Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Musty Smell & Damp Walls - Aberdeen, MD

After dealing with a musty smell and damp walls in their basement, this homeowner from Aberdeen, MD decided it was time to tackle the issue head-on. They contacted Quality 1st Basements who recommended a dual solution: the WaterGuard drainage system and the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of her basement floor to capture any water seeping in and direct it to a sump pump system. To address moisture and prevent mold, CleanSpace, a bright, durable plastic liner, was applied to the basement walls, effectively sealing out humidity and channeling any wall seepage down into the WaterGuard system. Now, the basement is dry, bright, and usable year-round.

Waterguard

WaterGuard is an innovative interior drainage system designed to keep basements dry by capturing water seepage before it reaches the floor surface. Installed just below the basement floor along the foundation walls, it efficiently channels water to a sump pump without clogging, thanks to its unique, non-intrusive design. WaterGuard is ideal for both finished and unfinished basements, offering a clean, reliable, and long-lasting waterproofing solution.

CleanSpace

CleanSpace is a durable, waterproof vapor barrier designed to keep basements and crawl spaces dry and free from moisture-related issues like mold and musty odors. Made from heavy-duty plastic, it's installed along walls or floors to seal out humidity and direct any water seepage into a drainage system. CleanSpace not only improves air quality but also gives the space a clean, bright appearance, making it ideal for creating a healthier, more usable basement environment.
