Trusted Waterproofing, Foundation & Basement Remodeling Baltimore City County, MD

Homeowner in Princeton contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems due to water seepage in her basement after a heavy rainstorm. The homeowner was midway through renovating her home and decided to wait on waterproofing her basement. During the next rain storm, she had even more water in her basement which caused severe damage to her flooring. Upon inspection, Quality 1st Basement Systems determined that the basement flooding was due to water coming in through cracks in the foundation.

Quality 1st Basement Systems addressed the cracks in the foundation. To waterproof the basement, a full perimeter system was installed to drain the water out of the basement. WaterGuard is specially designed to accept water from the walls preventing the water from ever entering the basement. There is spacing along the WaterGuard system that other waterproofing systems do not have which make the system able to better accept the leaking water. WaterGuard drains to this homeowner's new TripleSafe Sump Pump, which contains three pumps so it always works. One of the pumps has a battery back-up in the event of power outages.

To prevent any water vapor from entering the basement walls, Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a CleanSpace Wall Liner. CleanSpace is a white, 20 mil thick plastic liner that is fitted along the walls sealing off the rest of the basement. CleanSpace will last as long as this Princeton home and keep the basement dry. The bright, white coloring of CleanSpace also really brightened this unfinished basement. This basement is now clean, dry, and humidity-free!

Coinciding with this, CleanSpace, a durable, moisture-resistant liner, was to envelop the problem areas on the basement walls. Together, these solutions provide a barrier to moisture and redirect any water ingress effectively. Our dedicated production team worked meticulously, ensuring every aspect of the solution was implemented seamlessly.
