Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing In Essex, MD

In Essex, MD, a homeowner started observing signs of severe moisture intrusion around their basement due to an outdated sump pump that could no longer keep up with the high capacity of water entering the space, conditions had become increasingly damp and the homeowner started to worry about the possibility for rot and mold-growth, prompting them to contact Quality 1st for a lasting and effective fix. Once our team arrived at the home, we were able to create a tailored waterproofing approach that included the installation of our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump and our IceGuard Discharge Line. With these systems in place, we were able to eradicate further water intrusion issues and successfully restored the basement to a dry and healthy environment!

Old Sump Pump

This homeowner's old sump pump was outdated and lacked the capacity to handle heavy water intrusion, causing it to frequently fail during storms. As a result, water seeped back into the basement, leading to persistent dampness, increased humidity, and the risk of structural damage and mold growth.

Before Waterproofing

We had our System Design Specialist conduct an extensive inspection of the homeowner's basement to identify the exact sources of water intrusion and moisture. This thorough evaluation allowed us to create a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home's specific needs, ensuring the most effective and long-lasting solution to keep the basement dry and protected.

Installing TripleSafe

Our crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump by first removing the old, unreliable unit and excavating a new sump pit to fit the three-pump system.

The Benefits Of TripleSafe

Once in place, we connected TripleSafe to the homeowners drainage system, ensuring seamless water flow. With its primary pump, secondary pump, and battery backup, the TripleSafe provides the homeowner with 24/7 protection against flooding, even during heavy storms or power outages.

The Benefits Of IceGuard

The crew installed our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent sump pump backups during freezing temperatures. This system automatically allows water to escape if the buried discharge line becomes frozen or blocked, ensuring the sump pump continues to function and the basement stays dry all year long.
