After several periods of heavy rainfall, a homeowner in North East, MD began noticing elevated moisture levels in their basement, caused by cracks forming along the foundation walls. These conditions raised serious concerns about potential structural damage and the risk of mold growth—issues that could compromise both the safety and value of the home.

This homeowner in West Grove, PA, was facing challenges with a notably cold crawl space due to the presence of exposed dirt floors. These dirt floors tend to absorb moisture from the ground and release it into the crawl space, resulting in an unstable environment. The Quality 1st Basements team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that a complete encapsulation of the crawl space was necessary to effectively manage moisture and maintain heat retention. Our team installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a robust solution designed to keep the crawl space dry. Additionally, they installed SilverGlo insulation Panels to provide thermal protection while also creating a barrier against any existing moisture. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that her crawl space is not only protected but has also been transformed into a usable space, all while benefiting from reduced heating costs.
