Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Glen Burnie, MD, homeowner was facing increasing moisture levels in their crawl space, which were causing the support beams to weaken and leading to damp, unhealthy conditions throughout their home. The rising moisture not only created a musty smell but also threatened the structural integrity of the house as the beams began to sag, affecting the floors above. Concerned about the long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a solution.

Next the team installed our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System to stabilize the sagging beams and lift the floors back to their original position, while our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was applied to seal the ground and prevent future moisture from entering the space.

With these comprehensive solutions in place, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, stable, and healthy environment, restoring both the foundation and overall peace of mind for the homeowner!

In Millersville, MD, a homeowner noticed a persistent moisture problem in their crawl space, causing concerns about mold growth, musty odors, and potential damage to the home’s foundation.

A homeowner in Severna Park, MD reached out to us regarding repairs for their damp crawl space, which was experiencing moisture and humidity issues. This condition can arise from external elements infiltrating the crawl space, leading to problems such as wood rot, elevated energy costs, and potential mold growth. To address this concern proactively, we dispatched our System Design Specialist to conduct an inspection. He recommended the installation of an encapsulation system to effectively isolate the crawl space from the external environment. Our foreman, Bernie, successfully installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, ensuring the crawl space remains dry and healthy. Since the installation, the homeowner has reported no further issues with their crawl space.

When this homeowner from Severna Park, MD decided to turn their dark, unfinished basement into a functional living space, they wanted a solution that was both stylish and durable.

Recently, a homeowner in Severna Park, MD had ambitious plans to finish their basement, but ongoing water seepage was causing persistent dampness, structural damage, and a musty atmosphere. These moisture issues were preventing them from moving forward with their renovation goals and creating an environment that was both unhealthy and uninhabitable.

Seeking a long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, and our team promptly conducted a detailed inspection of the basement to assess the scope of the problem. After identifying the key areas of concern, we designed a customized waterproofing solution tailored to address the unique challenges of the space.

To effectively tackle the moisture problem, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter, directing water to the sump pump and away from the living area. We then added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a moisture barrier to protect the walls from water vapor and seepage. To enhance both durability and appearance, we incorporated EverLast Wall Panels, which are resistant to moisture and mold, and ThermalDry Elite Flooring, a waterproof and insulating solution that protects the floor while improving comfort and aesthetics.

With these comprehensive systems in place, the basement is now dry, healthy, and visually upgraded, ready for the homeowner to move forward with their renovation plans.
