Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

At this property in Baltimore, MD the homeowners didn't have a working sump system, so they contacted us for a solution. Our team dug out around the corner of the basement to remove the sump and installed our SuperSump Pump System with Zoeller cast iron pump. This is designed to pump out high volumes of water. This system will capture the groundwater coming in, which safely pumps out the water, eliminating the potential hazard of a flood.

This homeowner in Baltimore, MD reached out to us regarding water intrusion in their basement during heavy rainfall. This has been an ongoing issue to the point of mold growth occurring in the area. We sent a team to dig out a trench along the foundation wall to install our WaterGuard French Drain System. Then we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the same wall. This waterproofing system will keep the basement dry with no moisture, preventing mold growth, and the drain will direct the water from the wall down into the sump pump system. 

Quality 1st Service Technician Jordan performed annual maintenance on this Baltimore homeowner's sump pump system. The primary cast-iron 1/3 hp Zoeller pump gets removed from the liner along with the UltraSump Battery Backup pump system. The components are checked and cleaned, the pump stands and liner are cleaned and sanitized, the float-switch is checked and the entire system is flood-tested to ensure it is functioning properly. Reassembled, the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is ready once again to operate efficiently with its capability of pumping out 2,220 gallons of water per hour! 

At this newly purchased home, the owners were seeing that during rainstorms, water would enter the basement under the wall where the floor meets. We replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe pump system, which has a twin liner, and the UltraSump battery back-up system with a control box alarm. These three pump systems calibrate automatically to meet the requirements of how much water is pumping out, and the battery backup will protect your home from flooding during power outages. 

This long-time Baltimore, MD homeowner has trusted Quality 1st for years to protect their basement from water damage and maintain a healthy home environment.

As part of their ongoing commitment to preventative care, they scheduled their annual maintenance service, during which our Service Technician performed a full inspection of their SuperSump Premier Sump Pump. The visit included a thorough cleaning of the sump pit to remove debris and sediment, a detailed check of all system components, and a performance test to ensure the pump activated and discharged water properly.

Our Service Technician also confirmed that the discharge line was free of blockages, ensuring the system could operate efficiently during heavy rainfall or sudden storms. This type of routine maintenance is essential for preventing unexpected failures and extending the lifespan of the sump pump system.

Thanks to these proactive measures, the homeowner continues to enjoy reliable, year-round protection and the peace of mind that their basement is prepared for whatever the weather brings!
