Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

At Quality 1st, we recently tackled a challenge faced by a homeowner in Annapolis, MD, who was dealing with an old and decaying vapor barrier in their crawl space. The dirt floor beneath their home was not only a concern for the integrity of their property but also for their health, as damp crawl spaces can lead to mold and poor air quality inside the home. Our System Design Specialist visited the home, where a thorough examination revealed the issues at hand. We proposed installing our CleanSpace liner along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to completely encapsulate the crawl space, prevent moisture entry, and ensure the air remained dry and healthy. 

In Annapolis, MD, a homeowner had been struggling with persistent dampness and musty odors in their crawl space, leading to poor air quality and discomfort throughout their home. The high humidity levels in the space were not only causing unpleasant smells but also affecting the overall indoor environment, making the home feel less inviting and more difficult to maintain. Frustrated by the ongoing moisture issues, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st to find a lasting solution that would restore comfort and improve air quality.

After assessing the situation, our expert crew implemented a dynamic solution designed to eliminate moisture intrusion and create a healthier living environment. We installed our patented TrenchDrain System around the crawl space entrance to prevent water from entering, and SilverGlo Insulation Panels were added to improve energy efficiency and maintain consistent temperatures. Next, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was installed to seal out humidity and moisture, while our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added to ensure the air stayed dry and fresh year-round.

The result was a dry, energy-efficient crawl space that protected the home for the long term, restoring comfort and air quality throughout the house!

A homeowner in Essex, MD, was concerned about persistent water seepage in their crawl space, which had become damp and unstable due to consistent rainfall. The moisture was not only causing the area to feel musty and uncomfortable but also threatening the structural integrity of the home. Seeking a long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, and our team quickly assessed the situation, creating a customized waterproofing and stabilization plan to address the specific issues.

Our dynamic solution included the installation of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to keep moisture at bay, along with our SmartJack System to provide structural support and lift sagging beams. The SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump was added to effectively remove water, while CleanSpace Vent Covers sealed out humid outdoor air and pests. To further control moisture, we installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, ensuring the air in the crawl space stayed dry and healthy. These systems worked together to eliminate future water intrusion and transform the crawl space into a dry, stable, and healthy environment that the homeowner can confidently rely on for years to come.

In Essex, MD, a homeowner was dealing with severe moisture intrusion in their basement, caused by an outdated sump pump that could no longer keep up with the volume of water entering the space. As conditions grew damper, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about potential rot, mold growth, and long-term structural damage. Wanting a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st for expert help in protecting their home from ongoing water issues.

After a detailed inspection, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan to address the root of the problem. We installed our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump, a three-pump system designed to provide powerful, layered protection, featuring a primary pump, a secondary for heavy water flow, and a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages. To further protect the system in cold weather, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes.

With these systems in place, we eliminated the risk of future water intrusion and successfully transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and worry-free space.
