This Baltimore County resident asked us to come out to another property of his for basement waterproofing. Leaving that property behind and purchasing another in the same county, it unfortunately had the same issue, when it would rain, water would enter in through the block foundation walls. Liking the waterproofing system that was installed at his other property, he reached back out to us for help.
We fully waterproofed this basement with the help of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump and IceGuard. Our CleanSpace is placed from floor to ceiling on the foundation walls and it is tied directly into the Waterguard perimeter drain. Any water that may think it is getting into this basement to cause issues, will be met by this barrier and it will be directed straight down to the Waterguard. Once water enters the Waterguard it will then travel over to the SuperSump Pump. SuperSump then takes that water and pumps it outside via the discharge line. As added protection for the basement, we installed our IceGuard on the exterior of the foundation, where the discharge line is. Thanks to the design of our Iceguard, it will stop any water from backing into the basement if and when the discharge line freezes in those cold winter months.
We recently assisted a homeowner in Baltimore, MD, who had been dealing with persistent wet basement conditions caused by ongoing water seepage, primarily due to a lack of proper drainage support. As moisture continued to infiltrate the space, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about the potential for mold growth and structural decay. In search of a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st to address the issue before it caused further damage. Our team quickly assessed the situation and developed a plan to install a comprehensive waterproofing system to resolve the ongoing water problems and protect the integrity of the home.
Our team arrived at the home and began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation. To ensure reliable water removal, we installed the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which is designed to handle high volumes of water. We also added our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing and ensure proper water flow during the colder months. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which provide a moisture-resistant barrier against future water intrusion. With these high-performance systems in place, the homeowner’s basement is now dry, healthy, and protected, giving them peace of mind knowing their home is safeguarded from future water damage.
In Baltimore, MD, a homeowner noticed signs of foundation settlement around their basement, including cracks in the walls and floors. As the settlement worsened, water intrusion became a growing issue, creating an unhealthy and unstable environment. Concerned about the long-term structural integrity of their home, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a professional assessment and solution. Our team responded promptly, conducting a thorough inspection to fully understand the extent of the damage and the underlying causes.
After assessing the situation, we developed a customized waterproofing and repair strategy. Our solution included the installation of the SmartJack Support System to stabilize and lift the settling foundation, effectively addressing the structural issues. Additionally, we installed our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent the discharge line from freezing during cold weather, ensuring proper water drainage year-round.
With these systems in place, the foundation was successfully stabilized, and the basement was transformed into a dry, stable, and healthy space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in their home’s long-term stability.
At this home in Baltimore, MD, the crawl space was bringing cold drafts into the upper levels of the home. The homeowner knew this was an issue, so they contacted us for a solution.
