At this Pasadena home, the crawl space was getting filled with water during rainfall. We sent a team out to install our crawl space encapsulation system with a Drainage Matting that lies under the CleanSpace liner. The durable liner is a 20mil thick, 7 layer polyethylene composition that is reinforced with polyester cord. This system will help seal out cold drafts and it helps reduce moisture in the air, keeping the humidity low.
We were called regarding high moisture in this dirt crawl space, and the homeowners wanted to look into sealing it at some point. Our team removed, hauled and of all the old damp insulation from the crawl space to make room for the liner. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation system to address the crawl space problems and to cut down on the vapor that seeps in through the dirt floor. Lastly, we surrounded the perimeter walls with our SilverGlo insulated wall panels to keep a dry and energy crawl space.
In Pasadena, MD, a homeowner began noticing signs of foundation settlement in their basement, such as visible cracks in the walls and floors that were becoming uneven. The likely cause of the issue was prolonged water seepage due to an aging and underperforming sump pump that had failed to effectively manage groundwater around the foundation. As a result, water infiltration over time had created pressure on the basement walls and contributed to the settling of the foundation. Concerned about the potential for further damage, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, seeking a professional and comprehensive solution to restore the stability and integrity of their home.
Our team responded by installing a series of advanced systems designed to tackle both the water intrusion and foundation issues. We began with the installation of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which was designed to redirect groundwater away from the foundation, preventing any further seepage. Next, we upgraded the existing sump pump to our powerful SuperSump Premier Sump Pump, ensuring efficient water removal. To address the moisture issues and improve the overall appearance of the basement, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels, which act as a vapor barrier and prevent moisture from passing through the walls. Finally, to stabilize the bowing foundation walls, we used our CarbonArmor Reinforcing System, which uses high-strength carbon fiber straps to provide permanent wall stabilization.
With all these systems in place, we successfully restored the basement to a dry, healthy, and structurally sound condition, giving the homeowner peace of mind and lasting protection against future water and foundation problems.
This homeowner from Pasadena, MD noticed their concrete walkway was settling. They called Quality 1st basements for a free quote. Our System Design Specialist performed an inspection and noticed voids under the slabs that were creating the settlement. They injected Polylevel under the settled slab, lifting it so it was level with the rest of the walkway. Finally, the cracks were sealed with NexusPro to prevent moisture from entering and eroding the slabs. The homeowner now had a more appealing and safer walkway that would last them through rain or shine.
