Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was in dire need of help with his damp, moldy crawlspace. He called us for assistance and we transformed this space for him. We started with regrading to direct water seepage towards the sump pump. Next, we took care of a mold issue using our Mold-X2 Cleaner and Botanical. Then we installed SilverGlo insulated wall panels along with our CleanSpace liner and drainage matting for a total crawlspace encapsulation system. The CleanSpace system acts as an effective moisture and vapor barrier while providing a bright, stain-resistant finish that never needs repainting or maintenance.

Unchecked crawl space moisture can quietly lead to major structural and health concerns, and this was the challenge facing a homeowner in Severn, MD. Ongoing water intrusion raised alarms about potential wood rot, mold growth, and compromised air quality, all of which could affect the overall safety and comfort of the home. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the homeowner reached out to the experts at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a professional and lasting solution.

Our System Design Specialist, Chris, conducted a detailed inspection to identify the root cause of the water seepage, allowing us to develop a fully customized waterproofing plan. The solution included SilverGlo Insulation Panels, which help reduce condensation and improve energy efficiency, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which fully encapsulates the crawl space to block moisture from the ground.

Together, these high-performance systems restored the crawl space to a dry, stable, and healthy condition, providing the homeowner with lasting protection against future water problems and peace of mind!

For this crawl space job, we did a Mold X 2 Treatment. Mold X2 is a highly effective cleaner for contaminated surfaces such as wood and masonry. While Mold X2 treatments eliminate mold, it does not prevent it from growing back unless the moisture is controlled. With that being said, we had to control the moisture in the crawlspace by installing a CleanSpace Vapor barrier and Drainage Matting,  which the matting not only creates a drainage space under the Cleanspace, but also acts as a thermal break, giving some insulation value. And then to keep the crawl space insulated, we installed SilverGlo, which features a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into your crawl space.

We were recommended to this homeowner by a neighbor who had a dirt floor crawl space with water coming in and wanted to upgrade the area with an encapsulation. By encapsulating the space, the team installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that is designed to protect the area from humidity and excess moisture coming in. This system is moisture-proof and will prevent issues such as mold or pests. We also wrapped each pier with our vapor barrier, which will keep this below-grade space dry and moisture-free. 

In Lutherville Timonium, MD, a homeowner reached out to Quality 1st after dealing with persistent water seepage that left their crawl space damp, musty, and uninviting. Concerned about the long-term effects of moisture, such as mold growth and structural damage, the homeowner was looking for a permanent solution.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing plan that included installing our SilverGlo Insulation Panels—providing thermal protection without absorbing moisture—and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal out humidity and ground water.

These high-performance systems worked together to eliminate moisture intrusion, improve energy efficiency, and transform the crawl space into a dry, clean, and healthy environment, giving the homeowner lasting protection and peace of mind!
