Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Baltimore, MD, began noticing persistent water intrusion in their basement, likely caused by heavy rainfall and inadequate drainage around the foundation. As the water continued to seep in, the homeowner became increasingly concerned about the potential damage to the structure and the growth of mold or mildew. Understanding the need for a reliable solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st, seeking expert help to protect their home from further water damage and ensure a dry, healthy environment in their basement.

After identifying the source of the water intrusion, we recommended a dynamic waterproofing approach, which included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our IceGuard Discharge Line. The WaterGuard system was designed to efficiently collect and direct water away from the basement, while the TripleSafe Sump Pump ensured that any water that did enter was quickly pumped out. To protect against freezing temperatures, we added the IceGuard Discharge Line, ensuring the system would continue to function even in the coldest months.

With these advanced systems in place, the homeowner's basement is now effectively sealed from water intrusion, providing peace of mind and a dry, protected space for years to come!

In Baltimore, MD, a homeowner had been feeling increasingly anxious due to persistent water seepage in their basement, which had led to damp conditions and a musty odor that never seemed to go away. Despite their best efforts to control the issue, the water continued to seep through the foundation, causing the homeowner to worry about mold growth, potential damage to the foundation, and the overall health of their home. Realizing that they needed professional help to prevent further damage, they contacted Quality 1st for an expert assessment of their basement.

Our team recommended and installed a comprehensive solution, beginning with our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water away from the basement. We added our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump to efficiently remove the water and protect the space from future flooding. To ensure the basement was both dry and mold-resistant, we installed EverLast Wall Panels that are moisture-proof and durable.

With these systems in place, the homeowner’s once-damp and uncomfortable basement was transformed into a dry, healthy, and inviting space that provided total peace of mind!

This long-time Baltimore, MD homeowner has trusted Quality 1st for years to protect their basement from water damage and maintain a healthy home environment.

As part of their ongoing commitment to preventative care, they scheduled their annual maintenance service, during which our Service Technician performed a full inspection of their SuperSump Premier Sump Pump. The visit included a thorough cleaning of the sump pit to remove debris and sediment, a detailed check of all system components, and a performance test to ensure the pump activated and discharged water properly.

Our Service Technician also confirmed that the discharge line was free of blockages, ensuring the system could operate efficiently during heavy rainfall or sudden storms. This type of routine maintenance is essential for preventing unexpected failures and extending the lifespan of the sump pump system.

Thanks to these proactive measures, the homeowner continues to enjoy reliable, year-round protection and the peace of mind that their basement is prepared for whatever the weather brings!
