Basement, Crawl Space, & Foundation Repair in Baltimore County, MD

A customer had a big problem with water and mold in their basement. Luckily, we knew just what to do when they called us. After removing the carpet, we began our effective Spot Mold Treatment, ridding the space of mold for good. We then installed many of our reliable products to ensure the basement stays dry and mold free, including our SuperSump sump pump which stops water from reentering the space as well as other outside elements such as debris. Other products we installed, including the ThermalDry wall system and TrenchDrain system will guarantee that any water leaking into the home will be transferred into the drainage system while improving humidity and guaranteeing no risk of damage.

A customer wanted to ensure his crawlspace would stay dry and asked for our help. We installed our Drainage Matting and Cleanspace waterproofing systems that will capture any water leaking into the space and direct it to the drain and sump pump so that the crawlspace is always dry. We also insulated the walls with SilverGlo which seals walls to prevent moisture and humidity from entering the space. This will help prevent mold and odors and allow the crawlspace to be more dry and energy efficient, leaving our customer very happy with our services.

One of our customers wanted a dry basement in their home. We installed our high quality TripleSafe sump pump system, a reliable three pump system that prevents basement flooding even when the power is out. WaterGuard was also installed in order to ensure water leaking through the walls and floor will be caught and sent to the pump before any damage can be done. The customer now has a great living space in their basement where they don’t need to worry about flooding.

This Toms River, NJ homeowner was looking for a solution to keep his basement dry at all times. He knew the importance of a battery backup sump pump, so he did some research looking for companies that would install them.  He found Quality 1st Basement Systems, saw their great reviews, and decided to contact them to request an estimate.

Senior Waterproofing Specialist, Jeff, was out to the property and found that this homeowner had an old pump that was not working properly. The sump pit was full of water, and it was letting water vapor back into the basement, causing the homeowner's dehumidifier to constantly run. The discharge line inside the basement was disconnected, and the walls were wet. Jeff provided a permanent solution for this homeowner by recommending the Triple Safe Sump Pump System. Project Manager, Jonathan Neira, was out to install the sump pump and the new discharge line. The Triple Safe has an airtight lid with an alarm that will alert the homeowner in case of pump failure. It also includes a battery backup sump pump that will operate in case of a power outage. The new discharge line will direct the water away from the foundation and will stop water from spraying on the wall.

After the installation was completed, this homeowner was happy to have a properly working sump pump system and had complete peace of mind and assurance.

This home was on the market but failed an inspection due to cracks in the foundation caused by bowing walls.  It was also missing a center beam. We installed 13 CarbonArmor straps to guarantee that the wall would be structurally sounds and stop further bowing.  We also installed 4 SmartJacks to hold up new LVL center beams to support the joists.  

The result was that the floors are now properly supported and that walls are repaired.  Ready to list and sell.  

This basement had old dark paneling from the 70's.  There was also a foundation water seepage problem and damp smell.  

First, we dried the space.  We installed 102 feet of Waterguard to keep the basement dry.  We also installed a SuperSump with UltraSump battery backup.   Then we finished the basement with TBF Everlast wall.  After installing a drop ceiling, we installed Thermal Tile subflooring that is designed to insulate the floor and protect the carpet.  The floor surface Temperature will now be up to 7 degrees warmer.  It also prevents carpet dry rot which comes from vapor transmission through the concrete floor. This job is ready for carpet. 

This Basement needed an upgraded SuperSump system with a battery backup. We also had to put in a septic sump right next to it so that we could install a full bathroom.  Like most basements, there was also a problem with humidity, so we installed our SaniDry dehumidifier. This system comes with duct work to vent into the finished room. In addition to this, we used TBF wall panels and flooring system, which are guaranteed against water or mold damage. There is no chance of this basement getting ruined by water ever again.  Lastly, we installed an egress window and window well. The job went smoothly and the results are self-evident.  Another beautiful, dry, basement.  

This home had serious problems. The house was built on only pillars and had no foundation walls in the crawlspace. The result was that mud and water kept coming in through the sides, causing a very damp environment under the home. The moisture caused mold, wood rot, and a bad smell upstairs. It also created a serious problem for the heating and air conditioning system because the ducts were running in the crawl space. The ducts were cooled by the moisture in the winter and vice versa in the summer, causing the electrical bill to skyrocket. What to do? We dug out the perimeter and poured footings. Then filled the spaces between the pillars with a cinder block foundation wall. Now that the mud and water is being held back from entering into the crawl space, we could focus on changing the environment down there. We installed a Super Sump and a Clean space vapor barrier that kept the moisture from evaporating from the earth into the crawl space. Then we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier that kept the overall humidity low. Now the space is clean and dry, and the ducts are operating much better.       

This basement had an old waterproofing systems with and old sump which was not making the cut.  We ripped it all out and installed the new Waterguard systems along with a TripleSafe Sump system that includes the Batter Back-up pump.  

This block wall was in trouble. Pressure from the soil and water pushed the wall inwards, causing it to bow. The best solution in this case was to install GeoLock wall anchors. These anchors are guaranteed for 25 years against failure, ensuring that the wall will not fail. The excavation outside was cleaned up perfectly, and you can hardly see that we were there.  

The basement in this church had monolithic foundations. Monolithic foundations are different from standard foundations because the floor is poured as part of the footer and the foundation walls are placed on top of the floor. This means that we cannot cut the floor to install the traditional sub-floor drainage system to waterproof the basement.

After we removed the walls, toilet, and sink, we installed the DryTrak cove channel system that drains water away without cutting the floor. The bathroom is waterproofed and ready to be put back together.

This basement used to be finished, but constant water seepage destroyed it and made it unusable and dangerous due to mold. These kinds of conditions are potentially hazardous to your health, and the loss of equity is often two or three times more than the cost of repair.

The first thing we did was gut the whole basement out by removing all organic material. This included all drywall, flooring, doors, and wooden shelving. Then we installed the WaterGuard basement waterproofing system around the perimeter. This system removes water from the walls and from under the floor and redirects it into a sump pump. Then we installed a vapor barrier against the walls so that the homeowner could reinstall the walls without worrying about moisture from the foundation walls.

The result is that the basement is bone dry, ready to be refinished. The home’s value has been restored and the basement is safe again.

A homeowner from Whitehouse Station, NJ had a slab on their pool deck that was sinking about an inch and a half into the ground. Quality 1st Basements lifted the slab with Polylevel which expanded under the slabs and lifted it so it was level. Now the homeowner will have a level surface to walk on while using their pool. 

After living in their home for over twenty years, an Avenel, NJ homeowner decided to replace their entire gutter system. The homeowner contacted  Quality 1st Basement Systems and scheduled an appointment for a specialist to come out and provide a free estimate. We had our System Design Specialist out to inspect the gutters. After carefully inspecting the old gutters, he provided the homeowner with a quote for the Gutter Shutter.

The Gutter Shutter is an "all-in-one", durable new gutter system that can carry 20% more water than the average 5" gutters, and has a 50-year paint warranty. It is also made from heavy 032 aluminum, so it will not sag. The Gutter Shutter also has a hood that protects the inside from leaves, debris, and ice, and it also has small perforations that allow water to flow slowly and smoothly through the gutters. All of these qualities intrigued the homeowner, persuading them to schedule another appointment for our crew to come out and install the Gutter Shutter. 

Within the next week, the Gutter Shutter was installed, and the homeowner no longer had to worry about maintenance. Since then, they have been competently satisfied. 

This homeowner in Springfield, New Jersey noticed their crawl space was damp and smelly. This can happen when a crawl space is exposed to the earth's elements. Dirt and soil can hold a lot of moisture, which eventually turns into water vapor that rises into the air. A damp crawl space can have many negative effects on your home, and health such as aggravated allergies, mold growth, increased energy bills, rotting wood, smelly carpets, and even pests! 

The homeowner did not want this issue to go without a solution, so they contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems. Our customer care representative booked them an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Joe Mancini who provided a free thorough inspection. Joe suggested they encapsulate the space to seal it from the earth's elements. 

A few days later, our foreman, Esau arrived at the home and started to install our Drainage Matting. This will trap any water underneath and drain it to the sump pump. Next, Esau installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System which is a thick and durable liner. This system will block out moisture and humidity and keep the space dry and healthy. 

Since the homeowner had CleanSpace installed, they have not experienced any other issues with their crawl space. By sealing their crawl space, they have eliminated moisture, musty smells, mold growth, and pests!

The main components of the basement waterproofing system include the installation of our WaterGuard French Drain System, Triple Safe Sump Pump System, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Each system is durable and will keep the basement dry and healthy. WaterGuard is designed to collect water seeping into the basement and direct it to the Triple Safe Sump Pump, where it will pump the water away from the basement. The SaniDry Dehumidifier will keep the basement air dry and healthy. The homeowner agreed with this solution and scheduled another date for the installation.

They searched the Internet for possible solutions and came across Quality 1st Basement Systems. After reviewing their work, the homeowner decided to hire them for the job. 

We used the Polylevel Injection Method to lift and level the sinking concrete. Our crew first drilled small, penny-sized holes into the sinking concrete. They then injected a waterproof polyurethane foam into the void between the slab and Earth. Once the void has been filled, the polyurethane foam expanded and lifted the concrete to the desired height. 

Once the pool deck was leveled, our crew sealed any gaps with the NenusPro Joint Sealant. Peace of mind was restored to the homeowner knowing their pool deck is ready for next summer! 

A homeowner living in Trumbauersville, PA noticed their concrete sidewalk was sinking three inches. They knew this problem could become a safety risk on their property, so they needed to have it fixed. They remember receiving a postcard from Quality 1st Basement Systems for a free concrete estimate. 

After a careful inspection of the sidewalk, we recommended Polylevel Injection as the best solution. Some benefits of using poly level include it being waterproof and recovering after fifteen minutes. The homeowner agreed that this was the best solution for their home and scheduled the installation date. 

A few weeks later, our crew arrived at the home and repaired the sidewalk. The crew drilled penny-like holes into the concrete and injected the waterproof polyurethane foam into the void between the slab and Earth. Once the void has been filled the foam expands and lifts the concrete. Once the sidewalk is even, our crew used a waterproof joint sealant to seal any gaps within the sidewalk. 

Peace of mind was restored to the homeowner knowing their sidewalk is repaired.

A few weeks later, our crew arrived at the home and installed the barrier. Peace of mind was restored to the homeowner knowing their crawl space is fully protected.

Recently, we had the opportunity to work with a homeowner in Nottingham, MD, who reached out to our company seeking an urgent upgrade to their sump pump system, along with the addition of a battery backup. The homeowner’s main concern revolved around their existing setup, which included a perimeter drainage system but lacked the reliability and power they needed, especially in heavy rain situations.

Understanding the urgency, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled an appointment for a System Design Specialist to visit the home.

This homeowner recently encountered a challenging issue in Monkton, MD. After having their basement walls repointed, they noticed that their existing waterproofing system wasn't doing its job effectively anymore. They suspected, and rightly so, that the mortar dust from the repointing work had clogged up the waffle board, preventing water from weeping through the wall into their waterproofing system.

This Dundalk, MD, homeowner started to notice troubling signs in their basement, such as sagging floors and bowed support beams. Over time, these issues worsened, making them increasingly concerned about the safety and stability of their home.

A homeowner in Lutherville Timonium, MD had grown increasingly concerned about persistent water seepage in their crawl space. Over time, the space had become damp, humid, and unwelcoming—raising fears about mold growth, wood rot, and poor air quality affecting the rest of the home. Recognizing the potential impact on their home’s health and value, the homeowner decided it was time for a long-term solution. That’s when they reached out to Quality 1st for expert assistance.

Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space to pinpoint the sources of moisture and assess the overall condition.
