the space. Tired of dealing with water damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a long-term waterproofing solution.

Our team arrived at the home and installed a comprehensive system, including our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water along the perimeter, TrenchDrain to manage surface water, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System for powerful, reliable pumping. To protect against winter freeze-ups, we added the IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring water could continue to be discharged even in cold weather. Finally, we installed the high-powered SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels and prevent mold growth.

With these systems in place, the basement was completely transformed into a dry, healthy, and inviting space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and confidence that their home was fully protected!

This was a very tough, low crawl space with lots of dampness. We had to clean it out first and remove all the organic material. Then we installed a drainage system with a SmartSump to deal with the water issues. The floor and walls were covered with our Cleanspace Encapsulation System to keep the moisture from the ground from evaporating into the air. The result is a transformed, dry, and safe crawl space.

For this job, we came out to the customer's home and replaced the current cinder blocks they used as a support system with our SmartJack System. Smart Jacks are adjustable supports that provide support to sagging floors and also lift and restore them to their original position.
