Tuesday, May 6th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

A homeowner in Randallstown, MD, was dealing with persistent water intrusion in their basement, which had begun to raise serious concerns about mold growth and the potential for wood rot. With each heavy rain, the moisture issues worsened, and the homeowner knew they needed a long-term solution to protect their home’s foundation and interior. Realizing the potential dangers of leaving the problem unresolved, they contacted Quality 1st for a reliable fix.

Solution

Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough inspection of the basement to pinpoint the exact causes of the water infiltration. We quickly identified several vulnerable areas where water was seeping in, and based on our findings, we designed a comprehensive waterproofing plan tailored to the homeowner’s needs. The first step in our solution was the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which was placed around the perimeter of the basement floor. This system effectively redirected any water that entered the space to a sump pump, preventing further damage to the foundation and keeping the basement dry. To ensure maximum flood protection, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, a high-performance system with three levels of protection to handle even the heaviest water flow. This pump guarantees that the basement remains dry, even during storms or power outages. Additionally, we installed an Egress Window, improving ventilation and safety while meeting local building codes. With these systems in place, the homeowner now has a dry, healthy, and secure basement, free from the threat of water damage, mold, and structural decay, providing long-term peace of mind.

We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to effectively ensure a dry, healthy space by blocking moisture at the perimeter and directing it to the homeowners sump pump for efficient removal.

With three levels of pumping power, including a battery backup, TripleSafe ensures reliable, continuous performance, even during heavy rain or power outages, keeping the basement dry and protected.

Lastly, the crew installed our Egress Window to improve basement safety, providing a code-compliant emergency exit, while also enhancing natural light and ventilation. This upgrade not only makes the space brighter and more inviting but also ensures a safer, more livable environment.
