Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This was a partially finished basement, and the ground would get saturated during rainstorms. We removed the old pump and installed our SuperSump sealed pump system that is strong, reliable and can pump out 2,280 gallons per hour. Our SuperSump features a built-in alarm system that indicates when water levels get high, an airtight lid that keeps any moisture or debris out, and has a floor drain, allowing water to drain into the pump. 

This Worton, MD, homeowner was growing increasingly overwhelmed by persistent water seepage in their basement. The constant moisture not only made the space uncomfortable but also raised serious concerns about the risk of structural rot and mold growth. Recognizing the potential long-term damage to their home, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st in search of a permanent and effective waterproofing solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the specific issues found in the basement. We installed our TrenchDrain System at vulnerable entry points to capture surface water, the WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter to intercept and redirect seepage, and CleanSpace Wall Panels to act as a vapor barrier while improving the basement’s appearance.

Together, these systems worked seamlessly to eliminate moisture intrusion, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected space, ultimately giving the homeowner total peace of mind!

Ground water running through a sump pump system can cause dirt and grime to accumulate in the bottom of the sump pump liner. After the Service Technician Javier removes the airtight lid, he removes the cast-iron pump and its components so he can clean the sump pump stands and sanitize the liner. The pump is checked and cleaned, check valves are changed, and float switch is checked. The SuperSump sump pump in this Worton, MD home is reassembled and once again ready to operate effectively and efficiently, pumping out 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head!  

Customer had a few cracks along the basement wall and when it would rain, water would seep in through the cracks. To take care of this, we used our patented product called FlexiSpan. Flexispan is a 2 part system, a crack sealant and a hidden drainage channel that directs any leaking water to your sump pump. The drainage channel is permanently sealed to the foundation, and if there is any wall movement, the channel will flex with it. 

In this damp basement in Port Deposit, MD the cement walls were leaking with moisture and then over time sitting on the floor of the basement. We dug a trench along the perimeter of the floor where the moisture was coming in, to install our WaterGuard French Drain. This drain system will collect the water from the floor joint, redirect it to the sump chamber, and safely pumps out the water.
