Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

What began as occasional dampness quickly turned into a persistent water issue for a homeowner in Havre De Grace, MD, leaving them concerned about the long-term effects on their home’s structure and air quality. Determined to protect their investment, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional evaluation. Our team conducted a detailed inspection and pinpointed the source of the water intrusion, seepage through the basement’s perimeter and foundation floor joints.

To resolve the issue, we implemented a tailored waterproofing system starting with our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture and redirect water before it reaches the basement floor. We then installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three levels of protection to ensure continuous water removal, even during power outages or heavy storms. To complete the waterproofing process, we installed our durable IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring that the systems work as efficiently as possible even during colder months.

With this comprehensive solution in place, the homeowner can now enjoy a clean, dry basement and lasting peace of mind!

After several heavy rainfalls, this Havre De Grace, MD homeowner began to notice that water was slowly making its way into the basement, leaving behind damp walls and pooling along the floor. What started as a minor nuisance soon raised concerns about potential mold growth and long-term foundation damage.

Wanting a reliable and permanent fix, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an expert evaluation. During our inspection, our System Design Specialist identified poor drainage around the foundation as the primary cause of the seepage and developed a dynamic waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

To permanently resolve the issue, the crew installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture and direct groundwater to our TripleSafe Sump Pump System for efficient removal. This triple-pump design ensures the basement remains protected even during heavy storms or power outages. To further safeguard the discharge line during freezing temperatures, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents backups and allows water to safely exit the home year-round.

With these systems working together, the homeowner can now enjoy a clean, dry, and healthy basement, completely protected from further water intrusion!

Floors above the crawlspace were beginning to sag in this new homeowner's home. We came out, and it was determined that the crawl space needed a little more work than she had inspected.

There was moisture in the crawl space, causing areas of mold, so first we treated the mold with a Mold X Treatment, then we installed a SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, waterguard, a Smart Sump with floor alarm and Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier. The floors above the crawl space had failing joist supports and rotted sill plates, so we corrected the issue by replacing 11 sill plates, installing 5 Supplemental Steal Beams and 9 Smart Jacks.
