Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowner in Parkville, MD recently had a pipe burst and flood his finished basement. He had removed the damaged drywall and flooring and reached out to us for help restoring.

Our EverLast Finished Wall Restoration Panels are perfect for when the bottom portion of the wall needs replaced. They can be installed up to 32" and are made of cement board covered with a textured mold proof, washable, vinyl finish. For the flooring we used our Thermal Dry Elite Plank flooring which has a wood look but, is not made with wood so it will not be affected by moisture or water. If there ever is a leak in the basement, the flooring can easily be removed to dry out then put right back in to place, no need for new pieces.

To prevent water from intruding in this Parkville, MD basement, our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement's perimeter, with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system lining the walls.

In Parkville, MD, a homeowner was dealing with persistent water seepage in their basement, leaving the space damp, dreary, and nearly unusable. Over time, the constant moisture led to an unpleasant atmosphere, and the homeowner began avoiding the basement altogether. The water seepage not only created an uncomfortable environment but also raised concerns about potential damage to the home’s foundation and the health risks associated with mold and mildew growth. Feeling overwhelmed by the ongoing issue, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a reliable, long-term waterproofing solution.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and implemented a dynamic waterproofing system that would restore the basement’s integrity. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which effectively channels water away from the foundation, preventing further seepage. To ensure the space remained dry during any storm or power outage, we added our TripleSafe Sump Pump, equipped with a battery backup and alarm for added security. Finally, we enhanced the basement’s appearance and energy efficiency by installing CleanSpace Wall Panels, which acted as a moisture barrier, keeping the space dry and healthy.

The transformation was remarkable, turning the once problematic basement into a dry, inviting, and functional area that the homeowner can now enjoy without worry!

Water was getting into the basement through the customer's window and just puddling on the floor. We corrected the issue by installing a Super Sump Pump, WaterGuard, and a Well Duct. The well duct installed will direct any water that gets in down to the WaterGuard, which then directs the water over to the Super Sump to get pumped out of the basement.

Customer reached out to us with concerns of the top portion of their foundation wall was bowing inward about 2 to 3 inches and feared after time this would only get worse. 

Our solution for this bowing foundation wall was to install 5 Full Wall Channel Anchors, which will permanently stabilize the foundation wall and, in time, can straighten the wall back towards its original position.
