Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

At this home, the discharge line was backing up water through the downspout and also caused mud to backup into the sump pump. We installed the IceGuard with an extended discharge line that will drain out through the LawnScape at the end of the underground pipe. This system will prevent flooding by allowing water to escape through the discharge line and will prevent frozen discharge lines during the winter months. 

Recently, we were called to address a homeowner's concern in Kennedyville, MD. The problem was a leaky crack in the basement wall: a common issue but one that needs a precise and effective solution to prevent long-term damage. The recommended solution? Our trusted FlexiSpan system, designed to prevent leaks even when structural movement occurs. Our production team arrived and began by applying a flexible sealant along the full length of the crack, ensuring a complete and even coat. Next, a carefully selected strip of foam, chosen for its flexibility and porosity, was installed over the crack, creating a protective barrier. To complete this fail-safe process, an impermeable membrane was adhered to the wall, sealing potential vulnerabilities.

At this home, we installed our Rockwell Egress window well system, which is an oversize one-piece unit that is reinforced for strength and durability. It is durably designed for safety and covers your window from any debris, pest and water. The Rockwell also creates natural light that shines in, giving your basement a brighter living space.

This Earleville, MD, homeowner became increasingly concerned as ongoing water seepage made their basement progressively damper, leading to worries about potential mold growth and wood rot. With each passing day, the conditions worsened, and the homeowner feared that the water damage could cause long-term structural issues. Seeking a solution to prevent further damage and restore the basement to a dry, usable space, they contacted Quality 1st for help.

Our team responded with a dynamic, tailored waterproofing plan. We began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement’s perimeter to capture and redirect water away from the home. The system works seamlessly with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which efficiently removes water even during heavy rain. To seal out moisture from the walls, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, which also enhance the appearance of the space. Lastly, to stabilize the foundation, we installed our PowerBrace Wall Repair System, effectively halting any inward movement of the walls.

With these solutions in place, the homeowner’s basement was completely transformed into a dry, healthy, and structurally secure space!

What began as subtle signs of dampness quickly turned into a persistent water issue for this homeowner in Earleville, MD.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional assessment and long-term solution.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and identified the root causes of the moisture intrusion. To effectively combat the problem, we implemented a customized waterproofing system featuring our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the foundation’s edge, a TrenchDrain System to prevent surface water from entering, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide reliable water removal, even during power outages.
