Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These are pictures of a typical city row home basement entry. The stairwells often flood because the drain is not big enough or not connected properly for an outlet. The water can now be easily managed by installing proper drainage and a large TrenchDrain.

In this basement entry way, we removed the old sump pump and installed our TripleSafe pump system with twin liner. Once the TripleSafe was securely placed, we installed our TrenchDrain system, which is an elongated drain that is used to remove surface water from the area. The below level grade drain channel is connected to the sump pump system that will pump the water out safely. 

This homeowner in Baltimore, MD reached out to us regarding water intrusion in their basement during heavy rainfall. This has been an ongoing issue to the point of mold growth occurring in the area. We sent a team to dig out a trench along the foundation wall to install our WaterGuard French Drain System. Then we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the same wall. This waterproofing system will keep the basement dry with no moisture, preventing mold growth, and the drain will direct the water from the wall down into the sump pump system. 

In Baltimore, MD, a homeowner began noticing early warning signs of water damage in their basement, musty odors, damp walls, and visible moisture buildup. As conditions worsened, so did concerns about mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage. Realizing the issue required professional attention, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for help.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and designed a customized waterproofing solution tailored to the home’s specific needs.

To permanently resolve the water intrusion, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter, which captures groundwater before it reaches the floor surface. A TrenchDrain System was added near entry points to intercept surface water, directing it into the drainage channel. The system was connected to a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, ensuring efficient water removal, while an IceGuard Discharge Line was included to prevent backups during freezing temperatures. To manage wall moisture and improve the basement’s appearance, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which also act as a vapor barrier.

With these advanced systems working together, the basement is now fully protected from moisture, and the homeowner can enjoy a clean, dry, and worry-free space once again!

At this newly purchased home, the owners were seeing that during rainstorms, water would enter the basement under the wall where the floor meets. We replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe pump system, which has a twin liner, and the UltraSump battery back-up system with a control box alarm. These three pump systems calibrate automatically to meet the requirements of how much water is pumping out, and the battery backup will protect your home from flooding during power outages.
