Old Basement Windows updated to New EverLast Windows

At this home we installed our IceGuard discharge line from the home to the rear of the property. Our IceGuard discharge line will prevent any type of flooding from being clogged or frozen in cold weather. The water can escape even if the outlet of the pipe is buried under snow or ice, keeping your basement dry in those cold months. 

When a basement starts showing signs of persistent water problems, quick action is essential. This Reisterstown, MD homeowner was dealing with ongoing moisture intrusion caused by a leaky window and insufficient drainage support. Concerned about potential damage, mold growth, and long-term structural issues, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a reliable, customized solution.

Our team developed a diverse waterproofing strategy that addressed every source of water entry. We installed our RockWell Egress Window Well to prevent leaks through the window, a WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water along the basement perimeter, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System with primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps for continuous protection. To finish the space, we added EverLast Wall Panels, a moisture- and mold-resistant wall solution that provides a durable, low-maintenance finish.

Together, these systems eliminated water intrusion, protected the home’s foundation, and gave the homeowner lasting peace of mind!

Gradually, a homeowner in Reisterstown, MD began to observe signs of water seepage affecting their basement, as moisture started accumulating along the walls and floors. These persistent conditions raised concerns about potential mold growth, compromised air quality, and the risk of long-term structural deterioration. Feeling uncertain about how to properly address the issue, the homeowner turned to the trusted professionals at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution.

After a detailed evaluation by our System Design Specialist John, a fully customized waterproofing plan was developed to effectively manage water intrusion and control humidity levels. The solution included the installation of our patented TrenchDrain System to capture and redirect incoming water, along with our TripleSafe Sump Pump for reliable discharge. CleanSpace Wall Panels and BrightWall Panels were also installed to create a clean, moisture-resistant basement environment, while our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier helped maintain healthy humidity levels and improve air quality.

Together, these systems restored the basement to a dry, protected, and functional space, giving the homeowner renewed confidence in the safety and longevity of their home!

This customer was in need of a sump pump upgrade so we delivered - in the form of a SuperSump pump system with a cast iron pump, capable of pumping up to 2,300 gallons per hour, a heavy-duty liner with an airtight lid that keeps moisture and critters from coming up into the basement, and a WaterWatch Alarm system which alerts you if the water in your sump gets higher than the point where the pump should turn on, giving you time to address the problem before damage occurs.

Another wise choice by this homeowner was our SaniDry Sedona, lovingly referred to as the “Pint-Sized Powerhouse” for its high performance and high efficiency. Small enough to fit in a crawl space, powerful enough to pull 100 pints of moisture out of the air per day and to move 300 cubic feet per minute (yup, I said minute) of that dry air around your space, and by way of a discharge hose, it automatically drains into your sump system. A true set it and forget it! As an added bonus, the SaniDry’s “duet” filter removes airborne allergens like mold spores, dust and the #1 offender, dust mite droppings!

Although not at all hard on the eyes, this small giant can be tucked away out of site and vented with ductwork into the rooms of your choosing.   

Move over, store-bought dehumidifiers. You don’t stand a chance against a Sedona!!
