Challenge

In Millersville, MD, a homeowner started noticing indications of moisture buildup in their crawl space, including musty odors, damp insulation, and occasional mold growth. Over time, the humidity levels increased, leading to concerns about the long-term impact on their home’s structure and air quality. Realizing the problem was only getting worse despite several DIY attempts, the homeowner decided to contact Quality 1st for a permanent solution to protect their home from further damage and restore their crawl space to a healthy condition.

Solution

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended installing our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels along with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. The SilverGlo panels, designed with reflective foil and closed-cell foam, would not only provide superior insulation but also block moisture from penetrating the crawl space. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier would act as a durable, puncture-resistant seal, preventing water vapor from entering and keeping the area dry and clean.

Our team quickly got to work, first installing the SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls to enhance energy efficiency and create a moisture-resistant barrier. Then, we applied the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System across the floor and up the walls, creating a seamless, airtight seal that would keep out moisture, mold, and mildew. Together, these systems created an effective, long-lasting solution for moisture control in the crawl space, significantly improving the overall health of the home.

Once the installation was completed, the homeowner immediately noticed a difference in both the air quality and the overall condition of the crawl space. The musty odors were gone, and the space was now dry and well-insulated, protecting the home from potential structural issues. With the SilverGlo and CleanSpace systems in place, the crawl space was restored to a healthy condition, and the homeowner had peace of mind knowing their home was protected from further moisture problems!

This crawl space was suffering from ongoing water seepage, resulting in increasingly damp conditions. Luckily our System design Specialist was able to conduct an extensive inspection, and successfully determined the most effective waterproofing approach.

Our crew expertly installs SilverGlo Insulation Panels by first securing them to the crawl space walls, ensuring a tight, moisture-resistant fit. The panels' reflective foil surface helps improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss, while the closed-cell foam core prevents water vapor infiltration.

The crew installs our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System by carefully laying the heavy-duty, puncture-resistant liner across the crawl space floor and up the walls. The barrier is sealed at the seams to create a tight, moisture-proof seal, preventing water vapor, mold, and humidity from entering.
