In Chesapeake City, MD, a homeowner began noticing troubling signs of foundation settlement in their basement, including cracking and bowing walls. Concerned about the structural integrity of their home, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional assessment.
Upon arrival, our team conducted a detailed inspection and confirmed that the foundation issues were being caused by a combination of water intrusion and soil pressure. To properly address the problem, we designed a customized repair plan to stabilize the foundation and prevent future damage.
Our solution included the installation of three of our most trusted systems. First, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to collect and redirect any incoming water away from the foundation. To protect the interior walls and control moisture, we applied CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier and brighten the basement environment. Lastly, our crew reinforced the bowing walls with our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System, carbon fiber straps that permanently stabilize the structure without invasive construction.
Together, these systems resolved the homeowner’s foundation concerns and restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and stable condition.

We began by installing our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect any incoming water before it reached the basement floor. Next, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were added to improve energy efficiency and create a clean, moisture-resistant barrier along the walls.
