Photo Album: Installing Drainage Support In Middle River, MD Basement

Due to a lack of proper drainage support, this Middle River, MD, homeowner was faced with ongoing water intrusion in their basement, creating increasingly damp and uninviting conditions, which led the homeowner to contact Quality 1st, determined to implement a professional solution. Once our team thoroughly inspected the space, we were able to create a tailored waterproofing approach that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, and our CleanSpace Wall Panels. With these systems in place, we effectively eradicated any further moisture-related issues from occurring, and transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and stable environment!

Damp Basement

Damp basement conditions are often caused by poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure from surrounding soil, cracks in the foundation, and high humidity levels. These issues allow water to seep through walls or floors, creating a moist environment that can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality.

Installing WaterGuard

Our crew began the WaterGuard installation by carefully removing a section of the basement floor perimeter to create a trench. Once excavated, we placed the specially designed WaterGuard Drainage System just above the footing of the foundation, ensuring it wouldn't clog with soil.

Next the WaterGuard System was then connected to a sump pump for proper water discharge. After securing the drainage channel in place, we backfilled around it with clean washed stone and restored the floor with fresh cement for a clean, finished look.

The Benefits Of WaterGuard

WaterGuard offers a highly effective, long-term solution for keeping basements dry by capturing water seepage at the wall-floor joint before it reaches the living space. Unlike traditional drains, WaterGuard sits on top of the foundation footing, preventing clogging from dirt and debris, connected to a sump pump, it efficiently channels water out of the home, helping prevent flooding, mold growth, and structural damage.

The Benefits Of CleanSpace Wall Panels

CleanSpace Wall Panels provide a durable, moisture-resistant solution for basement walls, designed to both protect and brighten the space. Made from a thick, puncture-resistant plastic vapor barrier, these panels prevent water vapor from passing through the walls, reducing humidity and the risk of mold growth.
