Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner from Baltimore, MD need their basement waterproofed. They called Quality 1st Basements for free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended WaterGuard and BrightWall to help.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement and other problem areas to direct any seepage away from the home's foundation. BrightWall was installed on the walls to finish the space. BrightWall is also designed to work with all of our waterproofing systems. 

The homeowner can now have peace of mind that their basement not only looks great but is protected from water damage. 

After observing clear signs of water intrusion in their basement, a homeowner in Baltimore, MD grew increasingly concerned about the potential for mold growth and structural deterioration. Seeking a reliable, long-term solution, they reached out to the waterproofing experts at Quality 1st.

Our team performed a thorough inspection to determine the extent and source of the seepage, enabling us to develop a tailored plan to address both the immediate water concerns and prevent future damage.

To resolve the issue, we installed a full waterproofing system that included our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation’s perimeter, a TrenchDrain System to intercept surface water, and a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for dependable water removal. We complemented these installations with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels and CleanSpace Wall Panels to create a vapor-proof barrier and improve the basement’s appearance.

Together, these systems work seamlessly to keep the space clean, dry, and protected, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a healthier home environment!

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.
