Challenge

Faced with persistent moisture problems in their crawl space, a homeowner in Cape May, NJ knew it was time to take action. They had been dealing with musty odors, rising humidity levels, and concerns about mold and structural damage. Moisture buildup in the crawl space was beginning to affect the overall comfort of their home, and the homeowner wanted a long-term solution that would not only eliminate the existing issues but also prevent future problems. That’s when they turned to Quality 1st for a professional and long-lasting waterproofing strategy.

Solution

Our team began with a full inspection to identify the primary sources of moisture and assess the overall condition of the crawl space. Based on our findings, we recommended a multi-step solution tailored to the home’s specific needs. We started by installing our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls. These panels are designed with a reflective barrier and closed-cell foam insulation that resist moisture and improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the home. To address active water intrusion, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three levels of protection, including a battery backup, to keep the space dry even during heavy rains or power outages. In addition, we included our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, a powerful and energy-efficient unit that controls humidity and prevents mold growth. These components work together to keep moisture levels stable and the air clean and healthy throughout the crawl space and the rest of the home. The final step was the installation of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, reinforced liner that completely seals the ground and walls to block moisture and water vapor. With this system in place, the crawl space was transformed into a clean, dry, and protected environment. The homeowner now enjoys a healthier home with improved air quality, greater energy efficiency, and the peace of mind that comes with long-term protection against crawl space moisture issues.

The crew installed SilverGlo Panels to improve energy efficiency and block outside moisture from entering through the crawl space walls. Paired with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which seals the crawl space floor and walls, this combination creates a complete moisture barrier, preventing dampness, mold growth, and heat loss for a healthier home environment.

With its three-pump system, including a battery backup, TripleSafe ensures continuous operation during heavy rains and power outages, keeping the space dry and preventing water damage to the home's foundation.

We also installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to effectively reduce high humidity levels in the crawl space, which can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality.
