Crawl Space Encapsulation In Carvel Beach, MD
Challenge
Increased crawl space moisture had become a serious concern for a homeowner in Carvel Beach, MD. Over time, they noticed worsening conditions beneath their home, excess humidity, soft or sagging floors, and an overall musty, uncomfortable atmosphere. Realizing the potential risks to both their home’s structure and indoor air quality, the homeowner reached out to our team in search of a comprehensive, long-term solution that would protect their investment and restore peace of mind.
Solution
During our detailed inspection, we discovered clear signs of water intrusion and weakened structural support, primarily caused by poor drainage, exposed soil, and a lack of proper encapsulation. To address the problem, we implemented a fully customized system starting with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, designed to completely seal off the crawl space from ground moisture. We paired this with an IceGuard Discharge Line to ensure proper water evacuation even in freezing temperatures, and installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to manage humidity levels and reduce the risk of mold and mildew throughout the home. To further reinforce the structure, our crew installed the SmartJack Support System, a series of adjustable steel supports engineered to stabilize and lift sagging floor joists. This multi-faceted solution not only eliminated the immediate moisture and structural issues, but also transformed the crawl space into a dry, stable, and energy-efficient environment. By the end of the project, the homeowner could finally enjoy a healthier, safer home, fully protected from future water damage and structural concerns.
