Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

What lies beneath can have a bigger impact than most homeowners realize. In Ellicott City, MD, one homeowner discovered this firsthand when they became overwhelmed by persistent moisture and musty odors rising from their crawl space. Over time, the area had grown increasingly damp, with visible signs of wear, wood deterioration, and a lingering sense of unclean air throughout the home. Concerned about the long-term effects on both their health and their property’s foundation, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a lasting, professional solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team identified widespread moisture intrusion caused by exposed earth, poor sealing, and lack of vapor protection. To resolve the issue, we installed our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, 20-mil thick liner engineered to seal the crawl space floor and walls completely. This system isolates the home from ground moisture, reduces humidity, and helps prevent mold and structural damage.

The results were immediate, the crawl space became clean, dry, and protected, offering the homeowner renewed peace of mind and long-term protection beneath their home.

Growing concern over rising dampness and humidity in their crawl space led this Ellicott City, MD homeowner to seek professional help. Persistent water seepage had begun to create an unhealthy environment beneath their home, raising the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and potential structural weakening.

Wanting a long-term solution to protect their property, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an expert evaluation and reliable waterproofing plan.

Following a thorough inspection, our team identified the primary sources of moisture intrusion and designed a custom waterproofing system to address the issue. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, reinforced liner that was carefully secured to the crawl space floors and walls to create a continuous moisture seal.

This installation effectively prevents ground humidity from entering the space, helping to maintain a dry, healthy, and energy-efficient environment throughout the home!

New Rockwell egress window and well in Ellicott City. 

This customer wanted to finish their basement but first wanted to take care of replacing their leaking window. Since they were going to finish the basement, they decided not to replace the window with just another standard basement window but instead with an Egress. Egress windows allow in a lot of natural light and are also a means for a fast and safe exit during an emergency.

We installed a 48 x 48 Slider Egress window along with a 48" RockWell and Well Cover.

Customer reached out to us because they had a standard basement window that they were looking to turn in to an Egress. When we got out to the property the customer decided on keeping the original window and installing an Egress right next to it.

This project consisted of us digging down and cutting out a 48" x 68" Egress opening in the foundation. Once we had the egress opening we then installed a 48" x 60" Slider Egress Window with a 36" RockWell and Elite Cover.
