After years of dealing with a damp, musty crawl space and rising humidity in their home, this homeowner from Nottingham, PA decided to take control of the problem by waterproofing the entire area. Their solution included Drainage Matting, CleanSpace, SilverGlo insulation, and a vent cover, a complete system designed to keep moisture out and protect the home from below.
The Drainage Matting was installed first to help channel any groundwater to the proper drainage system. On top, theCleanSpace vapor barrier now seals the crawl space from the earth, keeping out moisture, mold, and musty odors. The SilverGlo insulation panels add an energy-efficient layer that reflects heat and regulates temperature, while the vent covers permanently close off outside air and humidity.
Now, the homeowner has a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space, improving the comfort, air quality, and overall health of their home.
Preventing Crawl Space Moisture Intrusion In Nottingham, PA
Growing concerns surfaced for a Nottingham, PA homeowner when persistent dampness began to spread throughout their crawl space, signaling more than just a minor moisture issue. As humidity levels climbed, the homeowner feared the onset of wood rot, declining indoor air quality, and potential mold growth, problems that could affect both the home’s structural components and the health of its occupants. Wanting to protect their investment and prevent long-term damage, they reached out to Quality 1st for a detailed assessment and long-lasting solution.
During our inspection, the team identified specific points of moisture intrusion and designed a tailored waterproofing plan to fully address the environment. We installed our patented Drainage Matting to channel water effectively, SilverGlo Insulation Panels to improve energy efficiency and control temperature, and our StarPipe Drainage System to manage water flow throughout the space. To complete the protection, our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was applied, creating a durable, clean, and moisture-controlled environment.
With these systems working together, the homeowner now enjoys a healthier, safer, and more efficient crawl space!
In order to put this property on the market, the customer had to take care of the horizontal crack on the foundation wall. The solution for this foundation repair was our Carbon Armor Wall reinforcement system.
We used 12 Carbon Fiber strips, made from fiber-reinforced polymer that's 10 times stronger than steel, to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are bowed or cracked. We also used our ArmorLock system, which stops inward wall movement by connecting the CarbonArmor fiber strips to the home's perimeter framing.
At this property, the homeowner had noticed water seepage through the bottom of the original stone wall. We were able to assess it and install our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that runs along the wall, which will capture any water coming behind the wall system. We finished with our CleanSpace Wall system that works as a wall barrier to capture any moisture or leaks coming through the uneven stone wall. This will force all seepage to flow into the perimeter drain system.
At this Rising Sun property, the owner wanted to get the basement completely remodeled and started with waterproofing the space. Our team installed the WaterGuard, which lies flush to the foundation. Once installed, we connected the drain to our SuperSump pump system, which has the Zoeller M53 cast iron pump with the CleanPump Stand and WaterWatch alarm system. The SuperSump offers high-volume pumping and will let the owner know if the water level rises too high, keeping your basement dry.
