Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When a Baltimore, MD homeowner noticed their basement turning damp and uncomfortable, they knew it was time to take action before moisture caused more serious damage. Persistent humidity and saturated conditions not only compromised the space’s usability but also raised concerns about mold growth and structural decay.

Upon inspection, our Quality 1st team discovered the root cause: the basement lacked a proper vapor barrier and efficient moisture control systems, allowing water vapor to infiltrate and linger unchecked.

To combat the issue, we implemented a tailored waterproofing solution featuring our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which effectively seals basement walls and floors to block moisture intrusion and prevent mold. Complementing this, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, a high-efficiency system designed to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round.

Together, these systems transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and restoring full functionality to their space!

At this Baltimore home, the sump pump was no longer pumping enough water out. We had our team dig out the sump and install our SuperSump pump system with a Zoeller M53 cast iron pump, liner and airtight lid. This product has features such as an alarm system for when the water level rises, if a breaker trips, or if there is a malfunction. This sump system protects your basement from flooding and seals off any odor or harmful gases that could potentially escape. 

This row home owner called due to the musty smell he was getting from the basement. This home was shortly getting closed on and was in need of our WaterGuard sub-floor Drainage System. The team dug around the perimeter of the foundation to install the drain and then connect it to the TripleSafe pump system, safely taking the water away. Lastly, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that lies on the walls to collect the moisture/vapor coming through, which keeps your basement dry and musty-smell-free.

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!
