Challenge

In Severna Park, MD, a homeowner’s vision to finish their basement and create a livable, functional space was being thwarted by persistent water seepage. The constant moisture infiltration not only made the basement feel damp and uncomfortable but was also contributing to structural wear and a decline in air quality. With renovation plans on hold, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a lasting solution.

Solution

Our team responded quickly with a thorough, in-depth inspection of the basement to assess the extent of the water intrusion and its impact. From there, we crafted a customized waterproofing plan designed to eliminate the moisture problems and prepare the space for transformation. To provide long-term protection, we installed a suite of advanced waterproofing solutions tailored to the specific needs of the basement. First, our patented WaterGuard Drainage System was carefully placed along the perimeter, capturing any water seepage before it could spread further into the space. We then added CleanSpace Wall Panels, a moisture-resistant barrier that directs any moisture away from the walls and into the drainage system. EverLast Wall Panels were installed to enhance the basement’s structural integrity and appearance, preventing mold and water damage. Finally, to complete the project, ThermalDry Elite Flooring was laid down, offering a waterproof, insulated surface that keeps the space dry while improving comfort. With these systems in place, the basement is now dry, healthy, and visually appealing, ready to support the homeowner’s renovation dreams.

Persistent water seepage around this homeowner's basement was creating damp conditions that made it impossible to move forward with finishing the space, delaying their renovation plans and preventing the transformation of the area into a comfortable, livable environment.

We installed our WaterGuard System to capture water at the wall and floor joints and direct it to the sump pump, preventing flooding. CleanSpace Wall Panels were also added to block moisture and vapor while guiding any seepage into the drainage system, ensuring a dry, renovation-ready basement.

To complete the waterproofing process and enhance the basements appearance, our crew installed ThermalDry Flooring for a moisture-resistant, insulated surface that stays warm and dry. EverLast Panels were installed as well, which offer a durable, mold-resistant finish that won't warp, perfect for creating a clean, comfortable space ready for finishing!
