Before & After Photos

What started as occasional dampness quickly escalated into a persistent water problem for a homeowner in Baldwin, MD. Their aging sump pump was no longer capable of handling the volume of moisture entering the basement, and signs of water damage, including musty odors and visible seepage, began to appear.

Concerned about the risks of mold growth and structural weakening, they contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution. During our thorough inspection, we traced the intrusion to hydrostatic pressure around the foundation, compounded by the outdated sump system's inability to keep up. Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan to address the issue at its source.

The solution began with the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which sits above the foundation footing to capture water before it reaches the basement floor. We paired this with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, a powerful and reliable unit designed to keep up with heavy water flow. To ensure year-round functionality, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents frozen lines from causing backups during winter months.

Together, these systems work seamlessly to keep the basement dry, healthy, and protected, giving the homeowner the peace of mind they were looking for and restoring the basement to a safe, usable space!

Customer had concerns that when it rained, water was coming in through the wall, dripping down and puddling on the floor. To correct this, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier on the wall, Waterguard was installed along the perimeter which directs the water coming in, to our SuperSump Pump.

In this Rosedale home, the sump pump was not pumping and would continuously fill up. The team removed the old system and installed our SuperSump pump with the Zoeller M53 cast iron pump that is specifically designed to pump out 2,600-6,200 gallons per hour. This system has an airtight lid that keeps out insects, odors and even Radon gas with a built-in alarm that will alert the owner that the water level has risen. The area is now safe and your basement is water free.

In this dirt floor in Rosedale, MD, the crawl space airflow was coming up into the home and causing the owners to use more energy to keep the upstairs area warm. Our team went into the space to remove and haul away all the debris for the installation of our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. This treatment turns your space from a moldy, damp, dirty space into a clean, dry place that will no longer have mold grow or critters creeping into the home.
