Friday, October 24th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Water damage was silently compromising the structural integrity and air quality of this Cape May, NJ home, and the homeowner knew they needed more than a quick fix. During periods of heavy rainfall, an observable and concerning increase in water seepage around the crawl space became a recurring nightmare. This persistent dampness was not just an inconvenience; it raised serious alarms about potential structural rot and health-impacting mold-growth. Recognizing the long-term risks, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent and professional solution that would safeguard their investment and their family's health.

Solution

Upon receiving the call, the Quality 1st team performed a thorough inspection of the crawl space to diagnose the full extent of the issue. The findings confirmed the need for a reliable moisture-preventative strategy. A customized waterproofing plan was meticulously designed, focusing on three key elements to provide a lasting, multi-layered defense. The installation included our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels to stabilize temperatures and reflect heat, our durable CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to completely isolate the space from the earth's moisture, and our powerful SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels. The result of this strategic installation is a crawl space that is now a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home. The integration of these high-performance products successfully halted the water seepage, eliminated the conditions for mold growth, and protected the home against structural damage. The homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, knowing that their Cape May residence is secured by a professional, warranted, and lasting solution from Quality 1st, transforming a dark, damp problem area into a healthy, dry environment that adds to the home's value and overall comfort!

We installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls to provide premium insulation and thermal reflection. These panels create a thermal break, stabilizing temperatures and preventing outside cold or heat from entering the space.

To permanently stop moisture from entering the space from the earth, our crew encapsulated the entire crawl space with our heavy-duty CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This durable, bright white liner completely isolates the home from the ground, blocking soil moisture and humidity from permeating the area.

Finally, we installed our energy-efficient SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to complete the moisture control system. Even with the vapor barrier, some airborne humidity can remain. The Sedona is specifically designed for crawl spaces, powerful enough to filter and dry the air, maintaining optimal humidity levels.
