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!

What looked like minor wall cracks and sagging ceilings quickly became a major concern for a homeowner in Parkville, MD, as signs of foundation settlement became increasingly obvious. The basement walls were beginning to bow inward, and ceiling stress indicated that the structural integrity of the home was at risk. Wanting to prevent further damage and protect their investment, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution. After a full inspection, our team diagnosed the underlying issues and crafted a custom repair strategy to address both the foundation movement and ongoing water intrusion.

To stabilize the bowing walls, we installed our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System, an innovative solution that uses ultra-strong carbon fiber straps bonded directly to the interior surface of the walls. This system stops further inward movement without the need for exterior excavation. Next, to address water seepage that was contributing to the foundation stress, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to intercept water before it reached the floor. We also added a TrenchDrain System at the basement entryway to capture surface water from external sources.

With these systems working together, the basement is now dry, secure, and structurally sound, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home!

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.
