Resolving Moisture Concerns In Paoli, PA Crawl Space
Challenge
A frustrated homeowner in Paoli, PA had been dealing with persistent water intrusion in their crawl space for far too long. The damp environment not only created a musty odor throughout the home but also raised concerns about potential mold growth and weakening of the home's foundation. After trying temporary fixes with no long-term success, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st, hoping for a permanent and professional solution.
Solution
When our team arrived, we conducted a detailed inspection of the crawl space, identifying signs of water damage, high humidity, and sagging floor joists. With a clear understanding of the issues, we developed a customized waterproofing and stabilization plan to address both moisture control and structural support. First, we installed our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls. These panels not only added thermal protection but also served as a barrier against moisture, helping improve the home's energy efficiency. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable and mold-resistant liner that seals out ground moisture and transforms the space into a clean, dry area. To address the structural concerns, we reinforced the floor joists with our SmartJack System, galvanized steel supports designed to stabilize and even lift sagging floors. This three-part solution completely eliminated water intrusion, improved air quality, and fortified the foundation. By the end of the project, the once-problematic crawl space was now a dry, insulated, and structurally sound part of the home. The homeowner could finally breathe a sigh of relief, knowing their home was healthier, more energy-efficient, and fully protected for the long term.
