We were reached out to by the buyers of this of this property, while going through home inspections, one of the inspectors had pointed out that the pillars were not stable enough to support the house and they would need to be assessed as soon as possible.
We came out to the property to find the current support system made up of cinder blocks and 2 x 6s and we knew immediately our Smart Jack System was needed for this crawlspace.
We came out and installed 1 Supplemental Steel Beam with 2 Smart Jacks. SmartJack is a high- capacity adjustable steel pier that is designed to stop settling and can even raise your floor back to where it was.
This customer was looking for help improving her dirt floor crawlspace. The space had a strong musty odor and there were definite signs of mold growth. We recommended a crawlspace encapsulation system with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. First, we started by regrading the ground to redirect any water seepage towards her sump system. Then we removed the old insulation and treated the entire area with our Mold X2 cleaner and botanical. In place of the old insulation, we installed our SilverGlo insulated wall panels and spray foam. Finally, we lined the floor in Cleanspace drainage matting and our Cleanspace liner. This crawlspace is now safer, healthier and more energy efficient.
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.
