Targeting Crawl Space Moisture Intrusion In Kintnersville, PA
Challenge
Ongoing crawl space moisture intrusion had become a major concern for a homeowner in Kintnersville, PA, as they noticed the area growing increasingly damp and uncomfortable. With the risk of mold growth, musty odors, and potential structural damage on the rise, the homeowner knew it was time to act. They reached out to Quality 1st in search of a long-term solution that would not only resolve the water intrusion but also improve the overall condition of the space.
Solution
After conducting a detailed inspection, our team designed a customized waterproofing and encapsulation plan tailored to the specific conditions of the home. We began by installing our patented Drainage Matting along the crawl space floor. This durable material features raised dimples that create a channeling system to direct groundwater toward proper drainage, helping to eliminate standing water and prevent future pooling. This step laid the foundation for a dry and manageable crawl space environment. To further enhance performance, we installed SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls. These panels offer high R-value insulation while reflecting heat back into the space, improving energy efficiency and temperature regulation. Finally, we completed the encapsulation by sealing the entire area with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a thick, durable liner that blocks moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space. The result was a fully protected, energy-efficient, and healthy crawl space, giving the homeowner confidence and long-term peace of mind!
