In Middle River, MD, a homeowner became increasingly concerned as moisture levels in their crawl space began to rise, leading to damp floors, musty odors, and potential mold growth. Fearing the long-term effects of excess moisture, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and solution. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified several contributing factors, including poor ventilation, inadequate drainage, and high humidity, which were all impacting the crawl space’s health.
To address these issues, we designed a comprehensive waterproofing strategy that included the installation of our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump to efficiently remove any standing water. We also installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable liner that seals out moisture and vapor from the ground. To control humidity levels and prevent mold, we added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. CleanSpace Vent Covers were installed to seal off outside vents, and our IceGuard Discharge Line was added to ensure proper drainage during freezing conditions.
With these systems in place, the crawl space was completely transformed, eliminating moisture issues and providing the homeowner with a dry, healthy, and secure environment they could feel proud of!
In this dirt floor crawl space in Middle River, MD, mold was present on the beams along with the start of wood rot, which had caused the need to replace the subfloor. A plastic tarp was placed on the dirt floor to be used as a vapor barrier, which we replaced with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will reduce the moisture and humidity coming in. The team also wrapped the bottom of each pier with the CleanSpace barrier to fully encapsulate the crawlspace, turning it from a dark, dirty space into a clean and dry area.
In this dirt floor crawl space in Carney, MD, we installed our Crawl Space Encapsulation system that will capture the moisture and dampness that seeps up into the home. We also installed our SilverGlo insulated wall panels, that is an inorganic material that we placed on the foundation walls of the crawl space, acting as a heat barrier that won't support mold or mildew. Once we removed and hauled away insulation, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor barrier along the floor and walls that will reduce humidity in the crawl space and seal out cold drafts during those winter months.
We received a call from this customer with concerns of water entering into the crawlspace through the crawlspace door, during rain storms as well as the floors above the crawlspace were known to get cold during the winter months. After sending our inspector to evaluate the crawlspace, there was more to just water intrusion and cold floors. It was discovered that two beams in the crawlspace needed support as well.
Our company came out and installed 2 Smart Jacks under the 2 support beams, we installed Drainage Matting with CleanSpace, SmartPipe and a SuperSump Pump. We also replaced the main crawlspace door and 2 crawlspace vents.
This customer reached out to our company in need of a solution for his damp and humid crawlspace. Currently, the insulation was falling down and there was a dehumidifier running 24/7 that he found himself emptying, at least twice a day. We came out to the property and installed our SilverGlo Insulation, Drainage Matting, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with our SmartDrain and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Now this bright, clean and dry crawlspace can be used for storage again and the homeowner can be worry free of any damages that may have been caused by water and mold.
