Eliminating Moisture Intrusion In Margate City, NJ Crawl Space
Challenge
Throughout their home in Margate City, NJ, a homeowner began to notice persistent musty odors and elevated humidity levels, clear indicators of excessive moisture stemming from the crawl space below. These conditions not only created discomfort but also raised serious concerns about indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and potential structural damage. Realizing the need for a permanent solution, the homeowner reached out to Quality 1st for professional guidance.
Solution
After conducting a full inspection of the crawl space, our team identified several contributing factors, including exposed soil, poor insulation, and a lack of drainage support. To address the problem, we designed a customized encapsulation and waterproofing system tailored to the home's specific needs. SilverGlo Insulation Panels were installed to create a moisture-resistant thermal barrier along the walls, improving energy performance and helping to stabilize indoor temperatures. Next, we sealed the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to block ground moisture and reduce the risk of mold growth. To manage water intrusion, we added our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, an efficient drainage solution that protects the area from future flooding or plumbing leaks. Together, these components formed a comprehensive system that successfully eliminated the homeowner’s moisture issues and restored the crawl space to a clean, dry, and protected condition, ultimately enhancing the comfort, health, and value of the entire home!
