Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Recently we had the pleasure of assisting a homeowner in Port Penn, DE, who had been experiencing ongoing water seepage in their crawl space during periods of heavy rainfall. The homeowner noticed that the conditions of the space were becoming increasingly damp, which resulted in concerns relating to possible rot and mold-growth issues, prompting them to contact Quality 1st for long-term and reliable waterproofing approach. 

Upon further inspection, our team determined which solution would effectively resolve the seepage once and for all. Then our team started installing our patented SilverGlo Insulation Panels, these durable panels provide superior thermal resistance and moisture control, their reflective coating helps prevent heat loss, while their durable design protects against mold and mildew, ensuring long-lasting protection and a healthier living space. The team also installed our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, this system effectively seals out moisture, preventing mold, mildew, and odors from affecting your crawl space. Its durable, white finish brightens the area while providing long-lasting protection, ensuring a dry, clean, and healthy environment year-round!

The new homeowners were looking to clean out and encapsulate their damp crawl space. We had the team go out to the property to remove and haul away the falling insulation in order to encapsulate it. Once our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system was installed, we placed a drainage matting that lies under the CleanSpace liner. Lastly, we installed our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system that will capture any moisture or water from the vapor barrier, and then it flows down into the sump pump. 

This customer had a dirt floor crawlspace that she wanted to waterproof and encapsulate. We started this installation by removing debris and regrading the ground to redirect water towards the sump pump system. Next, we installed a crawlspace drainage system and added an IceGuard to the drainage line for extra protection from flooding during the cold seasons. Then we encapsulated the crawlspace using our CleanSpace vapor barrier. 

This tall crawl space in Wilmington, DE had lots of problems. First, there was a lot of dampness evaporating up from the floor and from the walls. This needed to be resolved by the installation of the CleanSpace vapor barrier. Second, the moisture had caused one of the joists to start rotting and deteriorating. Attempts had been made in the past to fix this, but they were insufficient.  We repaired it properly using a galvanized steel I-beam with SmartJacks to properly support the joists. SmartJack comes with a 25-year, transferable, nationally back, warranty.

There was also a major problem with the insulation. It had sucked up the moisture from the air and become heavy, which caused it to sag and fall. There was a lot of mold due to the fact that fiberglass insulation contains organic materials. The solution was to take it down and haul it away and replace it with SilverGlo around the perimeter. As you can see, the job turned out great and the customers were very happy.

Recently a homeowner in Elsmere, DE, was facing persistent water seepage in their crawl space, leading to damp, unsightly conditions and early signs of mold growth—issues that prompted the search for a permanent solution.

Next our team conducted a thorough assessment and implemented a customized waterproofing strategy, which included the installation of our patented SunHouse Window Well to protect against debris and water intrusion, SilverGlo Insulation Panels for enhanced moisture-resistant insulation, our mold-resistant CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System to seal out ground moisture, our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump for efficient water removal, and our IceGuard Discharge Line System to ensure proper drainage even in freezing temperatures.

This dynamic system worked in unison to eliminate further moisture problems and transform the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy environment, providing the homeowner with lasting peace of mind!
