Challenge

This Reisterstown, MD, homeowner began to notice troubling signs of water seepage around their basement and crawl space. Moisture accumulation in these areas raised concerns about potential structural damage, musty odors, and the risk of mold growth, all of which could threaten the safety and comfort of their home. Wanting to protect their property and improve indoor air quality, the homeowner contacted our team at Quality 1st for a permanent and dependable solution.

Solution

Upon arrival, our crew conducted a thorough inspection of the affected areas to identify the root causes of the water intrusion. Based on our findings, we developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the home's specific needs. This included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System to capture water seepage at the foundation level, and a TrenchDrain System to collect surface water at key entry points. To further protect the space, we installed CleanSpace Wall Panels to shield the basement walls from moisture and enhance its appearance, along with SilverGlo Insulation Panels to improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the home. To completely seal the crawl space and prevent ground moisture from affecting the home’s interior, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, creating a durable, protective barrier across the floor and walls. Lastly, we added a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity levels and eliminate the risk of mold, dust mites, and unpleasant odors. With these systems working together, the homeowner’s basement and crawl space were transformed into a dry, healthy, and inviting environment, providing peace of mind and long-term protection for their home.

Increased moisture levels in this homeowner's crawl space and basement were caused by poor drainage, water seepage through foundation walls, and high humidity levels due to lack of proper insulation and ventilation, creating the perfect environment for mold growth and structural damage.

We installed our WaterGuard Drainage System to capture and redirect groundwater seepage away from the foundation, and added CleanSpace Wall Panels to shield basement walls from moisture while providing a clean, bright finish, together creating a dry, protected, and healthier space.

Lastly, our crew installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels to boost energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the crawl space, paired with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal out ground moisture. To complete the system, we added a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity and prevent mold, creating a dry, healthy, and insulated environment.
