Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Here at this property the sump system was not pumping enough water out and was in need of getting replaced. The team installed our TripleSafe pump system with twin liner that has our UltraSump battery back up system with control box alarm. This triple pump system will adjust to the pumping requirements and the battery back up will protect the home from flooding during power outages, keeping your basement safe and dry. 

A homeowner in Owings Mills, MD, recently contacted Quality 1st after battling persistent water seepage in their basement, which had begun to cause concerns about mold growth and potential rot. Frustrated with the ongoing issue, the homeowner sought a professional solution to safeguard their home.

Our team of experts thoroughly inspected the basement and identified the root cause of the water intrusion. Understanding the seriousness of the problem, we devised a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the homeowner's needs. This included the installation of our cutting-edge WaterGuard Drainage System, SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System, and CleanSpace Wall Panels to effectively prevent water from entering and ensure a dry environment.

The WaterGuard Drainage System provided a reliable channel to direct water away from the basement, while the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System ensured that any water that did enter was quickly and efficiently removed. The CleanSpace Wall Panels further helped to prevent moisture buildup, offering an extra layer of protection. With these state-of-the-art systems in place, the homeowner now enjoys total peace of mind, knowing their basement is protected from further moisture-related issues!

This customer was in need of a sump pump upgrade so we delivered - in the form of a SuperSump pump system with a cast iron pump, capable of pumping up to 2,300 gallons per hour, a heavy-duty liner with an airtight lid that keeps moisture and critters from coming up into the basement, and a WaterWatch Alarm system which alerts you if the water in your sump gets higher than the point where the pump should turn on, giving you time to address the problem before damage occurs.

Another wise choice by this homeowner was our SaniDry Sedona, lovingly referred to as the “Pint-Sized Powerhouse” for its high performance and high efficiency. Small enough to fit in a crawl space, powerful enough to pull 100 pints of moisture out of the air per day and to move 300 cubic feet per minute (yup, I said minute) of that dry air around your space, and by way of a discharge hose, it automatically drains into your sump system. A true set it and forget it! As an added bonus, the SaniDry’s “duet” filter removes airborne allergens like mold spores, dust and the #1 offender, dust mite droppings!

Although not at all hard on the eyes, this small giant can be tucked away out of site and vented with ductwork into the rooms of your choosing.   

Move over, store-bought dehumidifiers. You don’t stand a chance against a Sedona!!

Looking to insulate and cover up those bare or ugly foundation walls? While most homeowners like to run to putting up fiberglass insulation and hanging dry wall, its not the best idea to use these organic and moisture magnet products in the basement. Dry wall will become wet if there is a leak and since it is made of organic material, it will start to grow mold. Fiberglass insulation, when wet, will start to separate and fall down, now you have cold drafts sneaking in durning those cold months, just hiking your energy bill up.

Our Basement To Beautiful Panels are 2 products in one. It is insulation panels, that frame your walls. These panels will not rot, be damaged by moisture or attract mold making them the perfect panels for a basement installation. 

Looking to finish your basement down the road? No worries, our mold proof, EverLast Wall Panel system are a perfect option that can be installed directly on top of the Basement to Beautiful Panels. 

When we first arrived at the Owings Mills building, the basement walls were bare, and water was finding its way inside. Recognizing the risks this posed to a soon-to-be-finished space, we installed a tailored waterproofing system. Our work included setting up the WaterGuard perimeter drain, paired with a SuperSump system that effectively channels water out. To handle winter challenges, we added the IceGuard, which allows discharge even if the exterior lines freeze. Finally, we installed the CleanSpace wall liner, providing a protective barrier that will keep moisture out. Today, the basement stands transformed—ready for finishing without the worry of future water intrusion.
