Before & After Photos

This project in Parkton, MD included a Triple Safe sump pump with battery backup, WaterGuard drainage system, and Thermal wall vapor barrier.

An Odenton, MD homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems after dealing with persistent water seepage caused by an outdated sump pump system. Wanting a permanent fix, they trusted our team to assess the issue and deliver a reliable solution.

Upon inspection, our experts identified the root cause of the moisture problem and designed a customized waterproofing plan. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect water away from the foundation, paired with our powerful TripleSafe Sump Pump System for triple-layered protection—including a battery backup for peace of mind during potential power outages.

This dynamic approach effectively stopped the water intrusion, leaving the basement dry, healthy, and fully protected for years to come!

Recent water damage in this basement resulted in wet, smelly carpet, a ruined drop ceiling and damaged drywall that needed to be torn out and hauled away. We replaced the drop ceiling with materials provided by the homeowner and installed our TBF waterproof crown molding for an attractive finished look that will never mold or mildew. A trench drain was installed at the bottom of the exterior stairs to keep water from rising to the level where it could enter through the basement door. We upgraded the old sump pump, replacing it with our SuperSump system, consisting of a Zoeller M53 pump, with a pumping capacity of 2,600 gallons per hour. In the unlikely event the pump was to fail, the system includes a WaterWatch Alarm that emits a smoke alarm-type sound if the water in the sump rises above the point where the pump should turn on, which allows you time to address the problem before damage occurs. The airtight SuperSump lid sits solidly on the heavy-duty SuperLiner, keeping moisture, bugs, radon gas and odors from entering your basement. The lid is even strong enough to stand on, so feel free to stack items on top of it, if you need the space!

Customer wanted to encapsulate the crawlspace due to fear of Mold and Wood Rot .

We installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, SilverGlow, and Rim Joist Spray foam insulation and a SaniDry Dehumidifier

This customer had recently purchased the home and discovered one of the basement windows was leaking. Instead of just having us correct the leak, they decided they wanted to upgrade the window to an Egress. We upgraded the leaky window to a 48 x 48 Slider Egress and installed a 66 x 48 RockWell with Cover.
