Monday, May 5th, 2025 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Recently, a homeowner in Annapolis, MD, had been dealing with persistent dampness and musty odors in their crawl space, which were slowly making their entire home feel uncomfortable. The moisture buildup in the crawl space was leading to poor air quality that affected not just the air down below, but also the rest of the home. Musty smells and humidity were seeping into living areas, and the homeowner could tell that the environment was becoming less healthy over time. Frustrated by the ongoing issues, they reached out to Quality 1st for a permanent solution to protect their home and improve the living conditions.

Solution

Upon evaluating the situation, our expert crew devised a tailored plan to address the root causes of moisture intrusion and transform the crawl space into a dry, energy-efficient space. First, we installed our patented TrenchDrain System around the crawl space entrance to effectively capture and direct water away, preventing any future seepage. Then, we added SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the walls, which provided both thermal insulation and moisture resistance, helping to maintain stable temperatures and improve overall energy efficiency. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was then installed, creating a seamless, durable shield that completely sealed out ground moisture, humidity, and outdoor air from entering the crawl space. Finally, to ensure the crawl space remained consistently dry and healthy, we added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This powerful unit works efficiently to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round, keeping the air dry and free from mold and mildew. With the installation of these advanced systems, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, protected, and energy-efficient space. The homeowner now enjoys a healthier, more comfortable home with improved air quality, free from the persistent dampness and musty odors that once plagued their living space.

We installed our TrenchDrain System to prevent water from entering the crawl space, capturing and redirecting surface water away from the area during heavy rain and storms, ensuring the space stays dry and protected from moisture intrusion.

Next, our crew installed our SilverGlo Insulation Panels to enhance energy efficiency and prevent moisture buildup, while our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was added to completely seal out humidity and moisture, keeping the crawl space dry, insulated, and protected year-round.

Lastly, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain optimal humidity levels in the crawl space, ensuring the air remains dry and clean year-round, while preventing mold, mildew, and musty odors from affecting the home.
