Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In this basement the owner was experiencing water leaking through the walls after heavy rains and reached out to our team for a system install. We sent a crew out to jackhammer a trench around the foundation wall for us to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that will carry any moisture or water to the sump pump. Lastly we place our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier over the portion of the wall that captures any water or moisture coming through and carries it down into the sub-floor drain. By getting this waterproofing system install the home will be safe from floods and dry of dampness and moisture.

At this property we needed to install a new way for water to leave the home without it going back into the home. We sent our crew out to install our IceGuard Sump Pump line that is designed to safely discharge water from below grade up and away from the home when the line is frozen. This install will prevent the basement from flooding in cold temperature weather and overall maintenance free for the homeowner. 

In Jarrettsville, MD, a homeowner had been feeling increasingly overwhelmed by persistent water seepage in their basement, which worsened after every heavy rain. The dampness, musty odors, and mold growth were becoming a growing concern, and despite attempting various DIY solutions, the problem seemed to persist. The homeowner contacted Quality 1st, seeking a permanent solution to protect their basement and restore it to a dry, healthy space.

Our team assessed the situation and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture water before it could seep into the basement. The system was placed along the perimeter of the floor, where it efficiently directed water away from the foundation and to a sump pump for removal.

Once the installation was complete, the homeowner’s basement was transformed into a clean, dry, and inviting environment, free from the water intrusion that had previously caused so much stress and damage. They were relieved to finally have peace of mind knowing their basement was now well-protected against further water issues!

In Essex, MD, a homeowner was dealing with severe moisture intrusion in their basement, caused by an outdated sump pump that could no longer keep up with the volume of water entering the space. As conditions grew damper, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about potential rot, mold growth, and long-term structural damage. Wanting a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st for expert help in protecting their home from ongoing water issues.

After a detailed inspection, our team developed a customized waterproofing plan to address the root of the problem. We installed our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump, a three-pump system designed to provide powerful, layered protection, featuring a primary pump, a secondary for heavy water flow, and a battery backup to ensure continued operation during power outages. To further protect the system in cold weather, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes.

With these systems in place, we eliminated the risk of future water intrusion and successfully transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and worry-free space.

This Kingsville, MD homeowner had been struggling with persistent water intrusion in their basement, which had caused the space to become damp, dreary, and uninviting. The constant moisture led the homeowner to avoid using the basement, fearing mold growth and further damage.

After identifying the source of the water issues, we recommended and installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to efficiently channel water away from the basement, along with our TrenchDrain System to manage surface water around entry points.
