This homeowner from Ellicott City, MD had been dealing with a damp, musty crawl space that made their home feel uncomfortable and musty year-round. Concerned about mold, poor air quality, and potential damage to their home's structure, they decided to waterproof the space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. This heavy-duty vapor barrier was installed along the crawl space floors and walls, completely sealing out moisture and humidity. The transformation was dramatic, no more musty odors, reduced risk of mold, and noticeably better indoor air quality. The homeowner now enjoys a healthier, more energy-efficient home, with added protection for their foundation, all thanks to the CleanSpace system.

What began as a musty odor and soft, sagging floors quickly turned into a major concern. In Ellicott City, MD, a homeowner became severely overwhelmed by ongoing water intrusion in their crawl space. The area had become increasingly damp, musty, and structurally compromised, creating not only discomfort but also the potential for long-term damage. Frustrated by the persistent issues and worried about the impact on their home’s health and value, they reached out to Quality 1st Basement Systems in search of a permanent solution.
Upon inspection, our crawl space experts found clear signs of moisture infiltration: wet and exposed soil, deteriorating insulation, and high humidity levels contributing to mold risk and poor air quality. To address the issue thoroughly, we designed a customized waterproofing plan featuring our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This system includes a durable, 20-mil thick liner that’s sealed tightly along the walls, piers, and floor to create a continuous barrier against ground moisture. The CleanSpace system not only isolates the home from the earth but also creates a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient environment underneath the home.
Once installed, the transformation was immediate. The crawl space was dry, brighter, and far more structurally protected. Humidity levels dropped, odors disappeared, and the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their home was now safeguarded against future moisture issues. With CleanSpace in place, they no longer had to worry about the hidden damage lurking below their home, just a clean, healthy crawl space built to last!
