Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

At this home, the owner was getting a strong musty smell from the back room of the basement and noticed water was coming in through the cement blocks. As you can see, the water coming in through the corner is causing the discoloration and smell. We dug out the trench along the foundation to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drain that captures any wall seepage and then flows down into the sump pump system. Once the drainage system was installed, we placed our BrightWall paneling, which is designed to be an effective moisture and vapor barrier, to keep the basement dry from water. 

In this finished basement in Abingdon, MD, the owner was experiencing a strong smell of mold and then saw the discoloration of the foundation block once the wall was removed. Once the wall was removed, we installed our CleanSpace Wall System that captures all water seepage and vapor coming into the basement. This poly material covers the entire foundation wall that will flow any captured moisture into the perimeter drain system and carry it safely down into the sump pump system. 

In this basement in Abingdon, MD, the walls had water damage from seepage and moisture coming in through the cement blocks. We dug out a trench along the foundation wall in order to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, which will lie underneath the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The drain system will capture any water or moisture that seeps into the basement, then carry it down into the sump pump system. This installation will prevent water from entering the basement and will keep your home dry all year long. 

When persistent moisture began to threaten the structural integrity of their Abingdon, MD home, the homeowner took decisive action to protect their investment. After contacting Quality 1st Basement Systems, our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified excessive humidity and inadequate vapor barrier protection as the root causes of the crawl space’s damp conditions and potential mold growth.

To resolve these issues, we installed our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a heavy-duty, moisture-resistant liner that seals the crawl space from ground moisture. This was complemented by our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, a high-efficiency system engineered to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round.

Together, these solutions transformed the crawl space into a dry, healthy environment, preventing rot and mold while improving indoor air quality and providing the homeowner with lasting peace of mind!
