At this North East residence, the owner reached out regarding a spot in the home that was beginning to sag. The home was built in the 40's and it has additions in 3 separate sections that were added later on. We had reason to believe that a beam from below in the crawl space was failing so the team went out and corrected the issue by installing our SmartJack Floor Support System. This system will lift and the existing beams, which will protect against any further movement.
A wet crawlspace or basement is not something any homeowner wants to deal with when they move into their new home and with this knowledge, this customer knew, before they could put their home on the market, they would need to correct the issue of a leaky crawl space.
After we sent our inspector to evaluate the crawl space, he saw that the customer already had a working sump pump in play, but there was no way for the water that was getting into the crawl space, to get over to the sump pump. Right away, he knew the solution to this wet crawlspace was our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and our Waterguard. The Cleanspace will direct any water intrusion down to the WaterGuard, which will then direct that water over to their current sump pump to be pumped out of the crawl space.
High Humidity levels in this crawl space had the homeowner questioning how to reduce the moisture before it started to damage the home. After speaking to a neighbor who had the same issue, he found out that encapsulation helped eliminate his issue, and he immediately reached out to our company.
First, we did a full Mold-X2 treatment to treat the mold that had already started growing due to the moisture. We then installed our SilverGlo insulation, Drainage Matting and a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier. To finalize this install, we installed brand new Vent covers and a Crawl space door, and a SaniDry Dehumidifier, which will keep humidity below 55%.
This homeowner in Earleville, MD, reached out to us regarding floor sagging on the main floor. Our inspector provided a free estimate inspection to find a solution. He suggested installing our SmartJack Support System, which are steel piers that are made to stop the settling. This system can even raise the floor back to its actual level. These piers are able to adjust over time and can help with future settling.
This homeowner in West Grove, PA, was facing challenges with a notably cold crawl space due to the presence of exposed dirt floors. These dirt floors tend to absorb moisture from the ground and release it into the crawl space, resulting in an unstable environment. The Quality 1st Basements team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that a complete encapsulation of the crawl space was necessary to effectively manage moisture and maintain heat retention. Our team installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a robust solution designed to keep the crawl space dry. Additionally, they installed SilverGlo insulation Panels to provide thermal protection while also creating a barrier against any existing moisture. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that her crawl space is not only protected but has also been transformed into a usable space, all while benefiting from reduced heating costs.
