Before & After Photos

We poured concrete into a stairwell that had dirt as a floor.

This Kingsville, MD homeowner had been struggling with persistent water intrusion in their basement, which had caused the space to become damp, dreary, and uninviting. The constant moisture led the homeowner to avoid using the basement, fearing mold growth and further damage.

Seeking a permanent solution, they contacted Quality 1st, and our team of waterproofing professionals quickly assessed the situation. After identifying the source of the water issues, we recommended and installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to efficiently channel water away from the basement, along with our TrenchDrain System to manage surface water around entry points. Additionally, we installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, designed to quickly remove water and prevent flooding.

The result was a dramatic transformation— the basement was restored to a dry, healthy, and inviting environment, and the homeowner was thrilled with the results, enjoying total peace of mind knowing their basement was now fully protected!

A homeowner in Edgewater, MD, grew increasingly concerned about signs of foundation settlement in their crawl space, after observing uneven floors and sagging support beams. Recognizing that the issue could lead to further damage, they reached out to Quality 1st for a professional solution.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and recommended the installation of our patented SmartJack Reinforcement System, which provides strong, adjustable support to weakened beams. The system was carefully installed, effectively stabilizing the foundation and lifting the beams back into position.

As a result, the homeowner was able to restore their crawl space to a stable, healthy, and inviting condition, ensuring long-term protection for their home!

At Quality 1st, we recently tackled a challenge faced by a homeowner in Annapolis, MD, who was dealing with an old and decaying vapor barrier in their crawl space. The dirt floor beneath their home was not only a concern for the integrity of their property but also for their health, as damp crawl spaces can lead to mold and poor air quality inside the home. Our System Design Specialist visited the home, where a thorough examination revealed the issues at hand. We proposed installing our CleanSpace liner along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to completely encapsulate the crawl space, prevent moisture entry, and ensure the air remained dry and healthy. 

Water has been getting into this dirt crawlspace in this Middle River, MD home. The insulation from the last job was falling off the walls. They called Quality 1st Basements to assess their water damage. System Design Specialist, Jeff Yentzer did a full inspection and recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation. CleanSpace is made from a durable liner that creates a barrier from the moist wall to the crawlspace air and the material doesn't support the growth of mold or mildew. The homeowner can now relax knowing their encapsulated crawlspace is fully protected from further moisture damage and they have a pleasing to the eye storage space.
