Before & After Photos

This Baldwin customer reached out to our company in need of basement waterproofing. The customer had multiple locations in the basement, where water would come through the block foundation whenever it rained. We sent our experienced inspector out to the property to assess and come up with the best solution for correcting the water intrusion. The solution he came up with was to install Waterguard and a CleanSpace along the problematic wall. The CleanSpace will direct any water intruding through the foundation, down to the Waterguard, which will then direct the water over to our SuperSump Pump that we installed as well and will be pumped out of the basement and away from the house. We also installed a SaniDry XP that will keep humidity low and will tie into the sump pump, so not only will the SuperSump pump out the intruding water from the block walls, but will also dump out any moisture collected from the dehumidifier.

In this old cellar, a musty smell was starting to occur because the basement was getting humid due to the sump pump system failing. At times the system wasn't able to pump out the amount of water it was taking in and began to flood the area. We removed the old system and installed our SuperSump pump system with a Zoeller M53 cast iron pump and have the WaterWatch alarm system that will allow the homeowner to know if water levels get too high. 

What started as occasional dampness quickly escalated into a persistent water problem for a homeowner in Baldwin, MD. Their aging sump pump was no longer capable of handling the volume of moisture entering the basement, and signs of water damage, including musty odors and visible seepage, began to appear.

Concerned about the risks of mold growth and structural weakening, they contacted Quality 1st for a permanent solution. During our thorough inspection, we traced the intrusion to hydrostatic pressure around the foundation, compounded by the outdated sump system's inability to keep up. Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan to address the issue at its source.

The solution began with the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which sits above the foundation footing to capture water before it reaches the basement floor. We paired this with our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, a powerful and reliable unit designed to keep up with heavy water flow. To ensure year-round functionality, we added our IceGuard Discharge Line, which prevents frozen lines from causing backups during winter months.

Together, these systems work seamlessly to keep the basement dry, healthy, and protected, giving the homeowner the peace of mind they were looking for and restoring the basement to a safe, usable space!

Customer had concerns that when it rained, water was coming in through the wall, dripping down and puddling on the floor. To correct this, we installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier on the wall, Waterguard was installed along the perimeter which directs the water coming in, to our SuperSump Pump.
