Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Concerned about a persistent musty odor and damp conditions beneath their home, this Elkton, MD homeowner suspected their crawl space was the source of the problem. Aware of the risks that excessive moisture can pose, such as structural damage, wood rot, and mold growth, they reached out to Quality 1st for help. Our team conducted a comprehensive inspection and quickly identified signs of water seepage and high humidity levels within the crawl space. These conditions not only threatened the structural integrity of the home but also had the potential to impact indoor air quality.

To properly address the issue, we installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, a durable, antimicrobial liner designed to seal the crawl space from the earth below and prevent moisture infiltration. This system was carefully fitted across the floor and up the walls to create a continuous, airtight barrier. With CleanSpace in place, we effectively stopped water vapor from entering the crawl space, eliminated damp conditions, and restored the area to a dry, healthy environment.

Thanks to this long-term solution, the homeowner can now enjoy a more comfortable living space above and lasting protection below.

In the dirt-floor crawlspace, we were able to encapsulate it by installing our CleanSpace system. We wrapped the CleanSpace around each of the bottom piers and surrounding walls along the perimeter, which is placed over our drainage matting that lies under the liner. By covering the dirt floor, we are able to prevent any moisture that can slip into the home, mold growth, and pests. 

In this dirt-floor crawl space, a plastic covering was placed over the dirt and the homeowners were experiencing high humidity in the upstairs living space. The Basement System team cleaned out the entire crawl space and installed our CleanSpace Vapor barrier on the contracted walls along with the bottom of piers. We also installed our high-efficiency SilverGlo insulated wall panels around the perimeter that have a radiant heat barrier and hold back any moisture or humidity. 

A homeowner in Elkton, MD, was referred to us after their termite inspector noticed moisture in the crawl space.
