In North East, MD, a homeowner was dealing with persistent moisture problems in their basement. Over time, they noticed damp spots, musty odors, and signs of water pooling—especially after heavy rains. The root of the issue was an old, failing sump pump that could no longer handle the volume of water entering the space. Concerned about the potential for mold growth and long-term damage, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems in search of a permanent, effective solution.
After conducting a thorough inspection, our team designed a custom waterproofing plan tailored to the home’s specific needs. We installed our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water at the wall-floor joint and direct it efficiently to our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides triple the protection with a battery backup for power outages. To control wall moisture and improve the look of the space, we added CleanSpace Wall Panels, and for year-round discharge protection, we completed the system with our IceGuard Discharge Line.
With these upgrades in place, the basement is now fully protected against further water intrusion, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a dry, healthy space for years to come!
