Before & After Photos

Recently in Joppa, MD, a homeowner was growing increasingly concerned as moisture continued to infiltrate their basement and subtle signs of foundation settlement began to appear. Cracks along the walls and a lingering dampness raised red flags, signaling that without intervention, the situation could evolve into serious structural damage and mold infestation. Recognizing the urgency, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a permanent, professional solution. After a thorough inspection, our team identified the underlying issues and crafted a targeted plan to address both the moisture problems and the shifting foundation.

To combat the dual threat, we installed our SilverGlo Insulation Panels, designed to reflect heat, resist moisture, and enhance overall energy efficiency. These high-performance panels create a protective thermal barrier that keeps the basement dry and comfortable year-round. To reinforce the structural integrity of the home, we also implemented our PowerBrace Wall Repair System, an adjustable, steel I-beam solution that permanently stabilizes and supports bowing or cracked foundation walls.

With these durable systems in place, the basement is now fully protected from further water damage and structural movement, allowing the homeowner to feel confident and secure in their home once again!

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.
