At this property, the block foundation was failing, and the floors started to sag over time. Our team went out to the home and installed our SmartJack crawl space stabilizer that is a high-capacity steel pier which is fully adjustable to your home and designed to stop the sagging. If not handled at a timely manner, it will be a serious problem for the foundation and can cause permanent structural damage.
This owner recently purchased a home and noticed that the block foundation in the crawl space had some cracks with sagging boards. We installed our SmartJack with joist assist under the home, which is designed to stop settling and can even raise a sagging floor back to being level. The steel piers are galvanized for corrosion resistance and can be adjusted easily if needed for future settling
Floors above the crawlspace were beginning to sag in this new homeowner's home. We came out, and it was determined that the crawl space needed a little more work than she had inspected.
There was moisture in the crawl space, causing areas of mold, so first we treated the mold with a Mold X Treatment, then we installed a SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, waterguard, a Smart Sump with floor alarm and Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier. The floors above the crawl space had failing joist supports and rotted sill plates, so we corrected the issue by replacing 11 sill plates, installing 5 Supplemental Steal Beams and 9 Smart Jacks.
What seemed like a minor moisture issue quickly became a major concern for this Nottingham, PA homeowner, who feared the long-term effects of water intrusion, such as mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Concerned about protecting their home’s structure and health, they reached out to the professionals at Quality 1st for expert guidance. After a thorough inspection, our team identified the moisture sources and developed a targeted solution to permanently dry and protect the crawl space.
We implemented a dynamic waterproofing system starting with our patented StarPipe Drainage System to direct groundwater away from the foundation. Drainage Matting was installed to keep water flowing beneath the surface, preventing puddling and saturation. To further protect and insulate the space, we installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels, sealed all open vents with Vent Covers, and encapsulated the area with our durable CleanSpace Vapor Barrier.
This multi-layered system now works together to keep the crawl space clean, dry, and energy-efficient, giving the homeowner long-term protection and complete peace of mind!
This Rising Sun, MD, homeowner had become increasingly concerned with ongoing water seepage in their crawl space, which was leading to moisture buildup, mold growth, and musty odors that were affecting the overall air quality in their home. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to address the issue, they contacted Quality 1st for a long-term solution.
Our team recommended a comprehensive waterproofing system, including our patented Drainage Matting to redirect water away from the crawl space, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal the area and prevent moisture infiltration. To further manage water, we installed the SmartPipe Drainage System and the SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, which efficiently pumped water out of the space, while the IceGuard Discharge Line System ensured proper water flow, even in freezing temperatures.
Once installed, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, healthy, and inviting environment, free from the moisture-related problems that had plagued the homeowner, giving them peace of mind and restoring their home’s integrity!
