This customer contacted us looking to waterproof her basement as well as upgrade her sump pump to a newer system with an airtight lid and a battery-powered backup. We chose to offer her the Supersump System. This system features the Zoeller M63 1/3 HP pump, capable of pumping 2,650 gallons per hour, a Waterwatch Alarm System that sounds off if the water rises above the point where the pump should turn on, the Superliner basin and an airtight lid. This system also features a CleanPump Stand, which serves to elevate the the pump from any silt or sediment that may build up at the bottom of the basin. For the battery backup we installed the Ultrasump 4, which features an automatic switching system to keep your basement dry in case of a power outage, main pump failure, tripped breaker or simply an unplugged main pump.
To further waterproof her basement this customer also chose our Waterguard French Drain System and our Cleanspace Wall Liner, which is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that helps guide any water seepage down to the drainage system.
For this project we came out and upgraded the basements current window to an Egress window. The material used for this job consisted of a 27 x 45 In-Swing Egress window, Bowman Kemp Metal Egress Well and Plastic Cover. We also installed a Well Duct Drain that connected to their current waterproofing system.
We were reached out to by the buyers of this of this property, while going through home inspections, one of the inspectors had pointed out that the pillars were not stable enough to support the house and they would need to be assessed as soon as possible.
We came out to the property to find the current support system made up of cinder blocks and 2 x 6s and we knew immediately our Smart Jack System was needed for this crawlspace.
We came out and installed 1 Supplemental Steel Beam with 2 Smart Jacks. SmartJack is a high- capacity adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and can even raise your floor back to where it was.
This customer was looking for help improving her dirt floor crawlspace. The space had a strong musty odor and there were definite signs of mold growth. We recommended a crawlspace encapsulation system with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. First, we started by regrading the ground to redirect any water seepage towards her sump system. Then we removed the old insulation and treated the entire area with our Mold X2 cleaner and botanical. In place of the old insulation, we installed our SilverGlo insulated wall panels and spray foam. Finally, we lined the floor in Cleanspace drainage matting and our Cleanspace liner. This crawlspace is now safer, healthier and more energy efficient.
A homeowner in Catonsville, MD, began noticing persistent water seepage in their basement after periods of heavy rainfall. The moisture created damp conditions, raising concerns about the potential for rot and mold growth, which could affect the foundation and the overall health of the home. Worried about the long-term damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, seeking a professional and lasting solution to protect their basement and restore the integrity of their home.
Our team thoroughly inspected the basement and quickly identified areas where water was entering. To resolve the issue, we developed a customized waterproofing strategy that included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, TrenchDrain System, and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. These high-performance systems worked together to capture, direct, and remove water from the basement, preventing future moisture intrusion.
With the systems in place, the homeowner gained peace of mind, knowing their basement was dry, healthy, and fully protected from further water damage!
