Quality 1st Basement Systems serving Towson, MD

In Towson, MD, we encountered a church with an unfinished basement facing unwanted moisture intrusion on one wall and the prevalent issue of a musty odor. The water problem hadn't just jeopardized storage utility in the basement; it raised concerns about potential damage to the building’s longevity. Once contacted, we quickly arranged a home inspection with one of our experienced sales team members. Through a thorough evaluation, they unraveled the underlying issues. Our solution began with the installation of the WaterGuard system. This reliable, sub-floor perimeter drainage system is designed to capture any wall and floor seepage before it touches the basement floor. It invisibly transports excess water directly to a sump pump, without risk of clogging. Paired with that, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump—known for its triple protection elements. This includes a battery-powered backup pump to mitigate weather-related power outages, ensuring constant basement protection against high water demands and pump failures. Finally, to address air quality and moisture control, we installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls in the space. This revolutionary liner halts moisture invasion, contributes to odor control, and is robust enough to upgrade the mutation of humid environments.

In Towson, MD, a homeowner reached out to us at Quality 1st concerned about groundwater frequently seeping into their basement. The damp conditions endangered not only their storage space but also the integrity of their home’s foundation. They needed a solution that was going to last, something that could effectively defend their basement against repeated water incursions. Upon receiving their call, our dedicated team scheduled an assessment with one of our expert team members. After a comprehensive inspection, it was apparent the basement needed a robust waterproofing system to combat the moisture effectively. We discussed a plan tailored to safeguard their home which involved installing our reliable WaterGuard system paired with the TripleSafe sump pump. The installation process was efficiently executed by our skilled production team. To begin, we positioned the WaterGuard drainage system beneath the surface of the basement floor, misleading water with unobtrusive precision. Its design allows it to stealthily intercept water seeping through wall fissures, guiding it perennially toward the sump pump. Partnered with our TripleSafe sump pump, prepared with three distinct pumps for enhanced reliability and a powerful battery backup, there was an assured escape path for the water dispatched out and away from the house.

We recently assisted a homeowner in Towson, MD, who was struggling with persistent water seepage in their crawl space, which had caused damp conditions, mold growth, and a musty odor throughout the home. The moisture not only affected the crawl space but was also starting to impact the overall air quality inside the house. Worried about potential damage to the home’s foundation and the health risks associated with mold, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent solution. Our team quickly scheduled an inspection to assess the severity of the problem and recommend a comprehensive plan.

After our assessment, we determined that the best solution was to install our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. The SilverGlo panels would provide superior thermal insulation while effectively preventing moisture from penetrating the crawl space, thus reducing the likelihood of further mold growth and heat loss. These panels, with their reflective surface, would also help improve energy efficiency by maintaining a more consistent temperature in the crawl space. With this, the homeowner would be able to reduce their heating and cooling costs while keeping the area dry.

Next, we focused on the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This highly durable, thick plastic sheeting would completely seal the crawl space, blocking water vapor from entering the area and preventing moisture buildup. By installing CleanSpace, we effectively eliminated the root cause of the dampness, transforming the crawl space into a dry, clean, and protected space. The barrier’s tough, puncture-resistant material would also prevent dirt and debris from accumulating, making it easier to maintain the space over time.

Once the installation was complete, the transformation was immediate. The crawl space was now a dry, healthy, and inviting environment. The homeowner noticed a significant improvement in air quality inside their home and felt confident that their foundation was well-protected from future water damage. With the SilverGlo Insulation Panels and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier in place, they were able to breathe easier, knowing their crawl space was secure and their home was more energy-efficient and safer. Quality 1st had provided them with a long-lasting solution that restored both the health of their home and their peace of mind.

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. 

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.
