Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After several periods of heavy rainfall, a homeowner in North East, MD began noticing elevated moisture levels in their basement, caused by cracks forming along the foundation walls. These conditions raised serious concerns about potential structural damage and the risk of mold growth—issues that could compromise both the safety and value of the home.

Following a detailed inspection, our team identified the key sources of water intrusion and designed a tailored waterproofing strategy to resolve the problem at its core.

The customized solution included the installation of several proven systems to protect and restore the basement. Our patented WaterGuard Drainage System and TrenchDrain were installed to intercept water at both the floor and surface levels, redirecting it away from the foundation. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was added for dependable water removal, even during power outages, while our PowerBrace Wall Repair System stabilized the compromised walls to prevent further structural movement. To address humidity and air quality, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which efficiently controls moisture and helps prevent mold growth. Together, these solutions transformed the basement into a dry, secure, and healthy space, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and renewed confidence in their home!

After experiencing repeated water intrusion during extended periods of rain, a homeowner in North East, MD began noticing dampness and visible cracks along their basement walls. Concerned about the risks of structural damage, mold growth, and wood rot, they knew a temporary fix wouldn’t be enough. Seeking a long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for expert assistance.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and designed a reliable waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s needs. We installed our patented Egress Window for enhanced safety and natural light, along with a Window WellDuct System to ensure proper drainage from the well into the home’s waterproofing system. To seal the wall cracks, we applied our FlexiSpan Wall Crack Repair System, a flexible, permanent solution designed to prevent re-cracking and direct any seepage away from the interior. Finally, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line to protect against backups from frozen discharge pipes.

With these systems in place, the basement is now fully protected, providing the homeowner with a safe, dry, and comfortable space year-round!

Ongoing water issues in a North East, MD crawl space led a concerned homeowner to notice early signs of rot, musty odors, and mold development, clear indicators of excessive moisture. Seeking a long-term fix, they contacted Quality 1st for expert help.

To further safeguard the space, we connected the pump to our IceGuard Discharge Line for freeze protection and added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels.

An open sump pit can release unpleasant odors and even radon gases. It is also a collector of dust, dirt, and other small particles that can clog the pump and cause it to fail when you need it the most. We upgraded their current sump to our Super Sump Pump. The SuperSump is equipped  with a 1/3hp Zoeller pump, which pumps 2650 gallons per hour. The SuperSump also comes with an Airtight lid so no odors or harmful gases can escape and no bugs or dirt can enter. 

In this basement, the owner had a sump pump that was working, but wanted to add a battery to the system in case of a power outage. Our team installed our UltraSump Battery Back-up to the sump itself, which will sound an alarm when the battery kicks on. The system removes up to 12,000 gallons of water when fully charged and can keep the home protected from flooding till the primary pump kicks back on.
