Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In Reisterstown, MD, a homeowner grew increasingly concerned after noticing water seepage around their basement and crawl space. Fearing the long-term effects of moisture, such as structural deterioration, mold growth, and poor air quality, they reached out to our team at Quality 1st for a professional solution.

Our specialists conducted a detailed inspection and identified the key areas contributing to the water intrusion. Understanding the homeowner’s need for a lasting and efficient fix, we designed a customized waterproofing strategy tailored to the unique challenges of their property.

To address the water issues, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation level and direct it safely away, along with a TrenchDrain System to intercept surface water at key entry points. We then added CleanSpace Wall Panels and SilverGlo Insulation Panels to create a moisture-resistant, insulated barrier, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort. In the crawl space, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System sealed off the earth's moisture, while the powerful SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain optimal humidity levels and prevent mold growth.

With this complete system in place, the basement and crawl space were fully transformed into a dry, healthy, and functional area, giving the homeowner confidence and peace of mind.

This customer was in the market for an Egress installation for their finished basement, and reached out to us for help. There are many benefits to Egress windows, they add value to your home, due to their large size, they allow a ton of natural lighting to shine through and brighten up the dark basement and, Egress windows are also a quick and safe way to exit the basement in case of an emergency. For this Egress project we installed a 60x48 Slider Egress Window and paired it with out Egress Rockwell and Rockwell cover.

Here at this property the sump system was not pumping enough water out and was in need of getting replaced. The team installed our TripleSafe pump system with twin liner that has our UltraSump battery back up system with control box alarm. This triple pump system will adjust to the pumping requirements and the battery back up will protect the home from flooding during power outages, keeping your basement safe and dry. 

Looking to insulate and cover up those bare or ugly foundation walls? While most homeowners like to run to putting up fiberglass insulation and hanging dry wall, its not the best idea to use these organic and moisture magnet products in the basement. Dry wall will become wet if there is a leak and since it is made of organic material, it will start to grow mold. Fiberglass insulation, when wet, will start to separate and fall down, now you have cold drafts sneaking in durning those cold months, just hiking your energy bill up.

Our Basement To Beautiful Panels are 2 products in one. It is insulation panels, that frame your walls. These panels will not rot, be damaged by moisture or attract mold making them the perfect panels for a basement installation. 

Looking to finish your basement down the road? No worries, our mold proof, EverLast Wall Panel system are a perfect option that can be installed directly on top of the Basement to Beautiful Panels. 

When we first arrived at the Owings Mills building, the basement walls were bare, and water was finding its way inside. Recognizing the risks this posed to a soon-to-be-finished space, we installed a tailored waterproofing system. Our work included setting up the WaterGuard perimeter drain, paired with a SuperSump system that effectively channels water out. To handle winter challenges, we added the IceGuard, which allows discharge even if the exterior lines freeze. Finally, we installed the CleanSpace wall liner, providing a protective barrier that will keep moisture out. Today, the basement stands transformed—ready for finishing without the worry of future water intrusion.
