Challenge

In Bryn Mawr, PA, a homeowner recently noticed damp conditions in both their basement and crawl space, likely caused by persistent moisture intrusion. Over time, the moisture problem worsened, creating an increasingly uncomfortable environment that raised concerns about potential structural damage and mold growth. Realizing that the situation could escalate, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st in search of a long-term waterproofing solution to protect their home and restore the dry, healthy conditions they once enjoyed.

Solution

Next, our team of waterproofing experts conducted a comprehensive assessment of the basement and crawl space. We identified the root cause of the moisture intrusion and worked with the homeowner to develop a customized waterproofing plan tailored to their specific needs. The solution included the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, which effectively captures and channels water seeping through the basement walls. To enhance the system’s efficiency, we also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, providing a reliable, multi-level solution for continuous water removal. Additionally, we added our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to both the crawl space and basement, creating a mold-resistant shield that prevents moisture buildup and ensures the space remains dry and healthy. Once the systems were in place, the homeowner immediately noticed a remarkable difference in the conditions of both the basement and crawl space. The previously damp and uncomfortable areas were now dry, healthy, and inviting. The installation of these high-performance waterproofing solutions not only resolved the moisture issue but also provided the homeowner with a renewed sense of pride in their home. With peace of mind knowing their basement and crawl space were now fully protected, the homeowner could enjoy a safer, more comfortable living environment free from the worry of water damage and mold.

The main causes of wet crawl space conditions include poor drainage, leaks in the foundation, high humidity, and inadequate ventilation, all of which allow moisture to seep in and create damp, unhealthy environments.

To start the waterproofing process our crew installed WaterGuard to effectively capture water seeping through the walls and direct it towards the sump pump, preventing moisture buildup and protecting the home's foundation from damage.

Next the Quality 1st crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide reliable, multi-level protection against flooding, ensuring continuous water removal even during power outages or extreme weather conditions.

Lastly our crew installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal out moisture, prevent mold growth, and keep the basement and crawl space dry, improving air quality and protecting the home from water damage.
