Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Essex, MD, was concerned about persistent water seepage in their crawl space, which had become damp and unstable due to consistent rainfall. The moisture was not only causing the area to feel musty and uncomfortable but also threatening the structural integrity of the home. Seeking a long-term solution, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st, and our team quickly assessed the situation, creating a customized waterproofing and stabilization plan to address the specific issues.

Our dynamic solution included the installation of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to keep moisture at bay, along with our SmartJack System to provide structural support and lift sagging beams. The SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump was added to effectively remove water, while CleanSpace Vent Covers sealed out humid outdoor air and pests. To further control moisture, we installed the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, ensuring the air in the crawl space stayed dry and healthy. These systems worked together to eliminate future water intrusion and transform the crawl space into a dry, stable, and healthy environment that the homeowner can confidently rely on for years to come.

In this stone floor crawl space, the homeowners were noticing cold drafts coming in through the house and were in need of encapsulating it. Inside the crawl space, we placed our drainage matting under the CleanSpace liner that will transform the damp, dirty space into a clean, dry foundation. Then we installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier all around the foundation walls and on the bottom of each pier, which will then create better conditioning air by resolving water issues.

In Middle River, MD, a homeowner became increasingly concerned as moisture levels in their crawl space began to rise, leading to damp floors, musty odors, and potential mold growth. Fearing the long-term effects of excess moisture, they contacted Quality 1st for a professional evaluation and solution. After conducting a thorough inspection, our team identified several contributing factors, including poor ventilation, inadequate drainage, and high humidity, which were all impacting the crawl space’s health.

To address these issues, we designed a comprehensive waterproofing strategy that included the installation of our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump to efficiently remove any standing water. We also installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable liner that seals out moisture and vapor from the ground. To control humidity levels and prevent mold, we added our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. CleanSpace Vent Covers were installed to seal off outside vents, and our IceGuard Discharge Line was added to ensure proper drainage during freezing conditions.

With these systems in place, the crawl space was completely transformed, eliminating moisture issues and providing the homeowner with a dry, healthy, and secure environment they could feel proud of!

In this dirt floor crawl space in Middle River, MD, mold was present on the beams along with the start of wood rot, which had caused the need to replace the subfloor. A plastic tarp was placed on the dirt floor to be used as a vapor barrier, which we replaced with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will reduce the moisture and humidity coming in. The team also wrapped the bottom of each pier with the CleanSpace barrier to fully encapsulate the crawlspace, turning it from a dark, dirty space into a clean and dry area. 

In this dirt floor crawl space in Carney, MD, we installed our Crawl Space Encapsulation system that will capture the moisture and dampness that seeps up into the home. We also installed our SilverGlo insulated wall panels, that is an inorganic material that we placed on the foundation walls of the crawl space, acting as a heat barrier that won't support mold or mildew. Once we removed and hauled away insulation, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor barrier along the floor and walls that will reduce humidity in the crawl space and seal out cold drafts during those winter months.
