Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In this dirt crawl space, the moisture had gotten worse to the point that the upstairs floor began to creak when walking. Our team was able to assess the area and encapsulate it with our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. We were able to clean out the insulation to install new joists alongside the old existing joist that prevents the floor from sagging and creaking. To encapsulate, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the area, which will block evaporation from ground moisture coming in. Finishing up the space, we wrapped the bottom of each cement pier, which prevents any future leakage or seepage. 

At this home in Glen Burnie, MD, the foundation wall was beginning to bow. It was in need of wall stabilization to prevent further bowing. Our team examined the foundation to determine the strategy of these steel beams and hold their current position without adjustment. Our team installed our PowerBrace Wall System that can stop buckling, wall tilting, and further damage, and even over time help straighten the wall over time.

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!

This Millersville, MD customer reached out to our company in need of an Egress upgrade and partial basement finishing. The window currently in the basement was your small standard size window with a metal well. Wanting to finish the basement, the customer asked to upgrade this window to an Egress to not only allow a quick and safe exit from the basement, but this would also allow a lot of natural sunlight to enter the basement.

Our company came out and installed a 48x48 Slider Egress window with a Rockwell, Rockwell cover and a WellDuct. Once the Egress was in place we got to the finishing portion of the project. Customer was only looking for a partial finishing and this included a ceiling install, a wall system, access door panels and then an interior door. Material we used to complete this portion of the project was our Prestige, textured,Non-Organic Ceiling Tiles and our Maintenance free TBF Everlast Wall System. 

In this uninsulated crawl space, vapor was coming up through the ground soil into the home, causing the master bedroom to be extremely cold during the winter months. To encapsulate the space, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor barrier that will capture and prevent any moisture that seeps in from the dirt floor. By sealing off the air movement from the ground, it will also close off the temperature from the living space above, making the floors and rooms above feel warmer in the winter months.
