Friday, May 9th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

A homeowner in Aberdeen, MD, had been dealing with persistent water intrusion in their basement, leaving the space consistently damp, musty, and unusable. Concerned about the long-term impact on their home’s foundation and air quality, they reached out to Quality 1st in search of a lasting, reliable solution. They wanted not only to eliminate the moisture problem but also to reclaim the basement as a clean, livable area for their family.

Solution

Our team responded quickly by conducting a thorough inspection to determine the exact source of the water intrusion. Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the unique layout and needs of the home. To protect the basement from future flooding and seepage, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which effectively collects and redirects water away from the basement interior. We also added our TripleSafe Sump Pump System to ensure dependable water removal, even during heavy rain or power outages. To further seal out moisture and enhance the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier while also providing a clean, bright finish to the basement walls. Finally, we completed the system with an IceGuard Discharge Line, designed to prevent backups even in freezing temperatures. With these advanced solutions in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and fully usable basement year-round, protected by a comprehensive system designed for long-term performance and peace of mind.

Our crew installed the WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation, preventing future water intrusion. To complement this, CleanSpace Wall Panels were added to the walls, acting as a moisture-resistant barrier that seals out dampness while also improving the overall appearance of the space.

This advanced system features three powerful pumps, ensuring the basement remains dry even during heavy rainfall or power outages. With its built-in backup pumps, our TripleSafe Sump Pump offers extra security, providing reassurance to the homeowner that their basement will remain dry and protected no matter the conditions.

IceGuard prevents the discharge line from becoming clogged or frozen, allowing water to continue safely exiting the home. With IceGuard in place, the homeowner's basement stays protected from water backup year-round, even in harsh winter weather.
