Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When a basement starts showing signs of persistent water problems, quick action is essential. This Reisterstown, MD homeowner was dealing with ongoing moisture intrusion caused by a leaky window and insufficient drainage support. Concerned about potential damage, mold growth, and long-term structural issues, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a reliable, customized solution.

Our team developed a diverse waterproofing strategy that addressed every source of water entry. We installed our RockWell Egress Window Well to prevent leaks through the window, a WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water along the basement perimeter, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System with primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps for continuous protection. To finish the space, we added EverLast Wall Panels, a moisture- and mold-resistant wall solution that provides a durable, low-maintenance finish.

Together, these systems eliminated water intrusion, protected the home’s foundation, and gave the homeowner lasting peace of mind!

When this homeowner from Reisterstown, MD decided to turn their basement into a livable space, they wanted it to be bright, safe, and worry-free. To achieve that, they installed a RockWell Egress Window, EverLast Wall Panels, and a TripleSafe, a combination that completely transformed their lower level. The RockWell egress window brought in abundant natural light and provided a safe emergency exit, instantly making the space feel open and inviting. The durable, waterproof EverLast wall panels added a clean, finished look that resists mold and moisture. Finally, the TripleSafe sump pump gave them peace of mind with its three levels of protection against basement flooding. 

This customer was in need of a sump pump upgrade so we delivered - in the form of a SuperSump pump system with a cast iron pump, capable of pumping up to 2,300 gallons per hour, a heavy-duty liner with an airtight lid that keeps moisture and critters from coming up into the basement, and a WaterWatch Alarm system which alerts you if the water in your sump gets higher than the point where the pump should turn on, giving you time to address the problem before damage occurs.

Another wise choice by this homeowner was our SaniDry Sedona, lovingly referred to as the “Pint-Sized Powerhouse” for its high performance and high efficiency. Small enough to fit in a crawl space, powerful enough to pull 100 pints of moisture out of the air per day and to move 300 cubic feet per minute (yup, I said minute) of that dry air around your space, and by way of a discharge hose, it automatically drains into your sump system. A true set it and forget it! As an added bonus, the SaniDry’s “duet” filter removes airborne allergens like mold spores, dust and the #1 offender, dust mite droppings!

Although not at all hard on the eyes, this small giant can be tucked away out of site and vented with ductwork into the rooms of your choosing.   

Move over, store-bought dehumidifiers. You don’t stand a chance against a Sedona!!

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.
