Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

What lies beneath can have a bigger impact than most homeowners realize. In Ellicott City, MD, one homeowner discovered this firsthand when they became overwhelmed by persistent moisture and musty odors rising from their crawl space. Over time, the area had grown increasingly damp, with visible signs of wear, wood deterioration, and a lingering sense of unclean air throughout the home. Concerned about the long-term effects on both their health and their property’s foundation, the homeowner turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a lasting, professional solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team identified widespread moisture intrusion caused by exposed earth, poor sealing, and lack of vapor protection. To resolve the issue, we installed our patented CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, 20-mil thick liner engineered to seal the crawl space floor and walls completely. This system isolates the home from ground moisture, reduces humidity, and helps prevent mold and structural damage.

The results were immediate, the crawl space became clean, dry, and protected, offering the homeowner renewed peace of mind and long-term protection beneath their home.

Growing concern over rising dampness and humidity in their crawl space led this Ellicott City, MD homeowner to seek professional help. Persistent water seepage had begun to create an unhealthy environment beneath their home, raising the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and potential structural weakening.

Wanting a long-term solution to protect their property, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st Basement Systems for an expert evaluation and reliable waterproofing plan.

Following a thorough inspection, our team identified the primary sources of moisture intrusion and designed a custom waterproofing system to address the issue.

At this raise farmhouse property the owner could feel the cold air coming up into the home. We encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will capture any moisture or vapor that seeps in. Then we placed on the foundation walls our SilverGlo insulated wall panel system that is high-efficiency graphite-impregnated insulation designed to keep the entire crawl space warm and will help save the homeowner money in the long run. 

In this ranch-style home, the crawl space was made of dirt and was in need of encapsulation. We went out to the home to clean out the space and removed all fallen insulation that had gotten ruined over time. The team installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier throughout the crawl space and wrapped each pillar to prevent any type of moisture from leaking into the area. Once the waterproof plastic material is placed, we also installed our Sanidry Dehumidifier that will keep the space dry, moisture-free, and will no longer have the musty smell.
