Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We recently assisted a homeowner in Baltimore, MD, who had been dealing with persistent wet basement conditions caused by ongoing water seepage, primarily due to a lack of proper drainage support. As moisture continued to infiltrate the space, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about the potential for mold growth and structural decay. In search of a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st to address the issue before it caused further damage. Our team quickly assessed the situation and developed a plan to install a comprehensive waterproofing system to resolve the ongoing water problems and protect the integrity of the home.

Our team arrived at the home and began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation. To ensure reliable water removal, we installed the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which is designed to handle high volumes of water. We also added our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing and ensure proper water flow during the colder months. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which provide a moisture-resistant barrier against future water intrusion. With these high-performance systems in place, the homeowner’s basement is now dry, healthy, and protected, giving them peace of mind knowing their home is safeguarded from future water damage.

After we placed our TripleSafe pump in the basement we installed our IceGuard discharge line system which allows water from the sump pump to escape incase the pipe freeze due to cold weather or even blocked for any reason. By having this system the owner won't have to worry about the basement flooding and will have peace about the water getting safely discharged outside and away from the home. Our sump pump system and IceGuard both work hand in hand to keeping the home dry even during the winter months. 

A homeowner in Baltimore, MD, began noticing persistent water intrusion in their basement, likely caused by heavy rainfall and inadequate drainage around the foundation. As the water continued to seep in, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about the potential damage to the structure and the growth of mold or mildew. Understanding the need for a reliable solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st, seeking expert help to protect their home from further water damage and ensure a dry, healthy environment in their basement.

After identifying the source of the water intrusion, we recommended a dynamic waterproofing approach, which included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our IceGuard Discharge Line. The WaterGuard system was designed to efficiently collect and direct water away from the basement, while the TripleSafe Sump Pump ensured that any water that did enter was quickly pumped out. To protect against freezing temperatures, we added the IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring the system would continue to function even in the coldest months.

With these advanced systems in place, the homeowner's basement is now effectively sealed from water intrusion, providing peace of mind and a dry, protected space for years to come!

These are pictures of a typical city row home basement entry. The stairwells often flood because the drain is not big enough or not connected properly for an outlet. The water can now be easily managed by installing proper drainage and a large TrenchDrain.
