Photo Album: Crawl Space Waterproofing In Essex, MD

This Essex, MD, homeowner was becoming increasingly concerned with ongoing water seepage in their crawl space, likely the result of persistent rainfall causing the space to become increasingly damp, dreary, and unstable. Luckily, once the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, our team was able to provide a tailored waterproofing plan that included the installation of our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, SmartJack System, SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, CleanSpace Crawl Space Vent Covers, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Together these systems eliminated further moisture-related issues and transformed the crawl space into a dry, healthy, and stable environment that the homeowner could safely enjoy for years to come!

Damp Crawl Space

A damp crawl space is often caused by excess moisture entering through open vents, poor drainage around the foundation, high humidity, or groundwater seepage. Without proper sealing and ventilation, this moisture can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality throughout the home.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal the crawl space and prevent moisture from entering through the ground and walls. This durable, reinforced liner creates a clean, dry environment that protects against mold, wood rot, and poor air quality, helping to preserve the home's structure and improve overall comfort.

Installing SmartJack

The crew installed the SmartJack System by first excavating small holes at key support points in the crawl space. We then placed engineered base footings and installed adjustable steel support jacks beneath sagging beams to restore stability and lift the floor back to its original position.

The Benefits Of SmartJack

The SmartJack System provides strong, adjustable support for sagging floors and failing crawl space beams. Made of galvanized steel, it resists corrosion and can support over 60,000 pounds. Its precision adjustability allows for long-term floor leveling and stability, helping to prevent further structural damage and restoring the integrity of your home.

SmartSump

SmartSump is specifically designed for crawl spaces, offering reliable protection against water intrusion. It features a powerful pump, an airtight lid to keep out moisture and odors, and a built-in WaterWatch alarm to alert homeowners to rising water levels. This system helps keep crawl spaces dry, prevents mold growth, and protects the home's structural integrity.

SaniDry Sedona

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier removes up to 100 pints of moisture per day while filtering mold spores, dust, and allergens from the air. With its energy-efficient performance and automatic drainage, it helps prevent mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors, improving indoor air quality throughout the home.

IceGuard Discharge Line

Our IceGuard Discharge Line provides crucial protection by allowing water to escape even if the exterior sump pump line freezes or becomes blocked. Its patented design prevents backups and basement flooding during cold weather, ensuring your waterproofing system works year-round, no matter the temperature.

Vent Cover

The CleanSpace Vent Cover seals off crawl space vents to prevent outside air, moisture, pests, and allergens from entering. Made of durable, weather-resistant materials, it helps maintain a dry, energy-efficient environment by improving climate control and supporting the effectiveness of crawl space encapsulation systems.
