Addressing Crawl Space Concerns In Glen Burnie, MD
Challenge
Overtime this Glen Burnie, MD, homeowner had been struggling with persistent water seepage in their crawl space, which was causing major issues for the structural integrity of their home. Each time it rained, the excess moisture seeped through the ground, creating a damp environment that slowly began to affect the support beams. As the beams weakened, the floors above started to sag, leading to an uncomfortable and unsafe living situation. The homeowner became increasingly concerned about the long-term damage this could cause, from mold growth to even more severe structural problems. After trying temporary solutions, they realized they needed professional help and contacted Quality 1st to implement a permanent solution.
Solution
Our team arrived to assess the situation and recommended a two-part solution: the SmartJack Reinforcement System and our durable CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. The SmartJack system was installed to stabilize the sagging support beams by placing adjustable steel columns beneath them, lifting and supporting the structure. This reinforcement restored the floors to their original position and ensured they would remain stable for years to come. Next, we installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which was carefully placed across the crawl space floor and sealed against the walls using sturdy plastic pegs to prevent moisture from entering. With these powerful systems in place, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, healthy, and stable environment, completely eliminating the damp conditions and providing long-term protection against water intrusion. The homeowner was relieved to finally have a solution that restored their home’s foundation and peace of mind!
