Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowner in Parkville, MD recently had a pipe burst and flood his finished basement. He had removed the damaged drywall and flooring and reached out to us for help restoring.

Our EverLast Finished Wall Restoration Panels are perfect for when the bottom portion of the wall needs replaced. They can be installed up to 32" and are made of cement board covered with a textured mold proof, washable, vinyl finish. For the flooring we used our Thermal Dry Elite Plank flooring which has a wood look but, is not made with wood so it will not be affected by moisture or water. If there ever is a leak in the basement, the flooring can easily be removed to dry out then put right back in to place, no need for new pieces.

In Nottingham, MD, a homeowner was dealing with persistent moisture intrusion in their basement, caused by small cracks along the foundation walls that allowed water to seep in during heavy rains. The ongoing damp conditions not only made the space uncomfortable but also raised concerns about potential mold growth and long-term structural damage. Seeking a permanent fix, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for help.

After conducting a detailed inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing solution that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect incoming water, our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to ensure efficient and reliable water removal, and our mold-resistant CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a durable moisture barrier and improve overall air quality.

Together, these systems eliminated the seepage issues and transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected space the homeowner could finally enjoy with peace of mind!

In Pasadena, MD, a homeowner began noticing signs of foundation settlement in their basement, such as visible cracks in the walls and floors that were becoming uneven. The likely cause of the issue was prolonged water seepage due to an aging and underperforming sump pump that had failed to effectively manage groundwater around the foundation. As a result, water infiltration over time had created pressure on the basement walls and contributed to the settling of the foundation. Concerned about the potential for further damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, seeking a professional and comprehensive solution to restore the stability and integrity of their home.

Our team responded by installing a series of advanced systems designed to tackle both the water intrusion and foundation issues. We began with the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which was designed to redirect groundwater away from the foundation, preventing any further seepage. Next, we upgraded the existing sump pump to our powerful SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, ensuring efficient water removal. To address the moisture issues and improve the overall appearance of the basement, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier and prevent moisture from passing through the walls. Finally, to stabilize the bowing foundation walls, we used our CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, which uses high-strength carbon fiber straps to provide permanent wall stabilization.

With all these systems in place, we successfully restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and structurally sound condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind and lasting protection against future water and foundation problems.

This homeowner from Pasadena, MD noticed their concrete walkway was settling. They called Quality 1st basements for a free quote. Our System Design Specialist performed an inspection and noticed voids under the slabs that were creating the settlement. They injected Polylevel under the settled slab, lifting it so it was level with the rest of the walkway. Finally, the cracks were sealed with NexusPro to prevent moisture from entering and eroding the slabs. The homeowner now had a more appealing and safer walkway that would last them through rain or shine.
