Before & After Photos

Property manager of this Lancaster PA rental home contacted Basement Systems to assess the issue of "bubbling paint" and "Musty smell" coming from the basement. When our inspector Chris Cooke went out to this property, seeing that there could be no leaking pipes, it was determined that ground water had been leaking in to this basement and when that is left unattended, mold can start to grow and cause that musty smell. 

Basement Systems came out and did a spotted MoldX2 treatment and installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on all 4 foundation walls. CleanSpace not only stops water from penetrating the walls, but it is also a quick, economical way to cover up, not so pretty basement walls.

The crawl space in this Lancaster, PA, home was suffering from severe groundwater intrusion, even though it had been encapsulated before. The original barrier was failing, allowing water to seep through and create a damp, unprotected space. This made the crawl space vulnerable to potential mold growth, odors, and structural issues, and the homeowner was understandably concerned.

After a thorough evaluation, we installed our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, providing a robust moisture barrier and addressing the groundwater issue head-on. The new encapsulation system not only restored the crawl space to a dry, protected environment but also offered the homeowner peace of mind. Now, his Lancaster, PA, home has a durable solution that will keep the crawl space dry, effectively sealing out moisture and ensuring lasting protection against water intrusion.

A homeowner in Joppa, MD, was dealing with recurring moisture intrusion caused by an outdated sump pump system that had failed to provide adequate protection. Over time, the persistent moisture led to growing concerns about mold growth and potential rot, leaving the homeowner worried about the long-term damage to their home. Determined to resolve the issue once and for all, they reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Our team quickly assessed the situation and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to effectively capture and redirect water away from the foundation. Additionally, we replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, designed to provide reliable, powerful water removal.

With these advanced systems in place, we successfully eliminated further water seepage and gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their basement would stay dry and protected!

A homeowner from Bel Air, MD was looking to safeguard their property from moisture and energy loss. They called Quality 1st Basements for a free quote and a full inspection. Our System Design Specialist suggested CleanSpace and SilverGlo for effective protection. By installing CleanSpace in the crawl space, they created a durable vapor barrier that prevented humidity and mold growth, improving indoor air quality. To further enhance energy efficiency, they added SilverGlo insulation, which helped regulate the home's temperature year-round and reduced energy bills. Together, these solutions provided comprehensive protection, ensuring the home remained dry, comfortable, and energy-efficient for years to come.
