Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer had a leaky crawlspace and the main cause of the leak, was due to an old crawlspace door. Replacing the crawlspace door with our EverLast door, will not guarantee a moisture free crawlspace, but when paired with our CleanSpace Vapor barrier, Drainage Matting and a Smart Sump, we can promise you that no moisture will be passing through those walls or floor in the crawlspace. 

This Before and After focuses on the door replacement, you will see the condition of the customers original door and then our replacement, the EverLast Crawlspace Door. Our EverLast Door will never rot or rust and has sturdy knobs that create and airtight, waterproof seal.

For this project the homeowner reached out regarding their finished basement and water coming in through the foundation walls. We were able to capture the water leakage with our CleanSpace Vapor barrier installation along with our WaterGuard sub-flooring drain system. The CleanSpace is a poly sheet material that covers the entire basement and works as a barrier for any water or vapor coming through into the home. This particular covering forces any type of seepage down to the sub-floor drain then flows into the sump pump, preventing any unwanted water in basement.  

A damp, musty crawl space might be out of sight, but it’s never out of mind for long. That was the case for a homeowner in Gwynn Oak, MD, who began noticing a persistent musty smell and increased humidity throughout their home. Concerned about the potential for mold growth, wood rot, and long-term structural damage, they turned to Quality 1st Basement Systems for a permanent solution.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified widespread moisture intrusion and high humidity levels throughout the crawl space, conditions that, if left untreated, could compromise both the health and safety of the home.

To address the issue comprehensively, we designed a customized waterproofing system tailored to the space. We installed our WaterGuard Interior Drainage System to collect any incoming water, along with a dual-pump solution, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System for maximum protection and our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for added redundancy. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, creating a durable seal that isolates the home from the damp earth below. Finally, we installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity and improve air quality.

With the full system in place, the homeowner immediately noticed a drier, cleaner environment and regained peace of mind knowing their crawl space, and home, was now protected for the long term!

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.

For this crawl space job, we did a Mold X 2 Treatment. Mold X2 is a highly effective cleaner for contaminated surfaces such as wood and masonry. While Mold X2 treatments eliminate mold, it does not prevent it from growing back unless the moisture is controlled. With that being said, we had to control the moisture in the crawlspace by installing a CleanSpace Vapor barrier and Drainage Matting,  which the matting not only creates a drainage space under the Cleanspace, but also acts as a thermal break, giving some insulation value. And then to keep the crawl space insulated, we installed SilverGlo, which features a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into your crawl space.
