Challenge

After noticing persistent moisture creeping into their basement following heavy rainfall, this Edgewood, MD homeowner knew it was time to seek a professional solution. Concerned about potential water damage, mold growth, and long-term structural issues, they reached out to Quality 1st for a comprehensive assessment. Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified the exact sources of water intrusion, enabling us to develop a fully customized waterproofing plan tailored to the homeowner’s specific needs.

Solution

To safeguard the basement, we implemented a combination of our advanced waterproofing systems. Our WaterGuard Drainage System was installed along the interior perimeter to capture and redirect incoming water, while our TripleSafe Sump Pump ensured reliable removal with three layers of protection, including a battery backup for power outages. CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to provide a durable, moisture-resistant barrier that protects the walls and creates a clean, finished look. Finally, our IceGuard Discharge Line was installed to prevent blockages or freezing in the exterior drainage line, maintaining consistent water flow year-round. The result was a dramatic transformation. What was once a damp, vulnerable basement is now a dry, secure, and fully protected space, giving the homeowner peace of mind and confidence in their home’s resilience. By combining these innovative systems, Quality 1st provided a long-term solution that not only addresses immediate moisture issues but also prevents future damage, ensuring the basement remains safe, functional, and inviting for years to come.
