Before & After Photos

These are pictures of a typical city row home basement entry. The stairwells often flood because the drain is not big enough or not connected properly for an outlet. The water can now be easily managed by installing proper drainage and a large TrenchDrain.

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!

This basement in Baltimore, MD, had water coming in through the doorway during heavy rainfall. Our team went out to dig up the entryway for us to install our TrenchDrain System that will capture surface water at the bottom of the stairwell. This system is easily removable to clear, and with this installation, the homeowners will no longer have water in the basement. Thanks to our crew, the homeowner's peace of mind was restored! 

Current customer reached back out to us after we waterproofed his basement, now wanting to look into receiving a free estimate for finishing his basement. We sent out the original inspector to assess the area and work with the customer on how they would like to turn this unfinished space, into a useable area.

We added new flooring, walls and a linen drop ceiling to help bring his basement vision to reality.

A homeowner in Baltimore, MD, was facing persistent moisture issues in their basement, primarily caused by cracks in the foundation walls. The recurring water intrusion not only disrupted their daily peace of mind but also forced them to postpone plans to finish and utilize the basement as a functional living space. Frustrated and seeking a reliable, long-term solution, they contacted Quality 1st for professional help.

After a detailed inspection, our team recommended and installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, designed to capture water at the point of entry and redirect it safely away from the home’s foundation. To complete the waterproofing solution and restore the basement’s appearance, we installed EverLast Basement Wall Panels, a mold-resistant, durable, and attractive wall finish ideal for moisture-prone environments.

Together, these systems transformed the basement into a dry, healthy, and inviting space, allowing the homeowner to move forward with confidence in finishing their basement as originally planned.
