Before & After Photos

In this Gwynn Oak, MD basement, the foundation was starting to settle and needed a system to prevent further sagging. Our team went out to the property to install our SmartJack Stabilizer System that are high capacity steel piers that are designed to stop the settling and can potentially raise the upper level back to original level. We replaced the center beam and temporary supports with our SmartJacks that will permanently fix sagging problem which can adjust future settling.  

A homeowner in Gwynn Oak, MD, was experiencing water seepage issues in their basement. The moisture was impacting the basement walls and creating a risk for mold, mildew, and rot. They contacted Quality 1st Basements, who conducted a comprehensive inspection. The System Design Specialist recommended installing CleanSpace. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a robust moisture liner designed to prevent water vapor and moisture from permeating the basement air. Additionally, it helps manage existing mold and rot. The homeowner can now feel assured that their family has access to safe, breathable air and that their basement is protected from further deterioration.

This homeowner was experiencing water intrusion in their basement in Towson, MD. The water was coming up through the bottom of the doorframe. The moisture was creating potential mold on the wall. Our System Design Specialist did a full inspection and suggested TrenchDrain to drain the water at the doorway and direct it to the sump pump. The homeowner could now relax knowing that their basement was protected from further water damage and mold growth. 

This Baltimore County resident asked us to come out to another property of his for basement waterproofing. Leaving that property behind and purchasing another in the same county, it unfortunately had the same issue, when it would rain, water would enter in through the block foundation walls. Liking the waterproofing system that was installed at his other property, he reached back out to us for help.

We fully waterproofed this basement with the help of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump and IceGuard. Our CleanSpace is placed from floor to ceiling on the foundation walls and it is tied directly into the Waterguard perimeter drain. Any water that may think it is getting into this basement to cause issues, will be met by this barrier and it will be directed straight down to the Waterguard. Once water enters the Waterguard it will then travel over to the SuperSump Pump. SuperSump then takes that water and pumps it outside via the discharge line. As added protection for the basement, we installed our IceGuard on the exterior of the foundation, where the discharge line is. Thanks to the design of our Iceguard, it will stop any water from backing into the basement if and when the discharge line freezes in those cold winter months.

We recently assisted a homeowner in Baltimore, MD, who had been dealing with persistent wet basement conditions caused by ongoing water seepage, primarily due to a lack of proper drainage support. As moisture continued to infiltrate the space, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about the potential for mold growth and structural decay. In search of a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st to address the issue before it caused further damage. Our team quickly assessed the situation and developed a plan to install a comprehensive waterproofing system to resolve the ongoing water problems and protect the integrity of the home.

Our team arrived at the home and began by installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System around the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation. To ensure reliable water removal, we installed the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, which is designed to handle high volumes of water. We also added our IceGuard Discharge Line to prevent freezing and ensure proper water flow during the colder months. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which provide a moisture-resistant barrier against future water intrusion. With these high-performance systems in place, the homeowner’s basement is now dry, healthy, and protected, giving them peace of mind knowing their home is safeguarded from future water damage.
