Quality 1st Basement Systems Before & After Photos

In this dirt floor crawl space in Middle River, MD, mold was present on the beams along with the start of wood rot, which had caused the need to replace the subfloor. A plastic tarp was placed on the dirt floor to be used as a vapor barrier, which we replaced with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will reduce the moisture and humidity coming in. The team also wrapped the bottom of each pier with the CleanSpace barrier to fully encapsulate the crawlspace, turning it from a dark, dirty space into a clean and dry area. 

Water has been getting into this dirt crawlspace in this Middle River, MD home. The insulation from the last job was falling off the walls. They called Quality 1st Basements to assess their water damage. System Design Specialist, Jeff Yentzer did a full inspection and recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation. CleanSpace is made from a durable liner that creates a barrier from the moist wall to the crawlspace air and the material doesn't support the growth of mold or mildew. The homeowner can now relax knowing their encapsulated crawlspace is fully protected from further moisture damage and they have a pleasing to the eye storage space. 

In Middle River, MD, a homeowner became increasingly concerned as moisture levels in their crawl space began to rise, leading to damp floors, musty odors, and potential mold growth. Fearing the long-term effects of excess moisture, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and solution. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified several contributing factors, including poor ventilation, inadequate drainage, and high humidity, which were all impacting the crawl space’s health.

To address these issues, we designed a comprehensive waterproofing strategy that included the installation of our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump to efficiently remove any standing water. We also installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable liner that seals out moisture and vapor from the ground. To control humidity levels and prevent mold, we added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. CleanSpace Vent Covers were installed to seal off outside vents, and our IceGuard Discharge Line was added to ensure proper drainage during freezing conditions.

With these systems in place, the crawl space was completely transformed, eliminating moisture issues and providing the homeowner with a dry, healthy, and secure environment they could feel proud of!

In Middle River, MD, a homeowner was dealing with ongoing water intrusion in their basement, caused by the lack of a proper drainage system. Over time, the moisture buildup led to a damp, musty environment that made the space unusable and raised concerns about mold growth and structural damage. Frustrated by the worsening conditions, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution to protect their home.

After performing a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan centered around the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. This advanced system was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor to capture water seepage at its source and redirect it to a sump pump for safe removal.

With WaterGuard in place, we eliminated the risk of future water intrusion and transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and stable space the homeowner could feel confident in once again!

Waterproofing job in Upper Falls, MD consisted of 2 Sunhouse Basement Window Enclosures, Well duct, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump, and an Ultra Pump battery backup. 

The Well duct will direct any water that may come in through the window down to the waterguard, where water will flow through the waterguard and over to the SuperSump to be pumped out of the basement.
