Before & After Photos

After years of dealing with a damp, musty basement caused by an outdated and unreliable sump pump, a homeowner in Havre De Grace, MD decided it was time for a permanent solution. The moisture had gradually taken its toll, leaving behind peeling paint, unpleasant odors, and growing concerns about mold and air quality. When the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st, our team conducted a thorough inspection and found that water intrusion had significantly worsened over time, putting the overall health and integrity of the basement at risk.

To resolve the issue, we installed a customized waterproofing system designed to eliminate excess moisture and prevent future water damage. At the core of this upgrade was our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, a high-performance unit that provides reliable water removal even during heavy storms. To ensure year-round functionality, we added the IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents backups by allowing water to escape even if the discharge pipe freezes. Finally, to address ongoing humidity and improve air quality, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which keeps the space dry and comfortable by automatically maintaining optimal moisture levels.

These solutions not only resolved the homeowner’s long-standing water issues but also restored their confidence in the safety, cleanliness, and durability of their basement.

Floors above the crawlspace were beginning to sag in this new homeowner's home. We came out, and it was determined that the crawl space needed a little more work than she had inspected.

There was moisture in the crawl space, causing areas of mold, so first we treated the mold with a Mold X Treatment, then we installed a SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, waterguard, a Smart Sump with floor alarm and Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier. The floors above the crawl space had failing joist supports and rotted sill plates, so we corrected the issue by replacing 11 sill plates, installing 5 Supplemental Steal Beams and 9 Smart Jacks.

Overtime this New Holland, PA, homeowner became increasingly worried about persistent water seepage in their basement, which had begun to create a damp, musty environment and raised concerns about potential mold growth and structural damage. After struggling with ineffective solutions, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional assessment and permanent fix.

Our team recommended and installed our patented TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which features three powerful pumps: a primary pump for regular water removal, a secondary pump for backup in case of high water volume, and a battery-powered backup pump to ensure operation during power outages.

With this comprehensive system in place, the basement was quickly transformed into a dry, healthy, and inviting space, free from the worries of water intrusion. The homeowner was relieved, knowing their basement was now protected, secure, and ready to be used for storage or additional living space.

Customer had just purchased their new home, and while tearing up the carpet in the basement, they had taken note that the padding underneath had water spots, and with further investigation, they realized water was seeping in through one wall near their fireplace. Our solution was to install a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the wall, producing the water, waterguard and a SuperSump Pump. 

This customer reached out to our company with concerns of water entering through only one side of the unfinished basement when it would rain. We sent our inspector out to evaluate and provide a solution to correct this water intrusion. The solution provided and installed was Waterguard and CleanSpace along the problematic wall. We also installed a SuperSump Pump, IceGuard and a SaniDry Dehumidifier to keep humidity levels low during those warm humid months.
