Challenge

Recently, in Glenside, PA, a homeowner began to notice subtle but concerning changes within their crawl space, where persistent dampness along the walls and insulation falling from the ceiling signaled a developing moisture problem. These conditions are common indicators of water intrusion and, if left unaddressed, can lead to structural deterioration, poor indoor air quality, and increased energy costs. Understanding the seriousness of the situation, the homeowner reached out to the waterproofing professionals at Quality 1st for a thorough evaluation and expert guidance.

Solution

Following a detailed inspection, our team identified the source and extent of the moisture intrusion and explained how uncontrolled humidity can negatively impact a home’s foundation and living environment. To resolve these issues effectively, we engineered a customized waterproofing solution tailored to the crawl space’s specific needs. This plan included the installation of our patented Drainage Matting to direct water away from the foundation, along with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to isolate the crawl space from ground moisture and external humidity. Finally, to ensure long-term moisture control and healthier air conditions, we installed our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, designed to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round. Together, these systems work seamlessly to protect the crawl space from future water-related issues while improving the overall durability and comfort of the home. With the project complete, the homeowner gained lasting peace of mind, knowing their crawl space is now clean, dry, and professionally protected for years to come.

We installed Drainage Matting to create a clear path for groundwater, this system directs moisture away from the crawl space foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure and preventing water from accumulating along the walls and floor.

Next, the crew added our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to fully seal the crawl space from ground moisture and outside humidity, this durable barrier helps prevent mold growth, protects insulation, and improves overall air quality throughout the home.

Lastly, our SaniDry Sedona was implemented to maintain optimal humidity levels year-round, this high-efficiency dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, ensuring a dry, healthy crawl space and long-term protection against moisture-related damage.
