Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After repeated heavy rains caused persistent moisture in their basement, this Edgewood, MD homeowner knew it was time for a permanent solution. Concerned about water damage, mold growth, and potential structural issues, they turned to Quality 1st for expert guidance.

Our team conducted a detailed inspection to identify the exact sources of water intrusion, allowing us to develop a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs.

To fully protect the basement, we installed a combination of advanced systems. Our patented WaterGuard Drainage System captured and redirected water entering the space, while our TripleSafe Sump Pump provided reliable water removal with three layers of protection, including a battery backup. CleanSpace Wall Panels created a durable, moisture-resistant barrier that prevented mold and mildew while giving the walls a clean, finished appearance. Finally, our IceGuard Discharge Line ensured uninterrupted drainage even during freezing conditions.

Together, these solutions transformed the basement from damp and vulnerable into a dry, safe, and fully protected space, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind.

In this unfinished basement, water and mud would come into the home during heavy rainstorms and it was also believed that water was coming in through the concrete walls. We removed and replaced the old sump system with our TripleSafe Sump pump that will auto-adjust to meet the pumping requirements. The system is installed with an UltraSump battery backup that protects the new system from flooding during power outages. 

This customer's basement stairwell door area would flood when it rains due to the small drain filling up with leaves and debris.  We dug up the cement floor to create the installation of our TrenchDrain system, which would redirect any water to the nearest sump pump. By capturing any surface water and redirecting to the sump, this prevents flooding and any water from entering in home. 

In this finished basement in Abingdon, MD, the owner was experiencing a strong smell of mold and then saw the discoloration of the foundation block once the wall was removed. Once the wall was removed, we installed our CleanSpace Wall System that captures all water seepage and vapor coming into the basement. This poly material covers the entire foundation wall that will flow any captured moisture into the perimeter drain system and carry it safely down into the sump pump system. 

In this basement in Abingdon, MD, the walls had water damage from seepage and moisture coming in through the cement blocks. We dug out a trench along the foundation wall in order to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system, which will lie underneath the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The drain system will capture any water or moisture that seeps into the basement, then carry it down into the sump pump system. This installation will prevent water from entering the basement and will keep your home dry all year long.
