This house had problems with bouncy and sagging floors. We installed three SmartJacks with galvanized steel beams to help carry the load of the joist. First, we dig holes in the floor and fill them with crushed stone to provide a base for the SmartJacks. Then we install the jacks with 8-foot-long galvanized steel beams. This solved the problem. The floor is nice and sturdy.
This customer's basement stairwell door area would flood when it rains due to the small drain filling up with leaves and debris. We dug up the cement floor to create the installation of our TrenchDrain system, which would redirect any water to the nearest sump pump. By capturing any surface water and redirecting to the sump, this prevents flooding and any water from entering in home.
For this finished basement, the owner wanted a finishing floor installed to complete the basement. Our Elite Plank flooring is made out of inorganic materials thathelps absorb any and all moisture, preventing swelling or buckling. We were able to tear up and remove all old flooring that had been damaged over time. Once that was done, we installed our Elite Plank flooring throughout the basement. With plank flooring, each piece is removable and can easily be cleaned, fixed or even replaced without ruining the rest of the floor.
In this unfinished basement, water and mud would come into the home during heavy rainstorms and it was also believed that water was coming in through the concrete walls. We removed and replaced the old sump system with our TripleSafe Sump pump that will auto-adjust to meet the pumping requirements. The system is installed with an UltraSump battery backup that protects the new system from flooding during power outages.
This Edgewood, MD homeowner had been struggling with persistent water seepage in their basement, which led to a damp, uncomfortable environment and raised concerns about potential long-term damage. The moisture was affecting the air quality and structure of the home, prompting the homeowner to seek a permanent solution. After contacting Quality 1st, our team assessed the situation and recommended a dynamic waterproofing system tailored to the home’s needs.
To address the issue, we installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System along the basement perimeter to capture water and direct it away from the space. Additionally, we added our TrenchDrain System to prevent surface water from entering through the basement's entry points. CleanSpace Wall Panels were applied to shield against moisture, while our powerful TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to ensure consistent water removal. Finally, we equipped the basement with our IceGuard Discharge Line to maintain proper drainage during freezing conditions.
Together, these systems effectively eliminated moisture intrusion, transforming the basement into a dry, healthy, and protected space.
