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 homeowner reached out regarding an unfinished basement that was getting water through both the floor and walls. We were able to install our WaterGuard, which is a non-clogging sub-floor drainage system that will keep the basement dry. The rugged plastic is designed to catch any seepage through walls or floor leaks along the perimeter, which will never rust or deteriorate over time. Once water is captured into the sub-floor drainage system, it will flow down to our SuperSump pump system, which will then pump out and away from the home.
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.
In this basement entry way, we removed the old sump pump and installed our TripleSafe pump system with twin liner. Once the TripleSafe was securely placed, we installed our TrenchDrain system, which is an elongated drain that is used to remove surface water from the area. The below level grade drain channel is connected to the sump pump system that will pump the water out safely.
At this property in Baltimore, MD the homeowners didn't have a working sump system, so they contacted us for a solution. Our team dug out around the corner of the basement to remove the sump and installed our SuperSump Pump System with Zoeller cast iron pump. This is designed to pump out high volumes of water. This system will capture the groundwater coming in, which safely pumps out the water, eliminating the potential hazard of a flood.
