Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Moisture intrusion and weakened structural supports had started to compromise the integrity of a Baltimore, MD homeowner’s crawl space. The rising humidity levels not only threatened the air quality inside the home but also raised concerns about long-term foundation settlement and wood rot. Concerned about the potential for costly damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent solution. Our team performed a detailed inspection to assess the full extent of the issues and designed a comprehensive crawl space repair plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

To address water management, we installed Drainage Matting to direct any groundwater toward the newly installed SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, which offers reliable drainage in tight spaces. To restore structural stability, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System, adjustable steel supports designed to reinforce and lift the failing beams. We then encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, sealing out ground moisture and creating a cleaner, more energy-efficient environment. Finally, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity and prevent mold growth.

With these integrated systems in place, the crawl space was fully transformed into a dry, stable, and healthy environment, giving the homeowner confidence in the protection and longevity of their home.

In this unfinished basement, water would build up at the back door due to the old trench drain collecting debris. We were able to remove the old trench drain from the entryway and installed our TrenchDrain water system. The sub-floor drain captures any surface water and has a grated cover that can easily be removed and cleaned, keeping your basement entry dry.  

This customer reached out regarding their finished basement and had a window that had been leaking due to heavy rainfall. Our team had gone out to the property to remove the part of the wall to install our WellDuct Window drain. The window drain prevents the window from flooding your basement and transports the water straight from the window down to the sub-floor drainage system that connects to the sump pump.

In Baltimore, MD, homeowner determined to finish their basement and create a functional living space was struggling with persistent water seepage. Concerned about the moisture damaging the foundation and hindering their plans, they contacted Quality 1st for a reliable solution.

Next the team installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water, along with EverLast Wall Panels to create a moisture-resistant, mold-proof foundation. We also added ThermalDry Elite Plank Floor Panels, which not only provided thermal insulation but also ensured a dry and comfortable floor.

The result was a transformed basement, free from water issues and ready to be finished into a dry, healthy, and inviting living space!

These are before and after pictures of a church that had such a bad moisture problem in their crawlspace that rot destroyed the floor.  The whole floor had to be removed, but before replacing it, the owners were smart enough to call our company to install a new CleanSpace system, complete with a SuperSump and SaniDry Dehumidifier so the new floor would be protected.
