Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner from Abingdon, MD was looking to encapsulate their crawl space due to moisture they were experiencing. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists recommended CleanSpace Vapor Barrier.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier completely encapsulated their crawl space preventing any moisture on the walls from passing through and affecting the environment. 

The homeowner can now have peace of mind that the environment in their crawl space was healthy and dry. 

At this home, the owner was getting a strong musty smell from the back room of the basement and noticed water was coming in through the cement blocks. As you can see, the water coming in through the corner is causing the discoloration and smell. We dug out the trench along the foundation to install our WaterGuard sub-floor drain that captures any wall seepage and then flows down into the sump pump system. Once the drainage system was installed, we placed our BrightWall paneling, which is designed to be an effective moisture and vapor barrier, to keep the basement dry from water. 

This customer was looking to finish their basement and not only wanted to add some natural lighting, but also wanted a quick and safe way to exit the basement in case of an emergency. To make this vision come true, we came out and installed a 27" x 45" In-Swing Egress window with a 66" x 36" Egress Rockwell and Rockwell Premier Cover.

We received a call from this Leola, PA customer with concerns of his current sump pump constantly running. With this being a second home and rarely ever being there, he was pretty concerned of his electric bill and burning out the current pump. Basement Systems came out and upgraded his pump to our Triple Safe SumpPump.

Our Triple Safe is equipped with a primary 1/3hp cast iron zoeller pump, a secondary 1/2hp cast iron zoeller pump and in case of sump failure or a power outage, this system comes with a UltraSump Battery backup system. 

Heavy rainfall and inadequate drainage had begun to take a toll on a Belcamp, MD basement, causing rising moisture levels that raised serious concerns about wood rot and mold growth. Recognizing the potential long-term damage, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st for a professional, lasting solution to protect their home and safeguard their living space.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and pinpointed the exact source of the water intrusion, enabling the creation of a fully customized waterproofing plan. The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, TrenchDrain System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and durable EverLast Wall Panels. Together, these systems managed water flow, reinforced the basement walls, and efficiently removed excess water, effectively preventing future moisture issues.

With these advanced solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a fully protected basement and complete peace of mind for years to come!
